Seasons: Dry Season or Wet Season

Sumba is drier than Bali, so it works year-round.

May – October

Dry Season

Sunny days and little rain for beaches, surfing and exploring.

  • Best for beach time and surf
  • Clear skies for day trips
  • Busiest in July and August

November – April

Wet Season

Lush landscapes, full waterfalls and fewer crowds.
