The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break this down for the imperial crew.
We’re looking at a solid run at Dreamland. This beach and reef break is going to have consistent swell for the next couple of weeks. Water temp is around 79°, which is right where it should be for this time of year.
Saturday the 5th of September, we’ve got a SSW swell at about 6ft, with a 16-second period. That’s a lot of energy pumping – about 1826 on the energy scale. The wind is cross-offshore from the SE, 12 mph. It’ll keep things clean, but the guide says it’s marginal due to tide, so watch that.
Sunday the 6th, the swell stays in the 7ft range, 17-second period, even more energy at 2844. Same wind. Big, powerful groundswell.
The pattern holds through the week. Monday the 7th, 7ft, 14 seconds. Tuesday the 8th, 6ft but with a 19-second period and 3320 of energy – that is a serious groundswell. Over 8ft for the big sets, definitely for the experts only.
Now, Thursday the 10th of September. The afternoon session is the highlight. Swell at 7ft from the SSW, 16 seconds, energy at 2372. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore, and the wave state is clean. The guide calls it “excellent for experienced surfers.” That’s your standout window. Not for the groms, but if you’ve got the skills, that’s the session to aim for.
The rest of the period is more of the same: solid SW and SSW swell, cross-offshore winds. The crowds can be a factor at Dreamland, so expect company.
Around Sunday the 20th of September, we get an offshore wind morning (ESE, 16 mph), with a 6ft SW swell and 15-second period. The guide says it’s excellent for experienced surfers again. That’s a good long-range bet, but don’t book your trip around it yet.
Bottom line: there’s always swell at Dreamland. The standout is Thursday afternoon the 10th. For the bigger days, you need to be solid. For the slightly smaller swell on the 12th (5ft), it’ll be more manageable but the wind won’t be as clean. Stay on your toes.
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.
