Uluwatu

Dry (May–September): Best weather—sunny, low humidity and steady swells ideal for surfing. July–August are busiest (peak), with higher prices and crowds; surf contests often run in this window. Great for cliff sunsets and temple visits. Wet (November–March): Hotter, humid, frequent afternoon storms and choppier/onshore surf. Tourist numbers drop outside the December–New Year holidays (another peak), so you’ll find lower rates and fewer crowds most of this period. Kecak dances at Uluwatu Temple run year‑round but feel quieter now. Shoulder seasons (April, October): Best balance—good surf and weather, fewer visitors and better deals. Cultural events: Nyepi (Day of Silence, March) closes businesses island‑wide; Galungan/Kuningan (every ~210 days) bring colorful temple ceremonies—both add unique cultural experiences if your timing aligns.
