The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's coming up.

First off, the water here is sitting at 80°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.

Alright, looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. The forecast is basically a long stretch of marginal surf, with a lot of cross-off winds and only one real window that gets my heart pumping. The first few days are a bit of a grind.

We start off on Wednesday the 22nd. The swell is around 4ft from the SSW with a 13-second period, giving a moderate energy level (733). The wind is a cross-off from the ESE at 19 mph, which cleans it up, but the scores are low. It's surfable, but nothing to write home about. This same pattern of modest SSW swell and cross-off breeze repeats through the next few days, with the swell dropping to 3ft on Friday the 24th. The energy stays in the moderate range, peaking at 962 on Thursday morning.

Saturday the 26th of July brings a shift. The swell jumps to 8ft early on Sunday, and the direction swings to the SE. The period drops to just 9 seconds, and the energy gets strong at 1890. The wind goes offshore from the ESE at 22 mph, which is a major positive for clean conditions. But this is a short-period windswell, and at 8ft, it's pushing into expert-only territory. It's a lot of bumpy, powerful water. The afternoon session gets messy, scoring a zero.

The next week is more of the same – consistent SSW pulses, but always with that cross-off wind. The swell stays in the 3ft to 6ft range, with energy bouncing between 664 and 1674. It's consistent, just not great quality. The wind is always a fresh breeze, so it's never truly glassy.

Now, the standout. The real highlight is waiting for us on Wednesday, August 5th. The morning session looks like the pick of the whole 16 days. A solid 6ft swell from the SSW, with a long 18-second period, creating a very strong energy level of 3030. That long period means real groundswell, with proper shape and power. The wind is light from the SE at just 9 mph, a gentle breeze that will keep it clean. This is a setup for some excellent waves for experienced surfers. The swell builds to 7ft in the afternoon, still with a 17-second period and strong energy (3238), but the wind picks up a bit to a moderate breeze.

Thursday the 6th is also worth a mention. The morning has a 8ft swell from the SW with a 17-second period and very strong energy (2947), with a light breeze from the SE at 6 mph. That's about as clean as it gets. The waves are big, so this is strictly for the crew with the skills and the board to handle it.

So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off for quality, but the period from Wednesday, August 5th through Thursday, August 6th is the real deal. Dreamland, on the morning of the 5th, is the one to pencil in. The swell direction is SSW, which is pretty much the optimum for this spot, and those long-period lines with light wind will be something special. It will be a bit of a wait, but it could be worth it.

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.
