The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf lined up at Dreamland, a beach and reef set-up that’s fairly exposed to the swell. The water’s sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
The first real action hits Monday morning, August 3rd. Swell comes in at 6ft from the SSW with a period of 15 seconds – that’s a nice groundswell with good energy behind it. The combined swell energy’s pushing 1465, so moderate to strong. Wind’s a light cross-off from the SE at 9 mph, keeping things clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but that 6ft and long period means it’s not a beginner wave. The break’s fairly consistent, and crowds are possible here. The direction’s right on the money with the optimum SW.
Monday afternoon sees it drop a touch to 5ft, with offshore wind from the ESE at 16 mph – glassy offshore conditions, so the afternoon session looks clean and fun.
Tuesday morning, August 4th, still 5ft SSW, 14 seconds, but the wind’s a bit cross-off. The forecast flags marginal conditions, so not the pick of the week. Swell energy’s still strong at 1302. Tuesday afternoon bumps back up to 6ft, same direction, but again, marginal.
Wednesday holds 5-5ft SSW swells, periods around 15 seconds, with cross-off winds. Energy’s solid – up to 1629 on Wednesday afternoon. But the call’s marginal.
Now, Thursday August 6th is where things get serious. Morning sees 7ft SSW at 17 seconds – that’s a very long-period groundswell. Combined energy jumps to 2534, strong stuff. Wind’s offshore from the ESE at 19 mph, fresh and clean. This is expert territory – over 8ft it’s only for the brave, but 7ft is still a lot of power. The afternoon holds similar, 7ft, 16 seconds, cross-off wind.
Friday August 7th pumps up to 8ft SSW with a 17-second period in the morning – energy at 3454. Saturday the 8th stays big at 8ft, 16 seconds. By Sunday the 9th it drops back to 7ft. All through this period, winds are cross-off from the ESE or SE at 12-16 mph, keeping it clean but not glassy. These bigger days are strictly for experienced crew.
The standout window looks to be Monday August 10th afternoon, when a 8ft SSW swell with an 18-second period hits, combined energy at a massive 4247. Cross-off wind from the SSE at 12 mph keeps it clean. That’s a powerful, long-period groundswell – perfect for a point or reef, but at Dreamland this could break a bit straight with that period, so keep your wits about you.
Tuesday August 11th morning offers 10ft SSW at 16 seconds – energy 3895, with light cross-off wind. That’s expert-only, big and powerful. The afternoon drops to 8ft.
After that, the swell hangs around 6ft to 8ft through to August 18th, with periods of 14-18 seconds, all clean but mostly cross-off winds. The last few days from August 15th see 8ft to 10ft again, with fresh ESE winds at 19-22 mph – that’s a bit of blow, but still clean. Paddling out will be a mission on the bigger days.
Overall, Dreamland’s the only break in the game, and it’s fairly consistent with a good run of SSW swell. The best bet? Monday August 10th afternoon for that 8ft, 18-second groundswell and clean cross-off – that’s the stand-out session. Thursday August 6th morning with offshore wind is a close second. Get amongst it.
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.
