The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Dreamland. It’s a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed to the swell, and it’s a fairly consistent spot. The water is sitting at 80°F, which is about average for this time of year.
Right now, we’re looking at a bit of a slow start. The first couple of days are a bit of a write-off. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th have some swell but the conditions are marginal, with a moderate to fresh breeze knocking things around. Don’t get too excited about those.
Monday the 27th is a bit of a no-go for paddling. We’ve got a strong offshore wind that’s cleaning up the faces, but the swell period is short (8 seconds) and the energy is weak, so it’s not going to be great for holding a line. Might be more interesting for the kite crowd.
We’ve got a long gap of nothing really worth paddling out for until the end of the first week. The swell sticks around, but it’s mostly cross-off wind and the energy is moderate. Hold tight.
Now, the real standout starts to build from Sunday the 2nd of August. That afternoon, we’ve got a 7ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, which is a proper long-period groundswell. The wave energy is strong, and we’ve got a moderate offshore wind from the ESE. This is the pick of the bunch for experienced surfers – the long period means it’ll be better shaped at this reef setup, but it might be a bit too straight for the beach section. It’s a solid choice, and the wind is clean.
The following Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th keep the goods coming. Monday is another day of 6ft SSW swell, decent period, and offshore winds. That’s a consistent run of quality.
Looking further out, the second week starts to get a bit more promising. The swell builds again, and by Friday the 7th of August, we’re looking at an 8ft SSW swell with a 17-second period and strong energy. That’s expert territory. The cross-off wind is lighter, but it’s a powerful, long-period swell. It’s a promising long-range call, but not as certain as the early August window.
The Saturday the 8th still has that 8ft, but the period drops a bit, and the wind is still cross-off. It’s still a solid option for the brave.
So, the best on offer is the Sunday the 2nd through Monday the 3rd of August. That’s where the swell, period, and offshore wind line up for the cleanest, most powerful waves. If you can only pick one day, aim for the 2nd.
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.
