The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Dreamland. The ocean is gonna be active, that’s for sure, with a long run of solid, clean swell, but there’s a catch to it. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is dead average for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.
The first decent surf shows up on the morning of Sunday the 6th. We’re looking at a solid 7ft SSW swell with a very long 17-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is chunky at 2958, and the wind is a cross-off from the SE at 12 mph. The reports are calling it clean, but there’s a note about it being a bit marginal on tide, and the score is only a 3 out of 10. That big period and cross-off wind will make Dreamland’s beach-and-reef setup work, but it’s not a total standout. This pattern of 7ft+ SSW swell and cross-off wind carries right through the first week, with the energy staying high. Look for the mornings of Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th to be the pick of the first week. The swell is 8ft and 7ft, the wind drops to a gentle 9 mph breeze, and the conditions are described as “excellent for experienced surfers.” At 8ft, this is getting into expert territory, not for the beginners.
Now, the real standout window is a bit further out. Monday the 14th of September, the wind swings offshore from the ESE at 12 mph. That’s a game changer. The swell is 7ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and the energy is 1983. This is the cleanest we’ll see it, with a proper offshore wind grooming the face. That’s your best bet for a quality session, no question.
The long-range stuff around the 20th and 21st starts to look promising again, with swell cranking back up to 8ft and 16-second periods, but the wind is cross-off, not full offshore. That’s a little less certain, but the potential is there for some serious size.
Through the whole period, the wind is cross-off, not straight offshore, except for that one Monday morning. And the crowds? Dreamland can get a bit busy sometimes, so be prepared for company, especially on the cleaner days.

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.
