The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wettie, let's have a look at what's coming our way over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, listen up. The next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag here, but there’s some proper grunt showing up if you’re patient. The water’s sitting at a warm 80°, which is pretty spot on for this time of year, so you won’t be needing the 4/3 just yet.
We’ve got a long run of consistent, solid groundswell coming in from the SSW and SW, but the wind is locked in from the SE and ESE pretty much the whole time. That means it’s cross-off at Dreamland, which keeps the face reasonably clean, but it’s not that perfect offshore glass we all dream about.
The first week kicks off on Tuesday, September 1st, with a solid 7 ft SW swell rolling in with a very long 17-second period, carrying a strong 2269 (moderate to strong energy). It’s surfable, but the cross-off breeze at 16 mph means it’s not gonna be a classic. This swell hangs around through Wednesday and Thursday, dropping from 6 ft down to 5 ft, but the period stays long. Honestly, for the first few days, the scores are just okay – it’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Friday through Sunday, September 4th-6th, the swell dips a bit, dropping to 4 ft on Friday morning before a new pulse of SSW swell pushes back in. By Saturday morning we’re back up to 6 ft, and by Sunday morning we hit 7 ft from the SSW. The energy is ramping back up (1837 to 2478). This is where it starts to get a little more interesting, but it’s still a bit marginal.
Now, the standout window looks to be around Thursday, September 10th. That Thursday morning session is the real gem. We’ve got a clean 7 ft SSW swell, a 17-second period, and the wind drops right back to a gentle 9 mph from the SSE. That’s the best combo we see in the whole run. The energy is a solid 2519, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. Dreamland is a beach and reef setup, and that long-period groundswell will be offering up some proper, powerful lines. It’s going to be a bit jacking, so you’ll want your wits about you and a board with some paddle power. Crowds can be a thing here sometimes, so you might want to get your skates on.
The swell hangs in through Friday and Saturday, but the wind picks back up to 16 mph, so it’s not going to be as clean.
Then there’s a bit of a lull early in the second week, with the swell dropping to around 3 ft on Sunday, September 13th, before a new pulse starts to build. The real late blast shows up on Wednesday, September 16th. The afternoon sees an 8 ft SSW swell with a massive 19-second period. That’s a long-range, powerful groundswell, and the combined energy hits a huge 5405 (very strong). This is proper, heavy water. Anything over 8 ft like that, you’re looking at an expert-only zone at Dreamland. It’s going to be big, raw, and a bit unruly, especially with still a cross-off breeze. Definitely one for the big-wave crew only.
Overall, if you’ve got one session to chase, make it the morning of Thursday, September 10th. That’s the cleanest, most powerful, and most manageable day. The very end of the run on the 16th is a beast, but you better know what you’re doing.
Stay stoked,
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.
