The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it.
Alright, so we're looking at a stretch that's got some real promise, but you've got to be patient. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, but hold tight because the second week is where the real magic is lining up.
We're starting out at Dreamland, a beach and reef setup. On Monday the 27th, there's a bit of swell in the water, around 7ft from the SE, but it's messy with a fresh cross-off breeze. The water's sitting at a pretty normal 80°, nothing unusual there. It's not worth paddling out for. Tuesday the 28th through to the end of July is all small, with waves around 3ft to 5ft from the SSW. The wind stays cross-off and breezy, and the forecast keeps calling it marginal. The combined energy is moderate (around 596 to 1553), but the quality just isn't there. You'll be fighting the tide and wind, so save your energy.
Now, into the first week of August, things start to build. Saturday the 1st has a bit more size, 6ft in the afternoon, and the energy is climbing (2311). By Sunday the 2nd, we're seeing 8ft SSW swell at 17 seconds, with moderate wave energy (3059). That's a long period groundswell, which is going to put some proper shape into the reef. The wind is a steady cross-off breeze, keeping things clean. This is a decent option for the more experienced crew, as it's over 5ft. The crowds are described as "sometimes" here, so you might see a few others out.
The real standout, though, is shaping up for the second week. Monday the 10th of August has a morning session with 8ft SSW swell, a 16-second period, and the wind is finally turning offshore from the ESE (16 mph). The forecast calls it excellent for experienced surfers. The combined energy is a solid 3152, and the conditions are clean with a moderate offshore breeze. That's the pick of the bunch. The swell is over 8ft, so this is expert territory only. The following days, the 8th and 9th of August, also look strong with 10ft SSW swell, but the wind is cross-off, not offshore, so the 10th morning has the edge for pure quality.
The long-range standouts on the 8th and 9th (10ft SSW at 19-18 seconds) are pumping with very strong energy (6888 and 6298), but that's a lot of water moving. It's going to be heavy and powerful, best left for the big-wave chargers.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a slow burner. The best bet is to circle the morning of Monday the 10th of August. That offshore breeze and solid SSW groundswell should make Dreamland a proper gem. The 8th and 9th are also huge, but it'll be a bit more of a battle with the cross-off wind.
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.
