The Lowdown
Yo, it's Rusty. Let's check out Dreamland. It's a beach and reef spot, pretty open to the swell, and the ideal direction is from the southwest. The water's about 80°, which is dead average for this time of year, so no worries there.
The start is a bit slow. Sunday the 19th has some swell in the water, but it's nothing special. The wind is a fresh cross-off from the ESE at 19 mph, keeps it clean, but the energy is only 899 (weak-to-moderate). It's a coffee-and-watch kind of day.
Monday the 20th gets more interesting. The swell builds to 5ft from the SSW, with a 14-second period, and the energy jumps to 2074 (moderate). That's a proper groundswell. The afternoon gets even bigger at 7ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, energy of 2325 (strong). That's a lot of water moving, but with 19 mph cross-off wind, it's going to be a workout. Clean, but for experienced surfers only.
Tuesday the 21st drops back a bit. Morning swell is 6ft from the SSW, 14 seconds, cross-off wind at 16 mph. Energy is 1332 (moderate). It's clean, but nothing to write home about.
The rest of the week from Wednesday the 22nd through Sunday the 27th is a mixed bag. Swell sizes bounce from 3ft to 5ft, with periods mostly in the 13-18 second range. The wind stays cross-off, keeping it clean, but the energy is often weak (values like 517, 581, 685). The best bits are: Sunday the 26th morning has a true offshore wind from the ESE at 16 mph with 3ft SSW swell, 13 seconds, and energy of 517. The report says "expect good surf conditions." That's a clean, glassy morning. Then Monday the 27th morning has a light offshore breeze from the ESE at 6 mph with a tiny 2ft swell, but a very long 19-second period, energy of 581. That's a pure groundswell, super clean, but small. Great for a log.
Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th show a nice build. Wednesday the 29th has a 6ft SSW swell, 16 seconds, with moderate cross-off wind. Energy is 1676 (moderate-to-strong). It's not perfect, but it's getting there.
The real standout is the morning of Friday the 31st of July. We've got a 4ft swell from the SSW, but with a very long 18-second period and a clean offshore wind from the ESE at 12 mph. The energy is 1307 (moderate), and the report says "expect very good surf conditions." That's the one. The long period and clean offshore wind will make for some beautiful, lined-up waves. Find a sandbar that works.
Looking into the first week of August, the swell gets bigger again, with 7ft to 8ft from the SW on Monday the 3rd of August, periods around 17 seconds, and energy values near 3000 (strong). That's a big, powerful swell, only for experts. The wind is offshore in the morning, so it could be incredible, but it's a long way out so keep your expectations in check.
So, the best bet is the morning of Friday the 31st of July. Clean, long-period groundswell with perfect wind. The week before has some fun, small windows, but nothing that's a must-see. The second week looks promising for bigger stuff, but it's less certain.
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.
