The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m not gonna lie to you – this 16-day stretch at Dreamland is a proper mixed bag, but there’s some serious, proper-juicy swell coming through. The water’s sitting at a toasty 79.5°, which is about average for this time of year, so no shocks there. We’ve got a long run of solid SSW groundswell rollin’ in, but the wind’s gonna be the story. Almost every session is cross-off from the SE, which keeps the surface clean but isn’t that true offshore perfection we’d chase. Still, clean surf is clean surf.

It starts off on Wednesday 5th August afternoon with a 5.2 ft SW swell, period 15 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The combined wave energy is strong at 1703 (moderate-strong energy). The cross-off SE breeze at 12 mph means it’s clean enough, but it’s only a 3 out of 10 kind of session. Not a standout, just a warm-up.

Thursday 6th August morning is the real spark. We get a bump to 6.9 ft SSW, period 17 seconds, and for the only time in this whole period, the wind goes proper offshore from the ESE at 19 mph. That’s fresh offshore and clean as a whistle. Wave energy jumps to 2581 (strong). If you're an advanced surfer, this morning window is the best early call – it’s the cleanest it’ll get for a while.

Friday 7th and Saturday 8th August push up to 8.2 ft and 7.5 ft, period around 16 seconds, but the wind swings back to cross-off. Energy stays strong (3343 on Friday morning, 2999 Saturday morning). Still solid, but not as glassy. A bit of rain showers around too, but nothing to ruin the session.

Then we hit a lull on Sunday 9th and Monday 10th August morning – still 6.9 ft, still cross-off, energy dropping to 2257. Honestly, nothing to get amped about.

But hold onto your board. Monday 10th August afternoon explodes. 9.8 ft SSW, 19-second period – this is very long period groundswell. Combined energy rockets to 6926 (very strong). That’s a big, powerful, straight-hitting swell. For a beach-and-reef like Dreamland, that long period can make it break a bit too quick and wall up, but for experts? This is the standout of the first week. The wind is cross-off at 12 mph, so not perfect, but the raw power is undeniable.

Tuesday 11th August stays big at 9.8 ft, energy still in the 4500-5500 range (strong). Thursday 13th August afternoon firms up again at 9.8 ft, energy 4950, and the wind drops to a gentle 9 mph cross-off – much lighter, glassier. That’s a good one.

Friday 14th August morning drops slightly to 8.2 ft, 16 seconds, but the wind is the lightest yet – 9 mph from SE, cross-off. Energy is 3266 (strong). For the first time, the guidance calls the conditions “excellent for experienced surfers.” That’s the call. 8.2 ft is still solid, over the beginner threshold, but for anyone with a bit of time in the water, it’s a gem.

The second week rolls in with a bit more size. Saturday 15th August is 8.2 ft, 18 seconds, energy 4709 (strong). Cross-off wind again. By Sunday 16th, it’s back to 7.5 ft, energy 2948 – still clean, but nothing new.

Then Monday 17th August morning has the wind shift back to offshore – ESE at 19 mph, fresh offshore and clean. The swell drops to 6.2 ft, 15 seconds, energy 1607. It’s smaller but glassy – a nice, clean option for those who want a break from the big stuff.

The real firecracker in the second week lands on Tuesday 18th August afternoon. 11.5 ft SSW, 18 seconds, and combined energy hits a massive 7188 (very strong). That’s the biggest number of the whole run. Cross-off wind at 12 mph keeps it clean, but this is proper, heavy groundswell. Only for experts. It’s 18 days out, so keep an eye on it – promising but less certain.

Wednesday 19th and Thursday 20th August hold at 9.8 ft, energy still in the 4000-6000 range (strong). Cross-off all the way. Solid, powerful, but the wind never gives us that pure offshore magic for the biggest days.

The standout session? Thursday 6th August morning – 6.9 ft, 17-second groundswell with a fresh offshore ESE wind. Clean, powerful, and the only true offshore window in the first week.
The big one to watch: Tuesday 18th August afternoon – 11.5 ft, 18 seconds, energy 7188. If the wind holds, that’s a proper

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.
