The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, your local surf reporter. Let's have a look at what's coming our way.
Alright, we've got a bit of a tricky one for the next couple of weeks. The pattern is pretty much the same across the whole period: a solid run of swell from the SW, but it's always going to be blowing a cross-offshore wind from the SE or ESE, which means it won't be perfect but the waves will be clean. The main issue flagged is marginal surf conditions, likely due to tide or the wave shape not being quite right.
For the first week, starting Monday the 7th of September, we've got a solid 7.2ft SSW groundswell (2003 combined energy) with a 12 mph SE cross-off breeze. The water temp is about average for the time of year. This pattern holds through the week with swell sizes fluctuating between 4.6ft and 8.2ft, with the largest pushing into Wednesday the 9th (8.2ft SSW, 16 second period, 3182 combined energy). That's a beefy swell but with the cross-off wind, it's more of a challenge for advanced surfers at Dreamland, a beach and reef setup. The 19-second period on Tuesday morning is very long period groundswell, which tends to break straight at beach breaks but can line up better on the reef here. Expect crowds sometimes.
Moving into the second week, from Monday the 14th of September onward, we keep seeing a similar theme: steady 4.9ft to 6.6ft SW groundswell with moderate cross-off breezes. The combined energy drops a bit (ranging from 980 to 2878), but the consistency is there. The standout in this stretch looks to be Saturday the 19th of September with a nice 6.2ft SW groundswell at 17 seconds (2380 combined energy) and a lighter 9 mph cross-off wind in the afternoon—clean, punchy waves for the more experienced crew. Still, the marginal surf tag hangs over everything, so don't expect perfection.
Overall, the best on offer is probably Wednesday the 9th of September morning if you're advanced and want some size, or Saturday the 19th September afternoon for a slightly cleaner, more manageable swell. It's not a classic run, but there's surf to be had if you pick your moments.

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.
