The short answer
When to go to Nusa Dua
May to September is the best window, with the least rain, slightly lower temperatures and calmer days for beach and outings; July and August are driest but busiest. April and October are good shoulder months. December to February brings heavy rain and humidity, which can flatten plans for older travellers, and Water Blow and beach conditions vary with weather. Temperatures barely change through the year, so heat management matters in every month.
