Sea condition between Bali and Sydney in November / December

[SSCAF001]

I was wondering what kind of sea conditions I should encounter during my coming cruise between Bali and Sydney end November / beginning December. Anyone having cruised in this part of the world at that time of the year, thanks for sharing!

Hi there, did the same trip on Seabourn in November 2017.

The  weather was great  and sailing was very smooth but the only place we couldn’t get off was at Mooloolaba as we were due to use tenders but the swell was too much. 
Otherwise sure  the itinerary will be pretty similar.

have a great trip

Perfect time of the year to do this itinerary.... have done it twice at this time. You will have a great cruise

The only hitch can be an early cyclone.  They are forecasting a late season so seas should be very calm as the wind drops in late October and doesn’t usually pick up until the Cyclones hit.  It will be very humid...

Thank you! Usually the cyclone season starts in January? Correct?

Cyclone season officially runs from 1 November to 30 April.....
