Ocean current at the site runs at a typical 3.7 km/h. In the strongest tenth of the hours modelled for 2024 it reaches 8.3 km/h, which is when entries are normally timed to slack water at the turn of the tide.
The tide moves the water level by a median 1.5 m over a day, and by up to 2.1 m on the largest days of the month. That range drives how much water is exchanged over the reef and when the current turns.
Offshore wave statistics are not shown for Jetty Post Ii: within 10 km of the site there is land in the directions from which 94 % of the waves in the area arrive, so open-sea values would overstate the swell at the site itself.
Jetty Post Ii lies inside West Bali National Park. Protected areas can carry their own rules on entry fees, permits, anchoring and fishing; check the current rules with a local operator before you dive.
