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.

June at Kuta Beach brings consistent, surfable conditions with an average swell height of 2.0m and a solid 15.0s period, providing powerful, well-spaced waves. The swell predominantly arrives from the SSW and SW directions (over 60% of the time), with the majority of waves in the 1.5–2.5m range, offering ideal conditions for intermediate to advanced surfers. Wind conditions are variable, with onshore ESE winds being the most frequent, occasionally blowing at 20–30kph (about 30% of the time), which can create choppy surf. However, ideal offshore or light cross-shore winds occur 33% of the time, mainly from the ENE to SE range, cleaning up the waves for better performance. Expect a mix of clean and slightly wind-affected days, but overall, June delivers reliable waves with good power and rideable conditions, especially when the wind cooperates.
