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.

November at Kuta Beach delivers consistent surf with an average swell height of 1.5m and a solid 13.7s period, providing well-spaced, powerful waves.
