Today in Bali there are high tides at 1:18 am (0.1 ft) and 1:20 pm (0.0 ft) and low tides at 8:56 am and 6:03 pm. Right now the tide is rising toward the high tide at 1:20 pm. The sun rises at 6:39 am and sets at 5:29 pm: 10 h 50 min of daylight. The moon is 86% illuminated (waning gibbous) and rises at 7:59 pm. Major solunar periods run from 1:42 am to 3:42 am and from 2:14 pm to 4:14 pm. The next spring tides arrive from November 9 to 11. The sea is slight, with 3.1 ft waves. There's a gentle breeze from the west-northwest (9 mph). Overcast, 62 °F.

Your day at a glance

The best window, 2:30 am to 3:40 am, combines a major period and some swell. Also worth a try from 3:30 pm to 4:10 pm, with a major period, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure. Also worth a try from 5:10 pm to 6:00 pm, with sunset, a light onshore breeze and some swell, though with rising pressure.

Species with the most records nearby: common two-banded seabream, white seabream, dusky grouper and common cuttlefish. October is one of the months when these are seen most: white seabream and dusky grouper. What you can catch

Tides

Tides in Bali

Today's high and low tides

  • ▲ High tide 1:18 am 0.1 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 8:56 am -0.1 ft
  • ▼ Low tide 6:03 pm -0.1 ft

↑ Rising The tide is rising. 3 h 26 min to high tide at 1:20 pm.

In Bali the astronomical tide is very small: about 0.2 ft between high and low tide. Here the sea level is moved mostly by wind and air pressure (storm surge), which can raise or lower it more than the tide itself.

2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on July 14 (0.2 ft) and the lowest, on August 12 (-0.1 ft).

Heights above mean sea level. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. mean sea level

Where this tide comes from

No significant tide

Tides from the FES2022 station (AVISO/CNES), 1.6 mi from Bali. Times and heights are its predictions.

Station data attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

How we calculate the tide

Sea and waves

The sea at Bali

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: slight

Slight Douglas 3 · moderate breeze, Beaufort 4
Waves 3.1 ft · 4.6 s from the north-northwest (335°)
Swell 2.3 ft · 4.1 s from the north-northwest
Current 0.4 mph toward the SE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common1.5 ft
  • Significant3.1 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest6.5 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 6.5 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 6.5 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 9 mph WNW · gusts 20

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Cross-onshore Hourly wind →

Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days

Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Thursday 29: 3.7 ft with a period of 5 s, from the north-northwest (slight).

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Water about normal for late October.

Today’s surf at a glance

The best window, 3:00 pm to 5:55 pm, has a good size, though with a short-period swell. 11:00 am to 2:00 pm can also work, with a good size, though with a short-period swell.

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, combines light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also worth a look from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm, with light wind and weak current, though with some swell.

In Bali the tide barely moves the water, so there's no slack to wait for: swell, wind and current are what count.

Never dive alone and check with the local dive shop: this rating is a guide, not a substitute for a professional.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:42–3:42 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:14–4:14 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:58–10:58 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:29–8:29 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 850 ft from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 0.8 mi.

From the shoreline (0.35 mi from Bali) out to sea, heading north.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep700 ft
  • 33 ft deep850 ft
  • 66 ft deep1,250 ft
  • 164 ft deep0.8 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 850 ft from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 850 ft and 66 ft at 1,250 ft from shore.
