The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up for Dreamland.
We've got a solid stretch of surf ahead, but it's not a perfect run. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The pattern kicks off on Wednesday, 9th September, with a solid 8ft SSW groundswell packing a lot of punch (combined energy of 3182). The period is a long 16 seconds, so it's proper groundswell, which means it might jack up a bit too straight for a beach break, but Dreamland is a beach and reef setup, so the reef might help shape it up. The wind is a cross-off at 12 mph, which keeps it clean but not glassy. It's a touch on the big side for beginners, more of an advanced wave.
That swell slowly eases through Thursday and Friday, still holding good size around 7ft to 6ft, still with that long period. The wind stays cross-off, so the surface will be clean, but the "marginal" tag in the data suggests the tide or something else is a bit off. It's still surfable, just not perfect.
The real standout in this whole forecast lands on Tuesday, 22nd September. Early morning, we see a jump to 8ft from the SSW, with a very long period of 18 seconds and the combined energy absolutely cranking at 5409. That's a serious pulse of energy. The wind is a moderate cross-off, so the surf will be clean and powerful. This is a day for experienced surfers only – 8ft with that kind of length is a lot of water moving. The afternoon is similar, just slightly less energy.
The week before that, on Sunday, 13th September, is also a good call. Another 7ft SW swell, period of 17 seconds, and solid energy (2633). It's a touch smaller than the 22nd, but still a very good, clean option.
There's a bit of a lull around the 18th and 19th, with the swell dropping to 5ft and the energy falling below 1000. It's small, but the conditions are clean with light winds, so it's a good opportunity for a smaller board session.
Crowds at Dreamland are listed as "sometimes", so you can expect some company, especially on the bigger days, but it won't be a circus. The optimum swell direction is SW, and this forecast is consistently delivering SW and SSW swells, so the direction is working for us.
The best on offer is clearly the big pulse on the 22nd of September. That's the one to circle. The 13th of September is a solid second pick. Keep an eye on the tides, as the data keeps hinting at questionable conditions there, but the swell and wind are lining up.
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.
