The Lowdown

Alright, team, Rusty here. We’ve only got one spot lighting up in the 16-day window: Dreamland. It's a beach and reef setup, rated for advanced surfers, and it’s fairly consistent. The water temperature is sitting at 26°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

The week kicks off on Friday, 28 August, with a solid 8ft SSW swell running on a long 16-second period. That’s a strong groundswell, and the combined energy is a hefty 3499, so there’s plenty of power. But the wind is a cross-off from the ESE at 12 mph, which keeps things clean, though the tide and conditions are a bit marginal. It’s workable for the experienced crew, but not a standout.

Saturday, 29 August, sees the swell drop a bit. Morning brings 6ft SSW swell at 15 seconds, with a light 3 mph S wind going cross. That’s glassy, and the surf looks clean, but the energy is still solid at 1540. Afternoon improves with 4ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and a light SE cross-off at 9 mph. The conditions are very good, but the size is mellow.

Sunday, 30 August, and Monday, 31 August, are a mixed bag. Sunday has 5ft SW swell with 13-second period and a cross-off ESE breeze at 12 mph – okay but not special. Monday morning is the real highlight of the first week: 4ft SSW swell, but with an 18-second period and a true offshore wind from the ESE at 16 mph. That’s glassy, clean, and the energy is 1367. Conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. The long period means the waves will be well-shaped but may break a bit straight at this beach-reef setup – still, the offshore gives it a clean face.

The rest of the first week and into the second week sees a lot of 7ft to 4ft SW and SSW swell, with moderate cross-off winds. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so keep that in mind. The energy stays moderate (in the 1000s to 2000s), but there’s nothing that really jumps out as a classic day.

Fast forward to Friday, 11 September, and we’ve got a big pulse. Morning sees 8ft SSW swell at 16 seconds with a gentle 9 mph SE cross-off. The energy jumps to 4646 – that’s strong. Then Friday afternoon hits with 12ft SSW swell, 18-second period, and a moderate 12 mph SSE cross-off. The energy is massive at 7674. That’s big, powerful groundswell, and it’s only for the experts – 12ft is no joke. Conditions are marginal, but for the right surfer, this could be the session of the month.

Saturday, 12 September, keeps the big swell going with 10ft SSW at 17 seconds, both morning and afternoon. Energy is still very strong (5893 and 4868). The wind is light SE at 9 mph, making the conditions excellent for experienced surfers. This is the other standout – big, long-period groundswell, clean, and full of energy.

If you’re looking for the best, I’d point to Monday, 31 August, for the cleanest conditions with the offshore wind, and then Friday, 11 September, afternoon for the biggest, most powerful groundswell – but that one is strictly for the experienced. The 12 September also looks excellent for those who can handle the size.

Rusty.

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.
