Spring & neap tides at Sanur, Bali

Next spring tide on Sun 03 May (range 2.4m). Last neap on Mon 27 Apr.

Spring tides cluster around new and full moons (biggest swings). Neap tides land on quarter moons (smallest swings). See the spring tide and neap tide glossary entries for the why.

About tides at Sanur, Bali

Sanur sits on the calmer south-east coast of Bali, facing the Badung Strait across to Nusa Lembongan and the Bukit Peninsula curling away to the south-west. The reef shelf runs about a kilometre offshore and shelters the long sand-and-coral beach that the Dutch colonial-era hotels first opened up to outside visitors in the 1930s; the current generation of Bali's beach culture is concentrated on the south coast at Kuta and the Bukit, but Sanur retains the gentler, family-oriented identity that the reef geometry gives it. The tide here is a small mixed semidiurnal signal, two highs and two lows of unequal size each day with the asymmetry shifting through the lunar month and pushing toward strongly diurnal at certain phases. Mean range at the Sanur and Benoa harbour gauges is about 1.4 metres, climbing past 2.4 metres on the largest spring tides and dropping near 0.6 metres on neaps. The defining rhythm of the year is the monsoon — the south-west wet monsoon from November through March drives onshore swell against the Bukit's south-coast reef breaks at Uluwatu, Padang Padang, and Bingin and turns the air into something you wear, while the south-east dry monsoon from April through October cleans up the same coastline for the legendary surf season and lets the trade-wind sailors out on the Badung Strait crossing to Nusa Lembongan. Sanur on the east-facing coast reads the same calendar in reverse: family-friendly snorkelling and SUP windows on the inside lagoon fall on the higher half of the cycle when the inside reef shelf clears, and the lowest spring lows expose the inner coral and the seagrass beds that the green sea turtles graze. The morning rituals at Pura Segara Sanur on the beachfront, the Mertasari mangrove estuary at the southern end of the bay, the working sailing canoe (jukung) fleet still launching from the sand, and the temple ceremony at Pura Tanah Lot up the south-west coast timed to low water for pilgrim access all read the table for different windows. Open-Meteo Marine drives the gridded predictions on this page; for authoritative Indonesian tide data, BMKG and the Pushidrosal Hydrographic and Oceanographic Centre of the Indonesian Navy publish the official tide tables and operate the Benoa harbour reference gauge.

Common questions about tides at Sanur, Bali

When is the next high tide at Sanur?
The hero block shows the next high tide at the Sanur reef gauge in Bali local time (WITA, UTC+8 year-round, no DST). The 7-day table covers all daily highs and lows. The Bali Strait crossing to Nusa Lembongan adds about 15 to 25 minutes to the Sanur high-water timing depending on which channel you take.
What's the typical tide range at Sanur?
Mean range is about 1.4 metres at the harbour and reef gauges, with two highs and two lows of unequal size most days. Spring tides push close to 2.4 metres and neaps drop near 0.6. The asymmetry between the higher high and the lower low varies through the lunar month and shifts toward a strongly diurnal pattern at certain phases — that is normal for the Indonesian archipelago and reflects the meeting of the Indian Ocean and South China Sea tidal systems through the Indonesian seaways.
Where do these tide predictions come from?
Open-Meteo Marine, a gridded global ocean model. Useful for planning the Sanur reef snorkelling, the SUP and outrigger windows on the inside lagoon, and the Nusa Lembongan crossing. For authoritative Indonesian tide data, BMKG and Pushidrosal publish the official tide tables and operate the Benoa reference gauge across the bay.
How does the monsoon cycle affect the surf and reef windows at Sanur?
The south-east dry monsoon from April through October cleans up the south-coast surf at Uluwatu and Padang Padang and brings the calmest reef-snorkelling windows to Sanur on the east coast. The south-west wet monsoon from November through March turns the south coast onshore and messy and pushes the surf to the east-side reefs around Sanur and Nusa Lembongan. The astronomical tide runs the same calendar regardless; the wind and swell pattern is what changes which side of the island reads cleanest.
Is this safe to use for navigation?
No. For piloting Bali's coastal waters, transiting the Badung Strait or the Lombok Strait, or working the reef approaches at Sanur and Benoa use Pushidrosal authoritative tide tables, the Indonesian Hydrographic and Oceanographic Centre nautical charts, and the local BMKG marine weather warnings. The Lombok Strait current can run over four knots on the change of tide and demands real navigational sources.
