Nusa Penida: Weather Today

📅 Wednesday, September 16, 2026
Today offers a rather mixed experience for a beach trip to Nusa Penida. While the air temperature reaching 30 °C feels quite warm, persistent light drizzle and occasional sudden shifts in wind mean it is not an ideal day for lounging on the sand. The water is pleasantly warm at 25.9 °C, though the choppy waves reaching 1.6 m make swimming challenging and potentially hazardous. If you do head out, keep in mind the UV Index is 8.95, so sun protection is essential even if the sky is not perfectly clear. Given the combination of unsettled weather and rougher sea conditions, it is likely better to plan your coastal activities for a calmer day.
