Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dreamland over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let's take a look at what's happening with Dreamland. This is a beach and reef setup that's fairly exposed and likes swell from the southwest. The water temp here is about 80°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Right off the bat, the weekend is looking a bit rough. The wind is howling from the southeast at 19 mph and up, creating cross-off conditions, and the swell is small with short periods. For Saturday the 25th, it's a no-go with weak energy and questionable conditions. Sunday the 26th has a bit more size, around 7 ft to 7 ft from the southeast, but the wind stays strong and messy. Not really worth paddling out for. The start of the week, Monday the 27th, has some offshore wind in the morning with a 6 ft swell, but the period is a short 8 seconds and the wind is a strong breeze at 25 mph. It's clean but hard work, and the energy is moderate at best (769).
We've got a long stretch of mediocrity here. From the 28th of July through to the 2nd of August, the swell drops and the conditions are just average, with cross-off winds and marginal scores. The energy picks up a bit from the 30th onward, with a long-period groundswell from the SSW hitting 15 to 17 seconds, but it's still cross-off and the size stays around 4 ft to 6 ft. The combined energy is moderate, in the 700 to 1800 range, but nothing that gets the heart racing.
Now, things get more interesting around Monday the 3rd of August. We finally see a proper offshore wind in the morning from the ESE at 12 mph, with a solid 6 ft SSW swell at 15 seconds. The forecast says "expect very good surf conditions," and I'd agree. This is the first real standout. The long period means better shaped waves and more push, but remember, at a beach and reef spot like Dreamland, that long period can make things a bit more lined up and tricky. Still, the wind is clean and the energy is moderate (1270). Tuesday the 4th is a step down with cross-off winds, but the swell holds in.
But the real standout, the one you circle on your calendar, is Thursday the 6th of August. We get a proper pulse of SW groundswell pushing 8 ft at 18 seconds. That's very long period, and the combined energy is massive at 4659. That's some serious power. The wind is cross-off from the SE at 16 mph, which will keep it clean enough, but at 8 ft, this is strictly for experienced surfers. For a beach and reef, this long period stuff can barrel and line up, but it'll be moving fast. Friday the 7th is still solid with 8 ft at 16 seconds.
The week after that, from the 7th to the 9th of August, tapers off but stays in the 7 ft to 7 ft range with 15-16 second periods and consistent cross-off winds. It's good, steady surf, but the standout is definitely that Thursday the 6th.
So, to sum it up: the first week is mostly a write-off with poor winds and small, weak swell. The real action kicks off on the 3rd of August with clean offshore conditions, and peaks on the 6th with a big, powerful, very long period SW swell. If you're experienced and can handle some serious juice, that Thursday the 6th is your window. For the rest of the second week, expect fun, consistent waves in the 6-7 ft range, but with that cross-off wind keeping things a bit raw.

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.
