Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dreamland over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Dreamland. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, pretty exposed to the swell. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
First few days are a little slow, but don’t give up. Wednesday the 2nd has a clean 6ft SW groundswell, 16-second period, with an easterly offshore breeze. The combined energy is solid (1970), but it’s a marginal call. Thursday the 3rd is similar, a bit smaller at 5ft in the morning, still offshore and clean. The swell is backing off a touch those first two days, but the conditions are good.
Friday the 4th drops to 4ft to 5ft, lighter cross-off wind, still clean but lacking that punch. The combined energy dips to 661 in the morning – a bit weak.
Then Saturday the 5th wakes up. The morning brings a solid 6ft SW groundswell, 16-second period, and a gentle cross-off from the SE. The combined energy jumps to 1837, and it’s called excellent for experienced surfers. That’s your first standout. The swell hits 7ft in the afternoon, so it’s getting bigger – still good for the crew with some skill.
Sunday the 6th keeps that energy with a 7ft SSW swell in the morning, 17-second period, and moderate cross-off wind. The combined energy is a massive 2990. That’s a lot of power heading into the reef. Too big for beginners, but for the right surfer, that’s a session.
The rest of that first week and into the second week holds a steady run of 5ft to 7ft SSW/SW groundswells, all with clean cross-off winds and moderate energy. Nothing’s perfect, but it’s consistent. The standout in the second week? Look at Tuesday the 15th. Morning session shows a 7ft SSW swell, 16-second period, gentle cross-off breeze, and the combined energy is 2280 – another excellent call for the experienced surfer. That’s your long-range target, though it’s a bit less certain this far out. Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th also have morning sessions with 6-6ft SSW swell, very light breeze, and excellent ratings – promising, but wait and see.
Crowds at Dreamland can be an issue sometimes, so get out there early, especially on the weekend.
Bottom line: The first few days are clean but small. The real standout is Saturday the 5th morning, and the second week’s best bet looks like Tuesday the 15th morning. Keep an eye on the long period swells – they’ll be breaking a bit straight on the beach, but the reef should handle it well.

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.
