The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been watching the charts for Dreamland. This stretch is a bit of a mixed bag—there’s plenty of swell on the table, but the wind is mostly cross-off and the conditions aren’t always playing nice. The real standout is going to be Tuesday the 11th, with a solid pulse of energy and the best call of the forecast window. Let’s break it down.
We’ve got a slow start. The first few days, from Saturday the 8th through Monday the 10th, have a solid 7ft to 10ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a very long period of 16 to 19 seconds, and combined swell energy is moderate to strong (3113 to 5492). That’s proper power. But the wind is a cross-off from the SE at 12 to 16 mph, and while the surf looks clean, the forecast notes marginal conditions due to questionable tide. It’s not terrible, but it’s not a standout. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is pretty average for the time of year, so no wetsuit worries.
Now, Tuesday the 11th morning—that’s the pick. Swell holds at 10ft from the SSW, period still long at 17 seconds, and combined energy is strong (5324). The wind drops to a gentle cross-off from the ESE at 9 mph, and the call is “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” This is the one to aim for. At 10ft, it’s only for the crew with some chops—beginners should sit this one out. The direction is SSW, which lines up well with Dreamland’s optimum SW swell direction. Crowds can be a thing here sometimes, so don’t be surprised if there’s a few out.
Wednesday the 12th through to Sunday the 16th sees the swell easing back to 5ft to 8ft, still from the SSW, with periods dropping a bit. The wind stays cross-off and moderate, and the scores are lower. There’s a little blip on Thursday the 13th with 10ft and strong energy (5835), but the wind is a fresh cross-off at 16 mph, and the tide looks iffy again. Not a major highlight.
Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th are the weakest days—swell down to 5ft to 6ft, energy dropping to 960 to 2220. That’s weak to moderate, and the wind is picking up to 16-19 mph. Not much to get excited about.
Then from Wednesday the 19th through to Friday the 21st, the swell builds back up. Friday the 21st morning is another possible standout: 10ft SSW groundswell with a period of 17 seconds, strong energy (4739), and a light breeze from the ESE at just 6 mph. That’s about as clean as it gets—glass with a light offshore tickle. The call is “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers” again. This is the second best window, but it’s a week and a half out, so treat it as promising but not locked in.
After that, the last few days into the 23rd drop off a bit, with 6ft to 7ft and fresh winds, though Sunday the 23rd morning does swing to a true offshore from the ESE at 22 mph, which would be clean if the swell holds.
Bottom line: Dreamland is mostly a spot for experienced surfers through this run, with the standout being Tuesday the 11th morning, and a solid backup on Friday the 21st morning. Don’t expect perfection every day, but there’s enough grunt in the water to keep the stoke alive.
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.
