The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, with a long look at Dreamland.

Alright, we’ve got a solid run of clean waves on the cards, but it’s not all going to be epic. We’re staring down a long stretch of decent to good looking swell from the 13th right through to the 28th of September, so plenty to work with if you can pick your windows.

The first few days, from the 13th to the 18th, we’ve got a powerful SW groundswell pushing in – the combined energy is massive, we’re talking 2512 up to 2561 (early on the 13th). Swell heights are sitting between 5ft and 7ft, with a wonderfully long period of 15 to 18 seconds. That long period means proper groundswell, groomed and lined up with heaps of energy, but it can make a beach break a bit tricky – Dreamland is a beach and reef setup, so the reef points might just handle it best. The cross-off winds, SE to ESE, will keep the surface clean, and water temp is a comfortable 79°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The catch is, the rating’s only a 2 or 3 out of 10 for most of it – the shape isn’t quite there, or the tide might not be doing us favours. For an experienced surfer, there will be some solid, clean 6ft sets rolling in, but it’s not the standout.

The energy dips a little mid-week (18th and 19th) dropping into the 900s, with swell heights around 4ft to 4ft. Still clean, but a bit weaker.

Now, keep your eye on the 23rd of September. The swell starts to build again properly. By Thursday the 24th morning, we’ve got a 7ft SW swell bumping up to 7ft in the afternoon, period stretching out to 17 seconds, and the combined energy goes ballistic to 3510. That’s a serious push of water, only for experienced surfers. Winds are a light to gentle breeze from the SE to ESE, so glassy to clean. That Thursday morning is described as excellent for experienced surfers – the best of the whole run. The crowd factor at Dreamland is listed as “sometimes” busy, so with waves this good, expect a few others out there.

The 26th and 27th of September also shape up well. On Saturday the 26th, we’ve got a SE 6 mph breeze (light breeze) on a 7ft SSW swell, period 16 seconds, energy at 2266. That’s clean, strong, and should have some proper grunt. Both the 26th and the 27th mornings are rated as excellent for experienced surfers. The winds get a little more cross-shore on the 25th afternoon, but still manageable.

The real one-two punch is the 24th morning and the 26th morning – those are the standouts. Big, long-period SSW groundswell and gentle offshore winds. Don’t miss it if you’ve got the skills.

That’s the long haul from Dreamland. Keep it salty.

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.
