The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The only spot worth talking about in this whole 16-day window is Dreamland, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a solid run of swell hanging around, but the wind is going to be a talking point for most of it.
The pattern starts on Tuesday the 8th of September. We’ve got a 7ft SSW swell rolling in with a 13-second period, but the wind is a cross-off from the SE at 12 mph. It’s clean, but the wave comment calls it marginal. The combined energy is strong at 2916. That energy stays high through the week, with similar conditions. Wednesday the 9th sees a bump to 8ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, but again, that cross-off wind keeps it from being perfect. The energy is still pumping at 3079. For a beach and reef setup, that long period (16 seconds) means the swell will be lined up and powerful, but at this size, over 8ft, it’s really only for the experts. Beginners should sit this one out.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, comes on Monday the 14th of September. The morning session is the pick of the bunch. We’ve got a 6ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and finally, the wind swings to true offshore from the ESE at 12 mph. The combined energy is a solid 1677, and the wave comment says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” That offshore wind is going to groom those lines beautifully. The swell direction from the SW is right in the zone for Dreamland’s optimum. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon turns a bit cross-off again, but that morning window is gold.
After that, it settles into a long run of similar but slightly smaller surf. The wind stays mostly cross-off, keeping things clean but not glassy. The energy drops a bit, but it’s still moderate to strong. We get a little whisper of something interesting on the 22nd of September (Tuesday) in the afternoon. A 4ft SSW swell with a 16-second period and a gentle breeze, and the wave comment says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” That’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but it sounds promising.
Overall, there’s surf almost every day, but don’t expect perfection. The 14th of September morning is your best bet. The rest is fun, consistent, but a little on the marginal side for the average punter. The energy is there, the swell is there, but that wind just won’t fully cooperate most days.
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.
