The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s look at what’s cookin’ at Dreamland for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, there’s a lot of solid, consistent SW-groundswell on the way—this is a proper run of energy for the advanced crew. Water temp is 79°, right on the money for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The swell kicks in from Saturday morning, September 5th, with a clean 6-ft SSW groundswell carrying a 16-second period. The combined energy is already strong at 1826. Wind is a cross-off SE breeze at 12 mph, so it’ll be clean but with a bit of push. Still, the call is marginal—likely tricky tide or shape issues. That wave height (6 ft to 7 ft) is already in the “too big for beginners” zone, and by Monday morning, September 7th, we’re seeing 7-ft SSW swell with 14-second period and energy at 1844. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, so that long-period groundswell might make it break a bit straight at times—but it’s still powerful.
The real standout window opens up Wednesday afternoon, September 9th. The swell hits 8 ft from the SSW, period 16 seconds, combined energy of 2615—that’s a lot of juice. Wind drops to a gentle 9 mph from the south, still cross-off, and the surf is described as “excellent for experienced surfers.” This is the pick of the first week for anyone who knows what they’re doing. If you’re a beginner, it’s way too big.
Through the rest of the first week and into the second, it’s persistent—swell holds between 5 ft and 8 ft, mostly SSW, with energy often sitting between 2000 and 3000. There’s a bit of a lull around Saturday, September 12th when the swell drops to 5 ft–5 ft and the direction shifts slightly to SW—still clean but less grunt.
Then on Sunday morning, September 13th, it cranks back up: 7-ft SW groundswell, 18-second period, energy of 2867. That kind of period at Dreamland can make for some long, lined-up walls when the tide’s right, but might also close out on the beach sections.
Keep an eye on Tuesday morning, September 15th—wind turns offshore from the ESE at 12 mph, swell 5 ft SW at 15 seconds. It’s not the biggest, but that offshore wind and clean conditions make it a solid dawny option. Still, it’s a moderate breeze, so not glassy.
After that, the energy stays in the game through the rest of the run—September 16th brings 8-ft to 8-ft SSW swell with 16-second period and energy over 2700. This is heavy, expert-only territory with crowds possible at a spot that’s sometimes busy.
Bottom line: Dreamland is pumping for the next 16 days, but it’s mostly for the advanced crew. If you’re charging, the Wednesday September 9th afternoon and the Sunday morning September 13th are the standout windows—big, long-period groundswell, clean enough, and plenty of power. Beginners should sit this one out.
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.
