Bali is lucky in its own way when it comes to oceans and seas. Two oceans wash its shores at once, the Pacific and the Indian Ocean.
In any case, temperatures in the Pacific and Indian oceans around the warm island of Bali are about the same all year round. Many tourists prefer the beaches in the southern part of Bali, and therefore go for a swim in the Indian Ocean, which has a year-round temperature of between +24°C and +28°C.
The temperature of Bali's inter-island sea in the Pacific Ocean stays between +27°C and 28°C all year round. The Indian Ocean waves can be quite high and there are many surfers at Kuta.
The tides around Bali are more than noticeable. Bali's sea tides sometimes reach the 1.7 meter mark, and this is something to consider if you're going to the northern beaches of the island. Depth changes occur approximately every six hours. It is better to find out the local tide schedule in advance. Maximum tides here can reach a mark of 2.5 meters. Bali's sea waves are also quite noticeable, with surfing also available on the island's northern beaches.
