Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Dreamland's got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.

First up, the water is sitting at a warm 81°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The outlook starts on Monday the 6th of July, but honestly, it's a bit of a slow burner. That first week is gonna be a grind. We've got a decent amount of swell pushing through, with a solid south-southwest groundswell. The combined energy is strong, hitting values in the thousands (1404 to 2116), and with periods hanging around 15 to 17 seconds, there's plenty of power behind it. The problem is the wind. It's a persistent cross-off from the ESE to SE, blowing 16 to 22 mph. It keeps the surface clean, sure, but it's going to make things a bit lumpy and tricky. For an advanced spot like Dreamland, it’s doable, but the forecast notes suggest the conditions are marginal due to the wind and tide. It’s not going to be pretty.

The waves are going to be in the 4ft to 7ft range through the first week, so it's solid, but the raw energy isn't matching the quality on offer. It's a big, powerful groundswell that really needs cleaner conditions to shine. There are a few moments with offshore wind on the morning of Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th of July, which will be a big step up in quality. Tuesday the 14th morning looks promising with a fresh offshore ESE breeze and a 6ft SSW swell pumping with 17-second period and an energy reading of 2185. That could be the first real standout window, but it’s still a way off.

Now, hold onto your boards, because the second week is where this forecast gets seriously interesting. The period from Saturday the 18th of July through to Tuesday the 21st of July looks like the absolute highlight of this whole outlook. The wind drops right back to a light breeze (6-12 mph) from the ESE to SE, still cross-off but much more manageable. We’re looking at solid 5ft to 8ft swells from the SSW with periods still in the 15 to 17-second range. The energy readings are huge, climbing from 1649 up to 2701. That’s proper, powerful groundswell. For an advanced break like Dreamland, that’s gonna be game on. The Saturday morning and Sunday morning windows in particular are being flagged as "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This is the time to be there. The swell size sits above 5ft, so it's not for beginners, and when it pushes over 7ft on Sunday and Monday, it’s strictly for the experienced crew.

The standout: Without a doubt, the window from Saturday the 18th through Monday the 20th of July. The combination of a big, long-period SSW groundswell with light winds and clean conditions is the best bet we’ve got. The swell direction (SSW to SW) matches the optimum direction for Dreamland, and the energy is through the roof. Just be ready for the crowd – Dreamland can get busy, and with this quality on offer, it’s going to be a popular spot.

Don't bother paddling out in the first week unless you're desperate and don't mind battling the wind. The second week is where the magic is.

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.
