The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Dreamland.
The first week isn’t too exciting – mostly so-so conditions with cross-off breezes and moderate swell. The real juice shows up in the last few days of July and the start of August. Water’s sitting at about 80°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Tuesday morning, July 21st, we’ve got a 6ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, but the 25 km/h cross-off ESE wind is messing with the shape. The wave energy is solid (1244), but the wind and a questionable tide tag keep it from being a go-to. This story repeats through the week: swell running 3ft to 4ft, periods mostly 13-17 seconds, but winds hanging around 25-30 km/h from the ESE or SE. The energy drops into the 700-800 range midweek – still okay – but the wind direction keeps the waves from really opening up.
The first shift happens Sunday the 26th. Swell goes to 7ft from the SE, but it’s short-period at 8 seconds. The wind goes offshore early, but it’s a fresh 35 km/h. The energy is moderate (880), and the short period means the waves will be lumpy. Monday the 27th is similar: 7ft SE, 8 seconds, offshore wind, but the energy hits 1028. Still, the short period and strong breeze make it better for kite rigs than paddle boards.
The first real standout is Thursday, July 30th. Clean 4ft SSW swell at 15 seconds, with gentle 15 km/h cross-off ESE winds. The energy is very strong (1527), and the forecast is excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the best of the early run.
Then Friday, July 31st, is a gem. The swell is 3ft from the SSW, but the period goes to 18 seconds. The wind? Glassy. Zero. 0 km/h. The energy is still high (1241). Those long, clean lines are going to be a dream. Best morning of the first week.
From there, early August builds nicely. August 1st has 4-6ft SW swell with a long 16-17 second period, and light cross-shore winds. The energy is massive (1579-1832). The wind is light, so it’s close to perfect. August 2nd is even better: 6ft SW at 16 seconds, with light 10 km/h SE cross-off winds. The energy is huge (1685), and conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. That morning is the real highlight of the whole forecast.
But the big one is Tuesday, August 4th. Swell jumps to 10ft SSW at a very long 19 seconds. The energy is off the charts – 6091 – and the wind is a gentle 15 km/h cross-off from the SE. This is expert-only. That much power, with that long period, will be a freight train on the reef. The afternoon stays at 10ft with 18 seconds and energy at 5538.
Wednesday the 5th holds at 7ft SSW with 17 seconds (3049 energy) and clean cross-off winds, but it’s a step down from the peak.
So in short: the first week is average, with a glassy Friday the 31st as a sleeper. The real standouts are Thursday the 30th for clean, long-period surf, and the back-to-back excellence of Sunday August 2nd and especially Tuesday August 4th.

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.
