The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Dreamland and what’s shaping up over the next couple of weeks.

Water temp is about 80°, which is normal for this time of year. The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s some proper grunt coming through later, so don’t write the whole window off.

We’ve got a slow start from Monday, August 31st. Swell is a solid 6 ft from the SSW, with a long 18-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The energy is pumping at 1892 (moderate), but the wind is a cross-off from the ESE at 25 km/h, which keeps it clean enough. The commentary flags it as marginal, and the scores are low. It’s surfable, but not the day to call in sick for.

Through Tuesday, September 1st, and Wednesday, September 2nd, the swell sticks around 6 ft to 7 ft from the SW, with the period dropping a touch. Winds stay cross-off. Still, the call is marginal. It’s a frustrating stretch – the energy is there (between 1750 and 2523), but the conditions aren’t clicking.

Thursday, September 3rd, and Friday, September 4th, are smaller, dropping to 4 ft to 5 ft. Energy drops off too, down to 658 on Friday morning. The waves are clean but weak. You’d be scratching.

Things fire up again on Saturday, September 5th. Swell jumps back to 6 ft to 7 ft, SSW, with a solid 16-second period. Energy is back up to 1843-1933. Winds are cross-off, so it’s rideable. Still marked as marginal, but it’s a step up.

Sunday, September 6th, is where it gets interesting. The morning sees 8 ft from the SSW, 18 seconds, and energy rockets to 3929. That’s strong wave energy. Even with cross-off winds, that’s a lot of water moving. The afternoon drops a touch but is still chunky. This is a standout window for the first week, but only for experienced surfers – 8 ft is getting into the “too big for beginners” zone.

The real standout comes on Tuesday, September 8th. Morning: 7 ft SSW, 14 seconds, with a light breeze from the SSE at only 10 km/h. Energy is 2673, and the commentary calls it “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” That’s a rare call. Then the afternoon goes nuclear: 8 ft SSW, 18-second period, energy 4354, and a score of 5. That’s the best wave of the whole forecast. The wind is light, the swell is long and powerful, and it’s clean. If you’re an advanced surfer, that Tuesday afternoon session is the one. Just be ready for the crowd – Dreamland can get busy.

Wednesday, September 9th, also holds at 8 ft in the morning, but the wind goes light and cross-shore, creating some ripples. The afternoon cleans up again with a gentle cross-off. Still good for experienced surfers.

The second week (from the 10th to the 15th of September) keeps the swell solid, mostly 7 ft to 8 ft from the SSW. Energy stays high (usually over 2000), and winds are generally cross-off. The standout in the second week is Monday, September 14th, with 8 ft in the morning, 16 seconds, and energy of 3549. Also Tuesday, September 15th, has a clean morning with 7 ft, 15 seconds, and a gentle breeze – that’s a solid 4 rating. But it’s further out, so don’t lock it in just yet.

Overall, the best offer is Tuesday, September 8th, afternoon, with Wednesday, September 9th, afternoon as a close second. The rest of the window has plenty of size, but the wind is often a bit cross-off, keeping it from being perfect. Beginners should stick to the smaller days around the 4th and 5th.

Keep your eye on the horizon, and remember – forecasts can change, but right now, that Tuesday 8th is looking like the one.

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.
