The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about Dreamland in feet and miles per hour.
We’ve got a solid stretch of swell coming in, starting this Saturday the 15th. It kicks off with a beefy 7.9 ft SSW groundswell, period at a long 17 seconds – that’s proper energy. The combined energy is a strong 3202, so plenty of push. Water temp is about 78°, which is normal for this time of year, nothin’ wild.
That long period means Dreamland, a beach and reef setup, might see waves run a bit straight. The real standout – and the best on offer – is Wednesday the 19th. Morning has 7.9 ft at 18 seconds, and afternoon builds to 8.2 ft at 17 seconds, combined energy hitting a massive 4037. That’s serious grunt, but over 8 ft, so this is for experienced surfers only. Wind is a cross-off from the ESE at 16 mph, keeps it clean enough, but not glassy.
The whole run has moderate breezes, no light stuff, so it’ll be a bit bumpy but rideable. For a mellower session, Monday the 17th drops to 4.9 ft, energy at 934 – weaker. Another real highlight is Friday the 28th. We get a 7.5 ft SW groundswell at 16 seconds, and the wind drops to a gentle 9 mph cross-off. Combined energy 2827 – solid, but the lighter breeze makes it the cleanest of the period. That Friday morning and afternoon is your best bet for shape without getting thumped.
Second week settles into chest to head-high sets. Monday the 24th has a brief offshore wind from the ESE at 16 mph – a nice cleaner moment. Saturday the 30th wraps it with a strong 6.9 ft SW swell at 18 seconds, energy 3288, but wind picks back up to 16 mph.
Overall, surf almost every day, but quality is “marginal” – it’s there, but you’ll work for it. Wednesday the 19th and Friday the 28th are the standouts. Get on it.

Information about the Dreamland Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Dreamland provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Dreamland can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Dreamland surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Dreamland) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Dreamland may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Dreamland is 10 km (6 miles) from the city of Kuta. If you plan a holiday in The Bukit - Bali, look for hotels and other accommodation in Kuta. Kuta has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
