The Lowdown

Rusty here again, switching to feet and miles an hour for the crew who think in those numbers.

Alright, Dreamland. The water’s about average for the season, nothing to write home about. Here’s the full rundown.

Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th? Don't bother. Swell is around 4ft to 6ft from the SSW, but it's a cross-off wind and the energy is just moderate. The forecaster is calling it marginal. It's not going to be clean or make much sense.

Friday the 28th brings a bigger pulse – 8ft from the SSW with a 16-second interval. That's real groundswell energy (3592). But the wind is a moderate cross-off, so it’ll be messy. At that size and period, the beach breaks will be closing out hard. This is for the experts, and only if they’re feeling ugly.

Saturday the 29th is the call for the first week. Swell drops to a still-chunky 7ft from the SSW at 15 seconds, but the wind backs off to a light breeze. It’s almost glassy. The energy (1671) is strong, and the forecast is for excellent surf for experienced surfers. This is your window for clean, powerful lines. Crowds will be likely on a Saturday, so get in early.

Sunday the 30th fades – swell goes down to 5ft, wind picks up to 15 mph, energy drops, and we’re back to marginal. A skip day.

Monday the 31st is the other standout. 5ft to 6ft of swell, but the period is a massive 18 seconds. That’s a true deep ocean swell. The wind goes offshore from the ESE at 15 mph. Moderate breeze, but offshore is offshore, so the waves will be clean. Energy is solid (1618) and the call is excellent. The long period might make it close out a bit, but that offshore wind will be your best friend.

Then the 1st of September through the 4th is a long stretch of onshore-ish cross-off winds and marginal calls. The swell stays around 5ft to 6ft, but it’s not going to be clean.

Your final good look is Saturday the 5th of September. Swing back to 6ft from the SSW with a gentle breeze. Energy is strong (1547), and the morning call is excellent for experienced surfers. A promising option, but being a week and a half out, keep an eye on it.

Bottom line: Mark Saturday the 29th of August and Monday the 31st of August on your calendar. Saturday for the clean, glassy conditions with a good swell, Monday for the massive, long-period groundswell and offshore wind.

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.
