The south faces the Indian Ocean and its long-period swell: Kuta, Canggu and Uluwatu are surf beaches with strong currents. Sanur and Nusa Dua sit behind reefs and are much calmer, and the north coast (Lovina) and the east (Amed) face the Bali Sea, out of the swell. In the dry season the southeast wind is offshore on the west-facing surf beaches.
From May to September the dry-season trade wind blows from the southeast; from November to March the wet-season monsoon comes from the west.

Calm water, waves under 0.3 m on this beach (our estimate), normal. 1.3 km from Kalibukbuk.
