What is the weather like in Bali?
Bali is an island located in the tropics so you can expect warm and humid conditions all year round. As with all islands located in the tropics, there are 2 predominant seasons: a Dry season and a Rainy season. Rainy season runs from mid-October to March however, the rain generally falls late afternoon and early morning. The islands we visit on our Day Charters are less effected by the monsoonal rain and are considered a lot drier than their big sister, Bali.
Please see here for full terms and conditions.
It’s very rare we get a full day of rain in Bali, especially out on the islands. However, if our experienced staff can confirm prolonged rain for the whole day, we will advise the passengers prior to charter and offer an alternative cruise date. If an alternative cruise date cannot be found, then a full refund will be provided. Any decision on suitable weather conditions will not be made at the discretion of the passengers. Please see here for full terms and conditions.
All vessels provide undercover areas for protection of the passengers from rain and sunshine. Haruku, Jemme and Burjuman also have AC available in their galley’s and cabins for additional relief if required.
The water temperature in Bali and her outlying islands is generally a warm 27 degrees Celsius from July to September increasing to 29 degrees Celsius between November and May. Please note that there can be a chance of cool water in the currents
It’s common to experience swell in the Bandung Strait between Bali and the Nusa islands, however once over on the islands, it is well protected. Our experienced captains know exactly where to position the vessel with consideration to the sea conditions on the day.
