August delivers just two-four brief showers all month and the coolest nights (down to 20–21°C in Ubud). Kitesurf season runs at Sanur; west-coast surf stays excellent. August 17 is Indonesian Independence Day — flags, parades and street games across the island. Peak pricing continues, so reserve well in advance.
