The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be honest, the next couple of weeks are a mixed bag. There’s swell the whole time, but it’s often accompanied by a bit of a cross-off breeze and questionable tide conditions. We’ve got a solid run of SSW groundswell, but it’s not all going to be classic. The standout windows are few and far between, so you’ve got to pick your moments.

The first few days, from Thursday the 6th through Sunday the 9th, are workable but nothing special. We’re looking at clean, 7ft to 8ft surf from the SSW, with a 16-second period. The energy is moderate, reading between 2172 and 3335. The wind is a persistent SE to ESE cross-off at 12-16 mph, which keeps the surface reasonably clean but not glassy. It’s surfable, but the wave comment keeps saying “marginal,” so don’t expect perfection. The water temp is 79°, which is right on average for this time of year.

Then we get our first real highlight. Monday morning, August 10th, things line up. The swell drops slightly to 6ft from the SSW, but the period jumps to 19 seconds, and the energy jumps to 4023. The wind eases to a gentle 9 mph SE breeze. The comment says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” This is the one to get out for early. That long period groundswell will be lining up nicely at Dreamland (a beach and reef setup), but keep in mind it’s only for the experienced crew. The place is fairly consistent, though, and with that long period, it might be breaking a bit straight at the beach, but the reef sections should handle it.

Monday afternoon things get bigger but messier. The swell jumps to 10ft, which is now in the expert zone, and the energy jumps to 5686, which is strong. The wind picks up to a 12 mph SSE cross-off. The comment goes back to “marginal.” That’s a lot of juice, but the conditions might not be there to make it truly epic. Tuesday the 11th holds similar size and energy in the 4500-4900 range, with the same cross-off wind. It’s powerful, but it’s going to be a handful.

Wednesday the 12th sees the swell back down to 7-8ft, with the energy dropping to around 2549-4080. Still clean surf, but the magic of Monday morning is gone. Thursday the 13th is another big one, with the swell jumping to 12ft and the energy reading a massive 6336-6560. That’s very strong energy. Again, this is strictly for experts; the wind is a cross-off, and the comments are marginal. If you’re a solid surfer, this could be a big day, but you need to know what you’re doing.

The following week, from the 14th to the 18th, sees things settle down a bit. We’re looking at 5ft to 8ft of SSW swell, with periods dropping to 15-16 seconds. The energy readings are lower, ranging from 1153 to 3111, which is weak to moderate. The wind stays mostly cross-off. There’s no standout here, just average, workable surf.

Now, hold on. The second highlight arrives Wednesday the 19th. The morning shows 8ft at an 18-second period with a gentle 9 mph SE breeze and energy at 5025. The comment says “excellent” again. Then Wednesday afternoon it gets even better: the swell bumps up to 10ft, the wind drops to a light 6 mph SSE, and the energy is still strong at 4880. Another “excellent” comment. This looks like a fantastic window, but it’s more than a week out, so I’d call it promising, not certain. Still, if that forecast holds, it’s going to be well worth the wait.

The final days, Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st, keep solid 8ft to 10ft surf on the cards, but with more cross-off wind and the marginal tag. More big, powerful waves for the experts, but not the same clean potential as the 19th.

So, the standout is clear: Monday morning, August 10th, for the long-period, clean conditions. And keep a close eye on Wednesday, August 19th, as the back-up highlight, but that one’s less certain this far out. Overall, the energy is present throughout, but you’re going to have to sift through a lot of average to get to the good stuff.

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.
