The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way. We’ve got a solid run of SSW groundswell on the cards for Dreamland, and while it’s not all perfect, there are a couple of sessions that stand out from the pack.
We kick things off from Sunday, August 2nd, with a consistent 7 ft SSW swell pushing in at a very long 17 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, with combined energy hitting 2240 (moderate to strong). The wind is a cross-off from the ESE at 12 mph, which keeps things clean but not glassy. The report flags it as marginal, but it’s surfable. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
Moving through Monday and Tuesday, the swell drops a touch to 5 ft - 6 ft, still with that long period (14-15 seconds), but the cross-off breeze hangs around. The energy stays in the 1200-1500 range. It’s not going to blow you away, but there’ll be waves.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Thursday, August 6th, the morning sees a jump in size to 7 ft, period 17 seconds, and for the first time we get true offshore wind from the ESE at 16 mph. The energy is up to 2532 (strong), and the wave state is described as “moderate offshore and clean”. This is a real step up in quality.
But the standout – the one you want to circle on the calendar – is Friday, August 7th, in the morning. Swell is a solid 8 ft, period 17 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the ESE at 16 mph. The combined energy is a whopping 3591 (strong to very strong). The report calls it “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers”. That’s the pick of the whole forecast. This is a big, powerful groundswell, so Dreamland’s beach-and-reef setup will handle it, but at 8 ft, this is for experienced crew only. The very long period means long lulls between sets, but the waves will be well-shaped and full of energy.
After that, the swell stays in the 7 ft to 8 ft range through the weekend and into the next week, with mostly cross-off winds. Monday, August 10th, the afternoon sees a 8 ft swell at 18 seconds with energy at 4687 (very strong), but the wind is cross-off again. There’s a real spike in size on Tuesday, August 11th, with 10 ft swell, but the wind remains cross-off. That’s big, powerful, and for experts only.
The forecast then fades a little from mid-August, with swell dropping to 5 ft - 7 ft, period still long (14-16 seconds), and cross-off winds continuing. The last week becomes more of a background swell, with energy dropping to around 1000-2000.
So, if you’re picking the best of the bunch: Friday, August 7th morning. That’s the one. Offshore wind, 8 ft at 17 seconds, and excellent conditions. Get on it. There are also promising but less certain sessions around Monday the 10th afternoon and Tuesday the 11th morning, but the wind is just cross-off, not offshore, so they’re not quite as clean.
Stay safe, paddle hard.
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.
