The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s shaping up for Dreamland over the next couple of weeks.

First thing to note: the water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing crazy there.

The pattern for the first week is a bit of a slow burn. Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are going to be pretty average. You’re looking at a 4ft to 6ft SSW swell, but it’s coming in with a cross-off ESE wind around 15 mph. The wave energy is moderate to strong (839 to 1892), but the conditions are just marginal. It’s not terrible, but it’s not lighting any fires.

Tuesday the 1st of September is the real standout in the first half of the outlook. The morning session is where it’s at. Offshore wind from the ESE at 15 mph is blowing straight into the face of a 6ft SW swell, with a very long 18-second period. That’s groundswell, and it’s packing a punch with a combined energy of 2320. This is for experienced surfers only – the size is pushing into the 7ft range, and the long period will make it suck out deep and wall up. The setup here is a beach and reef, so that long period (over 15 seconds) can make it a bit tricky – it might break a little too straight on the sand, but the reef section should handle it. Expect some powerful, clean lines. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so get there early.

After that, Wednesday through Saturday (2nd to 5th September) settles into a more consistent but less exciting pattern. The swell stays in the 4ft to 6ft range, still SSW/SW, but the wind stays cross-off (ESE/SE, 12-15 mph) and the energy dips. It’s a solid run of clean, surfable waves, but nothing will blow your mind. The energy is moderate to strong (662 to 2458), but the scores are low. It’s a good week for a cruise, not a charge.

The second week (from Sunday the 6th) looks like it has some serious potential but it’s more of a long-range promise. The swell picks up again, with a 7ft to 8ft SSW swell almost every day. The wind stays mostly cross-off from the SE or SSE, lighter at times (9 mph). The combined energy gets very strong, hitting 5348 on the afternoon of Tuesday the 8th. That’s a big pulse. The 18-second period on that Tuesday afternoon makes it another groundswell window. But again, this is for experts only – 8ft is the top end of the comfort zone. The best window might be the morning of Thursday the 10th, with a light SSE breeze (6 mph) and a 6ft SSW swell (16-second period, energy 1894) – that’s the cleanest forecast in the whole run. The last few days (11th to 14th) keep the size up (7ft to 8ft), but the wind stays cross-off, so it’s powerful but still a bit raw.

The absolute best on offer is Tuesday morning the 1st of September. That offshore wind, solid 6ft groundswell, and clean conditions make it the pick of the trip. The second best is the morning of Thursday the 10th – lighter wind, still a solid 6ft swell, and excellent conditions for experienced surfers. Everything else is a solid “good, not great” for the size and consistency.

Rusty out.

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.
