February remains part of the rainy season on Bali, though it sees slightly less rainfall compared to January. You can still enjoy time by the pool or sunbathing at the beach, but be prepared for rain showers in the afternoon or at any time during the day. February is particularly interesting as the Balinese prepare for Nyepi. It’s also a great time for those seeking a quieter experience, with many people relaxing in cafes in Ubud or dining at restaurants in Sanur.
The sea along the southwest coast, including areas like Kuta, Seminyak, and Canggu, tends to be rough due to the wind and currents, making it ideal for surfing or paragliding. Unfortunately, these beaches can often become dirty with rubbish washed ashore. However, the Bali government and several NGOs have been actively conducting regular beach clean-ups, so the situation is gradually improving, and the beaches are becoming cleaner.
