Peak Season: Indonesia is a vast country, but in general, the dry season – June to September – is peak season. Ramadan, Christmas and New Year are also very busy times. During Ramadan (the date is based on a lunar cycle and varies each year) entertainment venues close by midnight and some close altogether. During Eid Al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, all of Indonesia, or so it seems, is on the move, as Indonesians travel to spend time with family. April to September is high season as far as surfing goes.  Off Season:  The wet season – mid-January to March – is “low” season but this varies from island to island.
