When Is the Best Time to Visit Lombok?
Lombok is a year-round destination, but your ideal time to visit depends on what you’re looking for: perfect weather, amazing surf, or cultural experiences. Here’s our guide to choosing the best season to enjoy Kuta Lombok and beyond.
☀️ Dry Season (April to October)
This is the most popular time to visit Lombok. Expect sunny days, blue skies, and low humidity. Great for beach days, trekking, and outdoor activities.
- Surf: Consistent swells, perfect for all levels
- Weather: Warm, dry, with temperatures between 27–32°C
- Best for: Surf trips, snorkeling, hiking Mount Rinjani, exploring waterfalls
🌧 Rainy Season (November to March)
The rainy season in Lombok is lush, green, and a bit quieter. Rain tends to come in short bursts, usually at night or early morning, leaving plenty of sun in the day.
- Surf: Cleaner waves on some south-facing breaks
- Weather: Humid, with occasional heavy showers
- Best for: Retreats, nature photography, fewer crowds
🏄 Best Months for Surfing
Lombok is a surfer’s paradise, and while you can surf year-round, some months are especially consistent:
- May – September: Prime surf season with consistent swells
- October – November: Fewer people, glassy conditions in the morning
- Beginners: Year-round options in Kuta with mellow breaks
Ask us at Reset Hotel for daily surf conditions or to book a private lesson with a local instructor.
🎉 Local Events & Culture
Timing your trip around local events can make your stay even more memorable:
- Bau Nyale Festival (Feb/March): A sea worm-harvesting tradition with music, ceremonies, and beach gatherings
- Islamic Holidays: Lombok has a rich Sasak and Muslim culture — expect parades, family gatherings, and colorful markets
- Local surf competitions: Held in Kuta or Gerupuk throughout the year
🌿 Our Favorite Time?
We love May to June — sunny, green after the rains, and before the high season crowds. It’s peaceful, fresh, and ideal for resetting.
