The Lowdown

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Dreamland.

Alright, the forecast is a bit of a mixed bag for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a solid run of groundswell on the way, but the wind is mostly going to be blowing cross-off from the southeast, which isn’t ideal for that perfect, groomed face. It’ll keep things kinda clean, but it’s not the glassy offshore we really want.

The real standout window is the first Tuesday of September. On the morning of the 1st of September, we’re looking at a solid 7ft swell from the SW, with a period of 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy of all swells is a strong 2498, so there’s plenty of push. The wind is offshore from the ESE, which is key. That’s going to make for some excellent, clean conditions for experienced surfers. This is the best on offer, no question. The water is sitting at 79°, which is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.

The other moment to really focus on is the weekend of the 6th and 7th of September. Saturday the 6th and Sunday the 7th are both showing 7ft to 7ft swell from the SSW, with a 15-second period. The wind is a gentle breeze from the SSE, still cross-off, but lighter. The combined energy is in the 1883 to 1950 range, so it’s a solid, powerful swell. It’s a bit more manageable than the earlier peak, but still a proper wave for the advanced crew. The consistency is there, and it looks like a nice, clean run of surf.

For the rest of the period, there’s surf, but it’s mostly in the 5ft to 6ft range, with similar cross-off winds. The combined energy dips a bit, and the conditions are described as “marginal,” which means it’s not going to be firing on all cylinders. The first week of September has some nice size, but the wind is a bit stronger at times, making it a bit of a battle.

Because Dreamland is a beach and reef setup, and the swell is a long-period groundswell, it might break a bit straight on the beach sections. The reef parts should handle it better. Also, when the swell gets over 8ft, like on the morning of the 28th of August, it’s strictly for experts only. The crowds are noted as “sometimes,” so you might get a few out there, but it’s not a total zoo.

The first few days of the forecast, from the 24th of August, are there, but the wind is a bit too strong at 16 mph, making it a bit of a fight. The surf is there, but it’s not the standout.

So, to sum it up: the 1st of September morning is the absolute pick, with that offshore wind and big, powerful swell. The 6th and 7th of September are the next best bet, with a clean, solid run of waves. Everything else is for the die-hards who don’t mind a bit of cross-off wind.

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.
