The Lowdown
Righto, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the 16-day stretch for Dreamland.
We're looking at a drawn-out period of solid swell, but the conditions are going to test your patience for a while. The first week is a write-off for decent surf, with onshore winds messing up what could be decent waves. The standout window kicks off around Saturday, August 1st.
Things start to get interesting on the morning of Saturday, August 1st. We've got a 5-foot SSW groundswell (period of 16 seconds) wrapping in with a gentle offshore wind from the ESE. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year. This is the clear winner – the offshore breeze will keep those waves glassy and clean, making for proper waves. The swell energy is moderate (1483). This is a good size for experienced surfers; at 5 feet it's pushing the limit for beginners.
During the afternoon of the 1st, the wind swings cross-off and the swell bumps up to 6 feet but the quality drops off. The following Sunday (August 2nd) and Monday (August 3rd) keep pumping solid SSW swell around 7 to 7 feet (moderate to strong energy, 2793-1629), but again, it's cross-off winds, so not as clean as Saturday morning. The period stays long, between 15 and 17 seconds, which will give those long lines at a point break, but here at a beach and reef setup, it can get a bit straight.
Into the second week, expect a long run of consistent, waist-to-head-high swell but with persistent cross-off winds. The energy stays strong with readings well over 1000, often above 2000 or even 3000 on the 6th and 10th, but there's never a true offshore window to really make it epic. The swell direction holds firmly from the SSW, which matches what this spot wants to see.
So overall, the absolute best bet is this coming Saturday morning, August 1st. The rest of the period is one for the keen locals who don't mind some chop. The constant moderate breeze will keep it bumpy, so don't expect perfection, but there will always be a wave to pull into.
Go well,
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.
