When to go
The beach-day index peaks in May–October; August scores 9.5/10 with highs of 27 °C, sea at 25.8 °C and 16 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Indonesia in the same month.
Across the year the sea averages 27.7 °C, warmer than 87% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
January is the wettest month (318 mm) and August the driest (16 mm); the yearly total is about 1,630 mm.
Daylight runs from 11.6 hours in June to 12.6 hours in December; in mid-August the sun rises at 06:29 and sets at 18:18 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south (185°). Open water fills about 44% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in October–February; in mid-December it goes down at 18:33 local time on a bearing of 246°.
Sunrise is over the sea in November–January.
Straight out to the south there is open water for more than 2,000 km, so the beach is exposed to long ocean swell. The beach is on Bali Island, an island of about 5,393 km².
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 22 m deep and 48 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 88 m above sea level 500 m inland and 121 m at 1.5 km, so the beach is backed by steep slopes or cliffs.
Within 1 km, the land is 50% tree cover, 32% grassland and 9% built-up land (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 49% of that circle.

Land cover: ESA WorldCover 2021 (10 m). Orientation from OpenStreetMap land polygons sampled in 36 directions; depths and heights from the GEBCO 2020 grid (about 450 m cells), indicative only.
Rainfall reaches 318 mm in January and stays above 250 mm in January, February and December.
