The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.

It’s gonna be a bit of a slow burn for the first week or so, with a lot of onshore wind and bumpy conditions. The standout period is looking like the end of the 16-day window, where we’ll finally see the stars align for some proper clean waves.

Dreamland is the only spot in the mix, a beach and reef setup that’s fairly exposed to the swell. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.

The first real action we can talk about is from Monday the 21st of July. We’ve got some solid energy in the water, with a combined energy of (1326), but it’s a messy picture. The wind is a cross-off, but it’s a moderate to fresh breeze, and the swell is a bit short-period. It’s rideable, but far from clean. The advice is to wait it out.

The whole week from the 21st to the 25th is a bit of a write-off. The wind is mostly cross-off and fresh, keeping the surface bumpy. The swell heights hover around 3 ft to 4 ft from the SSW, with a decent period of 13 to 17 seconds, but the wind just doesn’t let it clean up. It’s a frustrating stretch.

The weekend of the 26th and 27th gets worse. We get a bigger pulse of swell, hitting 8 ft on the 27th morning from the SE, but the period drops to a short 8 seconds, and the wind cranks up to 25 mph. That’s a recipe for a washing machine. The combined energy is still high (1300), but it’s messy, powerful, and short-period. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Then we hit a gap. From the 28th of July, the swell drops and the wind stays on it. Not much to get excited about.

Now, here’s where it gets good. Wednesday the 29th of July is the first real sign of life. The wind drops to a light breeze, going offshore, and the swell is a clean 4 ft from the SSW at 14 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (773), but the conditions are finally glassy. The morning is looking particularly good.

Thursday the 30th of July is the standout. The morning is glassy, absolutely flat calm, with a 5 ft SSW groundswell at 16 seconds. The combined energy jumps to (1328). The afternoon is even better for experienced surfers: a 5 ft swell with an offshore light breeze and a combined energy of (1460). This is the best of the window. The waves will have great shape, long lines, and those long period sets will make paddling out a breeze. The wind will be light and clean.

The following Friday and Saturday (31st July and 1st August) keep the momentum. We get a bigger swell, 6 ft to 7 ft from the SW, with a very long period of 18 seconds. The wind is light and cross-off. The combined energy goes through the roof, hitting (2581) on the Saturday afternoon. This is big, powerful, clean groundswell. It’s an expert-only zone at that size, with long, hollow walls. The crowds are likely to be there, but for good reason.

The first week of August sees the swell stick around, but the wind picks up a bit, keeping it from being perfect. Still, there’ll be plenty of waves for the crew who can handle the size.

Bottom line: Don’t waste your time the first week. The real magic is on the 30th and 31st of July, and the 1st of August. Glassy, long-period, clean groundswell. That’s your window.

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.
