The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk Dreamland.
Okay, we’ve got a long stretch of swell coming in starting Monday the 31st of August and going all the way through to the end of the 16 days. Nothing on the day before that, so a blank start. Water temp is sitting at about 80°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, no big deal.
Monday morning (31st August) kicks off with chest-high waves at 4ft from the SSW, and those 18-second intervals mean deep ocean groundswell with some serious grunt (1367 on the energy meter). The cross-off wind from the ESE at 16 mph will keep it clean-ish but a little bumpy. It’s a fairly consistent spot and can get crowded sometimes, so don’t expect a quiet session.
The real standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is Tuesday morning the 1st of September. Solid 7ft from the SSW with that 18-second period, and the wind goes offshore from the ESE at 16 mph. That’s perfect, lined up with the optimum SW direction. The energy meters are reading 2595 – it’s going to be a heavy, well-shaped wave for experts only. Beginners, stay on the beach.
Wednesday the 2nd (morning) is another highlight. 6ft from the SW, 16-second period, and again that offshore ESE breeze at 16 mph. Excellent shape and power, still for the pros. Energy at 1970.
Things drop off Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th, with swell shrinking to around 4–5ft and period dropping. Cross-off wind keeps it rideable, but it’s small and average.
The weekend of the 5th and 6th sees a pickup to 6–7ft from the SSW, but the wind stays cross-off. It’s clean but not as good as that Tuesday/Wednesday window. You’ll get some fun ones.
Fast forward to the 8th of September (Tuesday). Morning has 7ft from the SSW with a light 6 mph breeze – smooth, clean, and powerful. That afternoon the period jumps back to 18 seconds with 3097 energy. That’s a very good bet.
The 9th of September Wednesday morning has a light cross-on wind from the SW at 6 mph, so it might be a little bumpy, but the afternoon cleans up with a cross-off. Swell holds at 7ft. The energy peaks that afternoon at 4377 – a real strong pulse. If it holds, it’ll be pumping.
From the 10th to the 15th, it’s a slow fade with some flare-ups. The 15th Tuesday shows a return to 7ft from the SSW with moderate cross-off winds. Long way out, but the pattern keeps giving.
Bottom line: circle Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd (mornings) for the best windows. Offshore wind, heavy swell, clean conditions. It’s strictly for the advanced crew. Rest of the run is clean but not as perfect, and the crowds will be there. Overall, a solid run for Dreamland.
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.
