The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Dreamland. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up over the next couple of weeks, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel if you’re patient.

The overall pattern is looking pretty average for a while, with a persistent cross-off breeze from the ESE and SE that’s going to keep things a bit lumpy. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a steamer.

We’re starting off on Monday the 20th of July with a solid 7ft SSW groundswell with a very long 16-second period. That’s got plenty of energy behind it (2321), but the 19 mph cross-off wind is a bit of a buzzkill. The quality is just marginal, and it’s going to be a messy affair. The wind stays on through Tuesday and Wednesday, with the swell slowly dropping. By Wednesday afternoon the 22nd, we’re down to 3ft, and it’s looking pretty poor, honestly.

We hit a real low point around Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th, with weak, messy swells and the same wind. The combined energy drops way down, barely cracking 800. It’s a bit of a write-off for a few days there. Saturday the 25th sees a little bump in energy, with a 4ft SSW swell and a 15-second period, but the wind is still cross-off from the ESE at 19 mph. The numbers are still weak, and the surf is just not there.

The stretch from the 26th of July to the 2nd of August is a real grind. The wind gets stronger, hitting 25 mph on the 26th, and the swell turns into a short-period, wind-affected mess. The energy is moderate, but the quality is poor. It’s the kind of setup that looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, to be honest.

Now, here’s the stand-out window. The best bet on offer is Thursday the 30th of July. There’s a solid 5ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period, and the combined energy is pumping at 1615. The wind goes light offshore from the ESE at 12 mph. That’s going to clean things right up. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, with clean, lined-up waves from the SSW. The crowd situation at Dreamland can be “sometimes” busy, so for a window this good, expect others to have the same idea. It’s a beach and reef set-up, so that long-period groundswell will wrap nicely.

The days leading into the first week of August keep a similar vibe. The 1st of August sees a 5ft to 6ft SW groundswell with a very long 17-second period, but the cross-off wind is back, so it won’t be as clean as that Thursday. The energy is still very strong (1764), but the wind is the limiting factor.

The second week stays pretty consistent with waist-to-chest high waves, but the wind doesn’t play ball as often. The 4th of August has a 4ft SSW swell with an 18-second period and the energy is high (1893), but again, it’s cross-off. The promise is there, but the conditions are a gamble.

Bottom line: If you can get out on Thursday the 30th of July, do it. That’s the one. The rest of the window is a waiting game for the wind to line up with the swell.

Stay stoked.

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.
