The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's look at what Dreamland is serving up over the next couple of weeks.

We've got a solid stretch of surf ahead, driven by a consistent SW groundswell with periods mostly between 14 and 19 seconds, so there's real power behind it. The water is a toasty 79°F, right on average for the season, so shorts and a top will do. The combined swell energy is a beast, pushing numbers between 1000 and 5000 – that's a lot of juice in the water.

The action starts on Saturday the 12th with chest-high sets around 5ft. Wind is a moderate cross-offshore from the ESE, keeping things clean enough but not glassy. Through Sunday and Monday the 13th and 14th we get consistent head-high to overhead waves (6ft to 7ft). The energy is heavy, in the 2500 range, but the wind is keeping it from being primo. The reports are calling it "marginal" and that fits.

The first really good window opens Thursday morning, the 17th. The wind goes true offshore from the ESE at 12 mph. That's the ticket for Dreamland. We'll get clean, lined-up sets around 6ft from the SSW with a combined energy of 1650. The call is "excellent surf for experienced surfers." That morning is a proper session.

The true standout, though, is Friday afternoon, the 25th of September. The swell drops to a manageable 6ft, but it's from the SSW with a very long period of 20 seconds – pure groundswell. The wind drops to a light breeze from the SE, and the combined swell energy explodes to 4587. That's an unbelievable amount of power for a 6ft wave. That's going to be grinding and super heavy. Conditions are set for "excellent surf for experienced surfers." Circle that date, it's the best on the charts, but we're talking over a week out so keep a tab on it.

The rest of the run stays busy. The swell builds towards the 23rd and 24th, topping 8ft, but the wind stays cross-off and the quality fades. By the 26th, we're looking at 10ft sets from the SSW with 17-second periods and combined energy over 5000. That's a proper big swell. At that size, Dreamland is a beast and only for the real experienced crew.

Bottom line: Thursday the 17th morning is a solid, clean option. The real one to wait for is Friday the 25th afternoon. That long-period groundswell with light winds is the best combo of the entire forecast.

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.
