The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the way for Dreamland over this sixteen-day run.
Right off the bat, we’ve got some decent energy rolling in. Nothing tiny, nothing crazy – just a solid run of waves that’ll keep things interesting, especially for the more experienced crew. The water temperature is sitting at 80° Fahrenheit, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, no surprises there.
The standout of the whole period is hands down Saturday morning, the 29th of August. We’re looking at a clean 6 ft swell from the SSW, and with that period hanging around 15 seconds, you’re getting proper groundswell. The combined energy is pumping at 1551 – that’s moderate to strong energy, and it’s going to feel powerful out there. Winds are a light 6 mph from the SE, which is cross-offshore, and with clear skies, the surface is going to be glassy. This is the session you want to be in the water for. Keep in mind, at 6 ft with that long period, it’s a bit much for beginners.
The week after that is a mixed bag. Sunday the 31st has a morning that stands out again, with a long 18-second period groundswell at 4 ft from the SSW. The energy is solid at 1367, and the wind is light offshore from the ESE at 12 mph. It’s clean, it’s got shape, and there’ll be long lulls between sets, so paddling out is easier. That’s a good one for the experienced surfer.
Moving into the first week of September, the swell sticks around but the winds start to pick up. Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, is worth a mention: 7 ft of SSW groundswell with that long 18-second period, and the energy is cranking at 2494 – strong stuff. Offshore wind from the ESE at 16 mph will keep the faces clean. This is big wave territory, advanced only. The afternoons get a bit cross-off and windier.
The rest of the first week and into the second week is a steady stream of 5 ft to 7 ft SSW/SW swell, with periods ranging from 13 to 16 seconds. The combined energy stays in the three-digit range, mostly moderate, with a couple of stronger pulses. Winds stay cross-off from the SE or ESE, running between 9 and 16 mph. It’s consistent, but nothing screams “drop everything” – just good, reliable waves for the crew that knows what they’re doing.
One more date to circle: Saturday the 5th of September morning. 6 ft from the SSW, period at 16 seconds, combined energy at 1613. Winds are cross-off, 12 mph. Solid, clean, and a good swell direction that matches the optimum SW. It’s a strong session for experienced surfers.
From the 8th of September onwards, the swell hangs in there, but the conditions are more workmanlike than epic. The energy stays around the 1000-2000 range, with cross-off winds and decent sized swell. Nothing to write home about, but if you’re keen, there’ll be waves.
Overall, the best bets are the first Saturday and Sunday mornings, and that strong Tuesday morning at the start of September. For the rest, it’s a consistent run of solid, clean surf for the experienced surfer. Don’t bother if you’re just starting out – it’s too big and too powerful for that.

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.
