The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming our way over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burner, so let’s get into it.
The first proper action kicks off on Saturday, 22 August. Dreamland is a beach and reef setup, and it’s fairly consistent, which is good news. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary there.
That Saturday morning is the clear standout of the whole run. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the SSW with a long 16-second period. That means proper groundswell energy, and with the combined energy sitting at 2415, there’s plenty of push behind it. What really makes it special is the wind: a clean 15 mph easterly blowing straight offshore. That’s going to put a real lip on ‘em. This is advanced territory though—over 5ft and pushing 8ft, so it’s not for the groms. For the experienced crew, this is the session to circle.
Saturday afternoon drops off a little, still 7ft and clean, but the wind goes cross-offshore so it’s not quite as perfect. Sunday the 23rd through to the end of the month stays pretty consistent in the 5ft to 6ft range, but the wind stays cross-off. It’ll be surfable and clean, but nothing that’ll make you skip work. The energy drops too, swinging between 917 and 2256, so there’s some decent juice but the quality flags are low.
Then into the first week of September, things get interesting again. On Tuesday, 1 September, we see a big jump in period. The morning has a 4ft swell from the SW with a 20-second period—that’s very long period groundswell. The combined energy is 2361. But with 18 mph cross-off winds, it’s a bit messy. The afternoon picks up to 7ft with a 19-second period and energy at 3161, but again the wind is cross-off. This kind of long period swell at a beach and reef break can be a bit straight, but there’ll be some sets.
The best of the second week is shaping up for Saturday, 5 September. The morning shows 5ft from the SW with a 13-second period, light 9 mph winds, and the energy is moderate at 892. The notes say “expect very good surf conditions,” so that one’s promising but less certain this far out.
For the rest of the run, we’re looking at 5ft to 5ft swell, clean with gentle to moderate cross-off winds, but nothing that screams epic. The consistency and conditions are better than the first week, just a bit smaller.
Keep your eyes on Saturday 22 August morning for the best waves, and maybe Saturday 5 September morning for a quieter, cleaner session. Expect crowds at Dreamland sometimes, so get in early.
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.
