Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dreamland over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the local surf.
Right off the bat, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag for Dreamland. The overall pattern is consistent swell, but it’s mostly delivering a "marginal" quality, especially with the wind being in a persistent cross-off direction. The real standout window is a long way out, so we’ve got to be patient. The water temp is sitting around 81°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real call to action is on Sunday morning, July 12th. We’ve got a clean 3ft SW groundswell with a solid 13-second period, and it’s glassy with offshore ESE wind. The combined energy is moderate at 598. This is a lovely, clean start for the more advanced crew. Dreamland is a beach-and-reef setup, so a long-period swell like this is a treat – it’ll wrap in nicely, offering good shape and longer lulls between sets. Crowds are possible, as it’s a "sometimes" spot.
The rest of the first week and into the second is a bit of a waiting game. The swell bumps up, but the wind stays cross-off or cross-offshore, and the quality just isn't there. We’ve got a few days with 5ft to 7ft SSW swell, but the energy is getting high (up to 2776) and the calls are all marginal. The 14th to the 18th of July is a flat run of nothing special – you’d be fighting the wind for a sloppy wave.
Now, looking ahead, the real buzz starts building around Monday, July 20th. The morning shows a solid 8ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a massive 3571. The wind is still cross-off, but it’s clean. At 8ft, this is getting into the expert-only zone. The afternoon looks similar at 8ft and 3305 energy. It’s a very powerful, straight-sailing reef/point-style wave which is exactly what Dreamland wants. This is the best on offer – a true standout for the big-wave chargers.
After that, we get a taste of the same on Saturday, July 25th, with another 8ft SSW swell, energy hitting 4091, and a 16-second period. That’s a huge, powerful swell. It’s the other standout, but it’s a long way off. The forecast confidence is lower for this one, but if it lines up, it could be the session of the month. The 26th and 27th hold size, but the wind gets a bit fresh, so it’s not as clean.
So, bottom line: the first week is a quiet, clean start, but the real fire is two weeks out. The standout days are the 20th of July and the 25th of July. If you’re an expert, mark those dates.
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.
