The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Dreamland.
We’re starting with a long stretch of small, clean surf, but nothing exciting for a while. The water is 80°, which is about normal for this time of year. The first real standout doesn’t show up until the morning of Sunday, August 2nd, and then again on Thursday, August 6th.
The pattern begins with a consistent, long-period groundswell from the SSW, but at 3 ft up to 5 ft through the first week, the energy is weak to moderate (swell energy around 732 to 1548). Winds are mainly cross-off from the ESE or SE, fresh to moderate, keeping the surface clean but not glassy. The waves are small and the conditions are marginal, so the first few days are just background noise. The period is a solid 15 to 17 seconds, which is a long wait between sets, and at a beach-and-reef break like Dreamland, that long period can make the waves stand up and break a bit too straight, but it’ll still be rideable for the crew who don’t mind small clean lines.
The real spark comes on Sunday, August 2nd. The morning window sees a jump in size to 7 ft, still from the SSW with a period of 17 seconds, and the wind finally turns to a true offshore from the ESE at 12 mph. The energy is strong (2577). That’s a clean, proper offshore day for experienced surfers only. The swell is just over 5 ft, so it’s getting too big for beginners, and at 7 ft, it’s right in the expert sweet spot. This is the best of the first week.
After that, it drops back to 6 ft to 6 ft through to Wednesday, August 5th, with cross-off winds and still clean, but the energy dips to moderate (1106 to 1686). Then Thursday, August 6th morning delivers another standout. Same setup: 7 ft SSW swell, 17-second period, and offshore winds from the ESE at 16 mph. Energy is strong again (2488). Another excellent day for experienced surfers.
Into the second week, the swell builds bigger. Friday, August 7th sees 8 ft, but the winds go cross-off and fresh, so it’s not as clean. Saturday, August 8th afternoon has a 8 ft SSW swell with a very long 20-second period, and energy is very strong (6009). That’s a massive, powerful groundswell. The long period will mean long lulls and big sets, and at Dreamland, it might break a bit too straight for a beach break, but it’ll be a sight for the heavy crew. Sunday, August 9th pushes 12 ft, with energy over 6600, but those are solid expert-only waves. The wind stays cross-off, so it’s not ideal, but the power is undeniable.
Monday, August 12th rolls in with more 10 ft to 8 ft surf, but it’s all cross-off and moderate breeze. The last highlight is the morning of Tuesday, August 12th, with 10 ft SSW swell, 16 seconds, and moderate energy (4203). Still cross-off though.
Overall, the best of the whole run is the morning of Sunday, August 2nd, and the morning of Thursday, August 6th. Both have offshore wind, clean conditions, and solid 7 ft SSW swell with strong energy. Dreamland will be worth the paddle for experienced surfers on those days. The rest of the time is just small to moderate, clean but not special. Crowds are “sometimes” at Dreamland, so on those standout days, you can expect company.
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.
