The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s get into it.
So, for the next couple of weeks, Dreamland is the only game in town. It’s a beach and reef setup, and the swell is going to be consistent. The water temp is 78°, which is normal for the season.
We’re looking at a long-period groundswell from the SSW for the whole period. The wave energy is moderate to strong, with readings in the three to four-digit range. The wind is a constant cross-off from the SE, keeping the waves clean but not perfect.
The real standout is Wednesday, 2nd September morning. The swell is 8ft from the SW, period is 17 seconds, and the energy is strong at 3255. The wind is a light breeze, still cross-off, but lighter. The conditions are “excellent” for experienced surfers. This is the best of the lot. The swell direction lines up perfectly with the optimum, and the long period will give the reef some proper shape. It’s over 5ft, so it’s not for beginners.
Before that, Friday, 28th August is also big. The swell is 8ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, and the energy is pumping at 3319. The wind is a moderate breeze, but still cross-off. Only for the experienced.
After that, the swell drops a bit, but it picks up again for the first week of September. Thursday, 3rd September morning has 8ft from the SW, and Friday, 4th September morning is 6ft from the SW with a light breeze. Both are “excellent” for experienced surfers. The Saturday, 5th September morning is smaller at 4ft, but the period is a massive 20 seconds, and the energy is still strong at 1779. The wind is light, which is a bonus, but a 20-second period swell can be a bit too straight for some spots, but at Dreamland’s reef, it’s a winner.
The first few days, from the 21st to the 25th of August, are solid but not epic. The swell is there, but the wind is a bit stiffer. It’s clean, but it’s not the highlight. The crowds are “sometimes” busy, so you’ll have company, especially on the bigger days.
For the second week, the pattern holds. The swell stays in the 5ft to 8ft range, mostly from the SSW and SW. The wind is constant SE. The energy is moderate to strong. It’s a steady run, but the best is definitely the 2nd of September.
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.
