Canggu weather at a glance
Canggu sits a few degrees south of the equator, so temperatures barely move between seasons. Early-to-mid November typically shows highs near 29–31°C (84–88°F) and lows near 24–25°C (75–77°F). Rain and humidity change far more than heat does. Wet-season month boundaries vary by year, so confirm the current outlook with Indonesia's meteorological agency BMKG before you book.
- Climate: tropical, warm all year
- Wet season: typically November to March, with January and February often the heaviest
- Dry season: typically the months between April and October
- Humidity: high all year, and most noticeable in the wet months
Dry season vs. wet season in Canggu
Both seasons are workable. Dry months suit beach days, scooter rides and day trips. Wet months suit travelers who accept a daily shower in exchange for greener scenery and, often, softer prices. As an illustration only, a villa might list near Rp 800,000 a night in a quiet wet-season week against Rp 1,200,000 or more in peak July. Treat those amounts as an example of the pattern, not a quote, and check current listings.
| Dry season (about April–October) | Wet season (about November–March) | |
|---|---|---|
| Rain character | Mostly dry, occasional shower | Short heavy downpours, some wetter days |
| Humidity | Noticeable but lower | Higher and stickier |
| Sea and surf | Check swell and wind before booking surf | Conditions shift, so check forecasts daily |
| Best for | Beaches, scooters, day trips | Cafes, massage, cooking classes, lower rates |
Month-by-month guide for Canggu
November is the transition into the wet season. Early-month days tend to bring showery afternoons with highs near 30°C (86°F). Transition months are variable, so a dry week in November or an April downpour is normal. Treat December to March as the rain-prone stretch. Treat April to October as the safer window for outdoor plans.
Rp 1,200,000 or more in peak July falls within June–October, the drier window, so the illustrative rate gap tracks the season.
- November: transition, showery, warm
- December–March: wet season, with January and February often heaviest
- April–May: rains ease, a good shoulder window
- June–October: typically the drier months
Daily weather rhythm
In early November, hourly forecasts have shown the calmest weather overnight and the wettest window from morning to afternoon. Treat that as a typical pattern, not a guarantee. Sunrise is roughly 05:48 and sunset roughly 18:17, and both shift slightly across the year. Start surf and beach walks early. Schedule indoor stops for midday. Check the live forecast on the morning you travel.
What to do when it rains in Canggu
A showery day does not mean a lost day. Start with a long breakfast at one of the best Canggu cafes. Book a treatment at a Canggu massage spa for the heaviest hour. Learn local dishes in a Canggu Cooking Classes: Options, Prices & How to Choose. Browse covered stalls at the local markets, or wander Canggu's boutiques. Save beach time, surf sessions and temple visits for the dry spells between showers.
Weather and logistics: scooters, roads and trips
Wet roads make scooters riskier, so skip heavy-rain rides. Narrow lanes can pool water, and ride-hail demand often rises in downpours, so verify availability before you rely on it.

What to pack for Canggu weather
Pack for heat first and rain second. Quick-dry clothes handle humidity of around 24–30°C (75–86°F) days. A light rain layer covers sudden showers. Reef-safe sunscreen matters even on cloudy days. Bring a dry bag or phone pouch to protect electronics. Still deciding whether to go? Read whether Canggu is worth visiting. For seasonal visitor guidance, see Bali's provincial tourism site.
November highs near 29–31°C (84–88°F) mean a short, heavy shower lands on a hot day, so a light rain layer earns its space.
