Kuta Beach - surf spot statistics

Kuta Beach in Indonesia is a consistent surf spot year-round, with ground swell dominating the swell composition almost exclusively from April to October and remaining highly prevalent in other months. The best surfing conditions typically occur during the dry season, from April to October, when ground swells are most reliable and wind conditions improve significantly. April stands out with 100% ground swell, 58% favorable wind conditions, and a manageable mean swell size of 1.6m, making it one of the top months. May through September also offer excellent conditions, with swell size peaking in August at 2.2m, though wind conditions are less favorable in mid-year months like June, July, and August (only 23-33% good wind days). September and October provide a strong balance with clean swells and improving offshore winds (46-57% good wind days). November is another solid month with decent swell and nearly even good/bad wind splits. While March and April show improving winds, the earlier months (January-February and December) suffer from high onshore wind prevalence (78-84% bad wind days), though swell consistency remains strong. If you prioritize the best blend of swell size, consistency, and wind conditions, April, May, September, and October are the optimal months for surfing at Kuta Beach.

In February, Kuta Beach offers consistent surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.6m and a strong 13.1-second period, ensuring well-formed, powerful waves. The swell predominantly comes from the SSW (58.9% of waves between 1-2.5m) and SW (31.8% in the same range), delivering clean, rideable waves with good energy. The WSW direction contributes a smaller but punchy portion (3.62% of waves 1.5-2.5m), adding variety to the lineup. Wind conditions are less favorable, with only 20% of days providing ideal offshore or light winds for surfing. The majority of winds blow from the W and WSW (often 10-30kph), which can create choppy onshore conditions, particularly in the afternoons. While the swell direction and period make for quality waves, surfers should aim for early sessions when winds are lighter. Overall, February at Kuta Beach is reliable for intermediate to advanced surfers, offering powerful, moderately sized waves, but wind management is key to scoring the best conditions.
