The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at Dreamland. The water temp’s sitting at about 80°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Honestly, the outlook’s a bit of a grind for the next week or so. We start on Wednesday the 22nd with clean, cross-off winds but the swell’s just not cooperating. It’s marginal, with a combined energy of 733 and that’s weak. Thursday the 23rd morning shows a bit more energy at 1042, but still nothing to write home about. The pattern hangs in there through the weekend with similar cross-off conditions and inconsistent, average-height swell.
We see a shift around Sunday the 26th as the swell direction swings to the SE with a shorter period of 9 seconds and combined energy staying moderate. Monday the 27th morning has a brief window of offshore wind at 22 mph, which is promising for clean conditions, but the swell’s short period keeps the quality just okay.
The real standout doesn’t show up until the second week. On Thursday the 31st of July and into early August, Dreamland starts to see better groundswell energy. August 4th Tuesday is a big one—swell hits 8 to 10 feet from the SSW with a long 18-second period, and combined energy soaring to 5082. That’s serious power. This is advanced territory; beginners need to sit this one out. The wind stays cross-off, so it’ll be clean but powerful.
Then Thursday the 6th of August is the pick of the forecast. ESE offshore winds at just 9 mph, a solid 5 to 7 foot SSW groundswell with a very long 19-second period, and energy at 2975. That’s excellent, quality surf for experienced surfers—clean, lined-up, and with those long gaps between sets making the paddle out easier. This is the one to aim for.
So if you’re patient, the second week has some gems. The first week? Just stay tuned, forecasts can change.
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.
