The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s cut straight to it. The next couple of weeks at Dreamland are going to be a waiting game. There’s swell on the horizon the whole time, but most of it comes with a “marginal” tag hanging over it—questionable tides and a bit of mess in the water. The standout window looks like the middle of the first week, so don’t expect much before that.
The first real option pops up on Saturday the 5th in the afternoon. It’s clean, with a cross-off breeze from the SSE at 20 km/h, and we’re looking at 7ft of SSW groundswell at 16 seconds. The combined energy is sitting at 2028—moderate but nothing to write home about. The water temp is 79°, which is bang on average for this time of year. Honestly, it’s surfable, but the tide feels questionable, so pick your moment.
Sunday the 6th is more of the same: 7ft in the morning dropping to 5ft by the arvo, still that long-period SSW swell, still cross-off. Energy is up a notch at 2958 in the morning, but the quality call stays marginal. Monday the 7th holds 7ft with a shorter 14-second period, and the energy drops a touch. It’s all clean, but it’s not exciting me yet.
The first real spark comes late Wednesday the 9th. The wind eases to 15 km/h, still cross-off, and the swell is 8ft at 16 seconds. Energy is strong at 2615, and the comment shifts to “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” That’s the one to circle. Thursday the 10th afternoon also gets the nod—7ft at 15-16 seconds, gentle cross-off breeze, and another “excellent” call. For a break like Dreamland, which is a beach and reef mix and fairly consistent, this is about as good as it gets in this run.
After that, things flatten out a bit. Friday the 11th keeps 7ft but the energy drops and the marginal tag returns. The weekend of the 12th-13th fades in size, down to 5ft on Saturday afternoon before bumping back to 7ft by Sunday afternoon. The winds stay cross-off the whole time, but the quality is just meh.
The second week is quieter. From the 14th to the 19th, we’re mostly seeing 5ft-6ft swell, with a few 6ft bumps. The period hangs around 14-16 seconds, but the energy drops into the 1000-1600 range—weak to moderate at best. Nothing screams standout. The wind stays cross-off from the SE or ESE at 15-20 km/h, so it’ll be clean, but the waves will be smaller and less organised.
The 20th brings 7ft back with a 15-second period, energy at 1822, but once again, the call is marginal. It’s a long-range hope, not a sure thing.
Look, if you’re after the pick of the fortnight, it’s Wednesday the 9th afternoon and Thursday the 10th afternoon. Decent size, long-period groundswell, lighter cross-off wind, and the best quality call of the whole run. Just remember, it’s only for experienced surfers at this size—8ft is pushing it for the learning crew. The rest of the window is clean but ordinary, so pick your tides and don’t force it.
Stay stoked.
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.
