On the beach/sand and in the water due to the winds from Java. I personally would not swim or surf in the Kuta/Legian/Seminyak area at the time of year.
Sanur beach is cleaner at that time of year but the surf is way out... You need a boat to get to it.
I am not a surfer but do go to Bali lots of times.
Why not try the island of Nusa Lembongan. When i was there there were a lot of surfers who seemed to be enjoying the waves. Also great for snorkelling.
