The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and we’ve got a solid run of swell on the way for Dreamland. This is a beach and reef setup that’s fairly exposed to the swell, and it’s looking like a consistent period ahead with a fair bit of size. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
The first decent surf kicks off Saturday, August 1st. We’re looking at a 5ft SSW swell with a long 16-second period, and the combined energy is a strong 1695. The wind is a moderate cross-off from the ESE, so the waves are clean. It’s a bit on the bigger side for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s good. Saturday afternoon steps it up a notch – 6ft SSW, 18-second period, and the energy jumps to 2392, with offshore winds. That’s a standout session for the early part of the week, clean and powerful.
Sunday the 2nd holds 7ft SSW swell, periods around 16-17 seconds, and energy in the 2100-2200 range. The wind stays cross-off, so it’s clean, but the quality is a bit more marginal – probably a bit of tide working against it. Monday the 3rd sees a slight drop to 6ft, but the wind is gentler in the morning, giving you a cleaner wave. The energy is still solid at 1467.
Tuesday the 4th, Wednesday the 5th, and Thursday the 6th keep things ticking over with 5ft to 7ft SSW swell, mostly cross-off winds. On Thursday the 6th, the morning has a fresh offshore breeze from the ESE, and the swell is 7ft with a 17-second period and energy at 2581 – that’s a punchy, clean morning for experienced surfers.
Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th push up to 8ft SSW swell, with energy hitting 4000 and 3900. That’s serious size – only for experts. The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but the power is enormous. The period is 16-17 seconds, so these are long-period groundswells that will be better on the reef sections than the beach, as they can tend to close out a bit.
Sunday the 9th drops to 7-7ft, still cross-off, and Monday the 10th has a 8ft morning with gentle cross-off winds – a nice, clean window for the more experienced.
Now, the real standout comes on Tuesday, August 11th. The morning sees an 12ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 6518. That’s a very strong, powerful swell. The wind is a moderate cross-off from the SSE. In the afternoon, it drops to 10ft but still 17-second period and energy of 5586, with gentle cross-off winds. This is a big, clean, powerful day – best left to the experts, but if you’re up for it, the reef will be lighting up.
Wednesday the 12th holds 8ft in the morning with light cross-off winds, and the energy is still 2958 – a good, clean day for the experienced.
The swell fades into Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th, with 4ft to 6ft, but here’s a twist: on Friday the 14th, the swell period jumps to 20-21 seconds, with light winds. That’s a very long-period groundswell, and the energy is 2417-3200. It’s not huge, 5-6ft, but the long period will make it super clean and lined up on the reef. A great option for those who can read the sets.
The weekend of the 15th and 16th of August brings back some size, with 7ft to 8ft SSW swell, periods around 16-18 seconds, and energy in the 2500-3400 range. Winds are mostly cross-off, but Sunday the 16th morning has a gentle offshore from the ESE, making it exceptionally clean.
Overall, the best on offer is Tuesday, August 11th for the sheer power and size, and Friday, August 14th for the super-long period, clean lines. Crowds are a possibility at Dreamland, so get there early. No serious gaps in the surf – it’s a solid two-week run.

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.
