The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s run through Dreamland in feet and miles per hour.
Right now we’re seeing consistent surf, but the quality is hanging back. Swell is running 5 to 6ft from the SW, with a very long period of 15-16 seconds, and cross-off wind from the ESE to SE at around 18 mph, keeping the surface clean but not glassy. The combined swell energy is strong, reading 1494 to 1554.
Through the first few days, it’s clean but nothing to write home about. Thursday 17 September morning looks like 6ft from the SSW, 14-second period, 15 mph cross-off wind, and 1554 energy – a solid enough session but not the best of the run.
Friday 18 September morning shows a drop to 5ft from the SSW, still clean with a gentle breeze cross-off, combined energy at 993, and the report calls for very good conditions. That session is worth a paddle.
The first real standout is Sunday 20 September. Swell bumps to 6-7ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, wind light at 9 mph from the SE cross-off, and energy surging to 1852 in the morning and 2080 in the afternoon – strong and clean. That’s the pick of the first week.
Tuesday 22 September morning flips to offshore wind – 9 mph from the ESE – with 5ft SW swell and 13-second period. Energy is 1129, and conditions are very good with gentle offshore and clean. A smaller, cleaner option.
Into the second week, Wednesday 23 September sees 7ft SSW swell with a 16-second period and energy of 2156, cross-off wind. Not perfect but plenty of power.
The biggest standout hits Monday 28 September. Morning sees 8ft from the SSW, a very long 18-second period, and combined energy at a thumping 4835 – that’s very strong wave energy. Wind is just 9 mph from the ESE cross-off. This is big, clean, powerful groundswell. Only for experienced surfers – too big for beginners. Tuesday 29 September morning follows up with 7ft from the SSW, 16-second period, 2541 energy, and this time the wind is offshore from the ESE at 9 mph – gentle offshore and clean. Excellent conditions for the crew who can handle it.
Crowds are possible at Dreamland. SW is the direction this spot likes, and we’re getting plenty of it.
Water temp is about average for the time of year.
Best sessions: Sunday 20 September for a solid, clean day, and Monday 28 September for the biggest, most powerful surf of the whole 16 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.
