The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Look, I've been watching the charts for Dreamland and I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days aren't looking like anything to write home about. The guidance rates this spot as a 2 outta 5, and the forecasts are matching that vibe. Most sessions are tagged as marginal, and scores are low. There's no proper standout session, but let's ride through what's on offer.
Starting Thursday 16 July, we've got clean 5ft SSW groundswell with a period of 15 seconds, but it's cross-off wind at 16 mph. The wave energy's moderate to strong at 1086, but the conditions are just marginal – not worth rushing out. Friday 17 July morning sees a slight improvement: offshore winds from ESE at 19 mph, swell dropping to 4.6ft from the SW, period still 15 seconds, energy up to 1207. That offshore breeze will leave the faces clean, but it's still only marginal. The afternoon switches back to cross-off.
Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 are similar – 4.3-4.6ft SW swell, cross-off winds, moderate energy around 900-1000. Sunday morning has a spot of risk tstorm but still clean. Nothing to get excited about.
Then Monday 20 July brings the biggest pulse: 6.9ft SSW swell with a long 17-second period, and combined energy jumps to 2678 – that's strong wave energy. But it's cross-off wind again at 16 mph, and the forecaster still calls it marginal. That size is pushing into advanced-only territory – over 5ft for beginners, but at 6.9ft it's solid. The long period means it'll be fat and powerful, better on the reef section than the beach. Crowds are sometimes an issue at Dreamland, and with this size they'll be out.
Tuesday 21 July drops back to 5.2-5.6ft SSW, still cross-off, energy around 1300. Wednesday 22 is 3.9-4.3ft. Thursday 23 dips to 3.6ft and the conditions are rated poor – not worth it. Friday 24 stays small.
The next hint of something decent arrives Saturday 25

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.
