The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu at Dreamland over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of SSW swell lining up, nothing too crazy to start, but it builds into some serious size later on. The water is sitting at 80°, pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The week kicks off proper on Thursday the 30th of July with some waist to chest-high sets around 5ft from the SSW. The wind is a bit of a cross-off, not glassy but it’s keeping things clean enough. The combined energy is already pumping at 1261 (moderate), but honestly, the quality is just okay. Thursday afternoon stays similar, with a touch more energy (1535).
Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August look like more of the same: 4ft to 5ft, clean conditions, but nothing that’s going to blow your mind. The swell period is a beautiful 15-18 seconds, which is proper groundswell, and for a beach-and-reef setup like Dreamland, that long period can make the waves a bit straight at times, but the energy is there (nearly 1500 to 2300). It’s surfable, but it’s not the standout.
Now, here’s the one to circle. Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning pushes up to 7ft, but the real magic happens in the afternoon. The wind swings to true offshore from the ESE, blowing at 12 mph, and the waves are holding at 7ft with a 16 second period. The energy is strong at 2148, and the conditions are clean and lined up. This is your best window early on. It’s time to punch out of work early.
The swell stays solid through the first week, with size ranging from 6ft to 7ft, but the wind is mostly cross-off, keeping it clean but not perfect. Tuesday the 4th sees a bit of a dip in energy (1254), but still waist-to-chest high.
Then, the big stuff arrives. Thursday the 6th of August jumps up to 8ft – that’s expert territory now. The wind is fresh from the ESE at 19 mph, cross-off, and the energy is massive at 3564 (strong). This is not for the faint of heart. If you’re seasoned, Friday the 7th is even better with the same 8ft size but a true offshore wind from the ESE, gusting 19 mph, making for some of the cleanest, most powerful waves of the whole forecast. The energy is 2615.
The second week (from August 9th onwards) keeps the size up, mostly 6ft to 8ft, with a massive peak on Sunday the 9th afternoon hitting 8ft and 3967 energy. Tuesday the 11th of August sees a change in wind to a gentle cross-shore from the S, with a serious 10ft swell and 18 second period – the energy jumps to 4920 (very strong). That’s a big, powerful ocean, only for experts.
Crowds at Dreamland are “sometimes” a problem, so on those standout days, especially the offshore Sunday and the big Tuesday, expect it to be busy. The long period swells (15-18 seconds) are great for this reef setup, giving you long, clean lines, but the sets will be spaced out, so pick your moment.
Honestly, the best of the best is Sunday the 2nd of August afternoon for the clean offshore conditions and solid 7ft swell, and if you’re an expert, Friday the 7th of August morning for the true offshore wind and heavy 8ft waves.
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.
