The Lowdown

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

Right now, the surf is pretty marginal and borderline. The first few days are a bit of a write-off if you’re chasing clean, proper waves – the winds are cross-off but there’s a fresh breeze and the swell quality is holding things back. There are some solid pulses of energy coming through, with strong moderate to strong wave energy readings (1188 down to 742 early on), but the conditions just aren’t linking up. It’s one of those frustrating periods where the ocean’s got power, but the surface is messy.

Thursday the 5th of September is where things start to wake up properly. The swell builds and swings more SSW, and while the wind is still cross-off, it’s a moderate breeze. By Saturday the 5th of September, we're seeing a solid 6ft to 7ft SSW groundswell with a very long 16-second period. Combined energy is cranking into the strong range (1739 to 2143), but the wind is still cross-off. It's surfable and clean, but don’t expect perfection.

The real standout comes Monday the 7th of September. Morning session is looking like the pick of the early run: 7ft of SSW groundswell with a 14-second period, combined energy of 1834 (strong), and a gentle breeze making it clean. That’s the kind of morning where Dreamland’s beach-and-reef setup can start to show its teeth. This swell is too big for beginners – you’ll want some experience under your belt. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Through the second week, there’s a lot of surf on the board but with a bunch of "marginal" flags. Wednesday the 9th of September morning stands out again: 8ft SSW groundswell, period 16 seconds, combined energy over 3000 (very strong), light breeze, and excellent conditions for experienced surfers. That’s a serious morning. After that, the swell settles a bit, but it stays consistently in the 5ft to 8ft range with decent periods. The winds stay cross-off or cross-shore, and many days are clean.

The last real highlight is Thursday the 17th of September morning – 6ft SSW, 13-second period, combined energy 1018 (moderate), gentle breeze, and described as "expect very good surf conditions." A solid way to round out the outlook, but obviously it’s a long-range call and not as locked in as the near-term stuff.

Overall, Dreamland has a lot of surf over the next 16 days, but the quality is often held back by the wind being cross-off rather than proper offshore. The consistent standouts are the mornings with lighter breezes. If you’re an experienced surfer, the 7th and the 9th of September are your target windows. For beginners, too much size and power on those days – stick to the smaller windows around 5ft if you’re learning.

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.
