Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Sanur Reef
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SE, so wind from the NW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SE. Wind from the SE blows onshore, wind from the NW blows out to sea, and wind from the SW or NE runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 550 m out (1 in 53). The sea is about 27°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For kitesurfing at expert level the best month is usually July, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Sanur. Within 5 km we also list 4 surf spots, 2 wind sports spots and 4 dive sites.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
