The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of long-period groundswell setting up at Dreamland, and it’s gonna be hanging around for a good while. The water is sitting at 79° which is about average for the time of year – no surprises there.
The first real action kicks off Saturday morning, August 8th. We’re seeing an 8ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, pumping out a combined energy of 3113 (moderate). The wind is a cross-off from the ESE at 12 mph, keeping things clean. This is a big, powerful swell, and that 8ft mark is getting into expert territory. The wave comment does flag it as marginal due to tide, but the swell is there.
Saturday afternoon holds steady, with 8ft SSW and 2751 energy. The cross-off wind hangs on.
Sunday, August 9th, the swell backs off a hair to 7ft, but it’s still a long 16-second period. The energy is still strong at 2228. The score is a bit lower, but it’s clean.
Monday, August 10th, is where things get interesting. The morning is 6ft but the period jumps to 19 seconds, with energy at 3713. Then Monday afternoon, the swell bumps up to 10ft from the SSW, with an 18-second period and a massive 5492 energy reading. That is a lot of water moving.
Now, the standout window. Tuesday, August 11th, morning is the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a 10ft SSW swell, a 17-second period, and 5364 energy. The wind is a gentle breeze from the SE at 9 mph, making for a clean, cross-off session. The wave comment says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers” – and that’s exactly what this is. This is a big, powerful, long-period groundswell, so at Dreamland, a beach and reef setup, the long period might make it a bit straight at times, but the quality is undeniable. This is the one to circle.
The rest of the week holds solid 7ft to 10ft SSW swell, with tricky conditions flagged as marginal for tide, but the wind stays clean and cross-off. By Thursday, August 13th, we’re back to 10ft with 4805 energy.
The second week stays active. Saturday, August 15th, the afternoon session shows 8ft with a 17-second period and 2985 energy, and the wind is a gentle 9 mph cross-off – that’s another clean, promising window.
Monday, August 17th, the swell dips to 5ft, but by Tuesday, August 18th afternoon, it’s back up to 7ft with a 19-second period and 4581 energy. That’s a long-period groundswell again.
The end of the run, from August 19th to the 23rd, keeps mostly 8ft to 10ft SSW swell, but the wind picks up to a fresh breeze of 19 mph from the ESE. That’s still cross-off, but it’ll be a bit more textured on the surface. The energy readings stay high, between 4000 and 5000 plus.
If you’re picking one session, it’s Tuesday morning, August 11th. That’s the standout. The whole run is consistent, but that one is firing on all cylinders. The later part of the second week has solid size but the breeze is stronger, so it’s a bit less polished.
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.
