The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s coming for Dreamland.

Alright, so the next couple of weeks are pretty much all Dreamland, and honestly, it’s a mixed bag. The surf’s not going to be pumping every single day, but there are a few windows that look seriously good, especially for experienced surfers who know how to handle a bit of size. The water’s sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit.

The first few days, from Wednesday the 2nd of September through to Saturday the 5th, we’re looking at clean conditions but the swell’s a bit average. The mornings are your best bet with a moderate offshore wind from the ESE, keeping things tidy. Swell sizes are around the 5 ft to 6 ft mark, coming from the SW and SSW with a long period of 14-16 seconds. The combined energy's moderate (1970 on Wednesday morning) but it's all rated as marginal, so it’s more of a warm-up.

Things start to get a bit more interesting from Sunday the 6th. The swell builds, and on the 8th of September, Tuesday afternoon, we see a jump to 10 ft (6505 combined energy) from the SSW with an 18-second period. That’s big, solid groundswell. With a gentle breeze cross-off, it will be clean, but at 10 ft, this is for experts only. The long period (18 seconds) also means it might be a bit straight at the beach, but here at Dreamland, a beach-and-reef setup, it should still offer some good lines if you’re experienced.

The real standout, the one that gets me excited, is Wednesday the 9th of September. The morning session comes in at 7 ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, and it’s got that ‘excellent’ tag. The winds are light from the SSE, making for a glassy morning (2582 combined energy, strong). Crowds are ‘sometimes’ a thing here, so you might have to share, but it’s worth it. Thursday the 10th morning also looks magic – 6 ft SSW swell (1686) with a light 10 km/h SSE breeze. That’s about as good as it gets for a clean, powerful session when it’s not too gnarly.

After that, there’s a bit of a lull, but then Sunday the 13th fires up again with a 10 ft SSW swell (4951), and the 16th of September brings another 8 ft SSW swell (3192). Both of those are expert territory again. The second week is a bit of a repeating pattern: solid SSW pulses, clean winds, but always with that cross-off breeze, never full glassy.

Overall, if you’re an experienced surfer, circle Wednesday the 9th (morning) and Thursday the 10th (morning) as your primo days. That's where the quality meets the consistency. The bigger days on the 8th, 13th, and 16th are for the brave. Keep an eye on the tide – the notes mention questionable tide conditions on some days, so time your paddle.

Stay safe out there.

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.
