The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down Dreamland in feet and knots.
Okay, so straight off the bat: Dreamland is getting constant swell, but the wind is stubborn. It’s blowing from the east-southeast to southeast for almost the whole 16 days, giving us a cross-off breeze. The waves will be clean-looking, but the forecast quality is rated as “marginal” for nearly every session. The scores are low. The only session that gets called “excellent” is the afternoon of Wednesday, September 9th.
Starting Friday the 4th: clean 5ft SW groundswell (14-second period). Weak to moderate energy at 745 (combined energy). It’s just okay. Saturday the 5th, a stronger SSW groundswell (16-second period) rolls in at 7ft to 7ft. Energy jumps to 2007–2028 – that’s strong. Sunday the 6th is the biggest energy spike of the whole run: a 7ft SSW groundswell (17-second period) in the morning, hitting a massive 2844 energy. Still, the wind is cross-off from the SSE, and the call is “marginal.” Water temp is 80°, right on average for the time of year.
Circle Wednesday the 9th. The morning is still marginal with an 8ft SSW swell (16-second period) and strong energy at 2961. But the afternoon is the one: winds ease to a gentle breeze from the south at 9 mph, still cross-off, and the wave state is called “excellent.” You’re looking at a 8ft SSW groundswell (16-second period), very strong energy at 2615. That’s the standout. Over 7ft, so it’s for experienced surfers only. Beginners, stay on the beach.
From Thursday the 10th through Saturday the 19th, it’s a nearly identical pattern: clean faces, solid swell sizes between 5ft and 8ft, mostly from the SSW with long periods (14 to 20 seconds). Combined energy stays strong, between 1400 and 3559. Wind is always cross-off, never glassy. The forecasts keep saying “marginal.” Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might see a handful of others. That long-period groundswell (over 15 seconds) can make a beach and reef setup like Dreamland break a bit straight, and the paddle out can be a grind, but the clean surface will help.
So, the best bet: the afternoon of Wednesday, September 9th. Big, clean, long-period SSW swell. The one “excellent” session of the whole forecast. Everything else is just consistent but not special.
Rusty, out.

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.
