The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Dreamland. It’s a stretch of coast that’s about to get a solid run of south-west groundswell, but it’s not all smooth sailing. We’ve got a decent window of surf, though the first few days are a bit messy with the wind and tide. Let’s get into it.
The action kicks off on Tuesday the 4th of August. The swell is already building, with a 6ft SSW swell pushing in (combined energy of 1148). It’s clean, but a cross-off SE wind at 12 mph is keeping it from being perfect. The 14-second period gives it some punch, but it’s a bit of a groaner – not quite the magic yet. Water temp is sitting at 79°, which is about average for this time of year, so no need to dig out the thick wetsuit.
Wednesday the 5th looks similar, with the swell holding around 5–6ft from the SSW and a 15-second period. The energy is climbing (1459 in the morning, 1703 in the afternoon), but the wind is still cross-off from the SE at 12 mph. It’s a surfer’s grumble – clean enough, but that wind is just off enough to knock the top off the waves.
Now, Thursday the 6th is where things start to get interesting. The swell jumps to 7ft from the SSW, and the period stretches to 17 seconds. The morning sees an offshore wind from the ESE at 16 mph, which is a massive positive. The energy is cranked up to 2460, and the waves are looking clean and groomed. This is a standout for the first half of the week. Friday morning the 7th is the absolute peak early on – 8ft of SSW swell, a 17-second period, and offshore ESE wind at 16 mph. The energy is 3090, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is a true gem, but be warned: at 8ft, it’s pushing into expert territory. The wind is moderate offshore, so expect some clean, grunty lines. The break is a beach and reef setup, and with that long period groundswell, it’ll be breaking a bit straight on the beach, but the reef will hold it together. Crowds are possible, so get in early.
The swell stays solid through the weekend, with Saturday the 8th offering 8ft and Sunday the 9th at 7ft, both from the SSW. The wind stays cross-off, which is a bit of a letdown after that Friday morning perfection. The energy is still strong (2786 and 2228), but it’s not the cleanest. Then Monday the 10th throws a curveball – the swell jumps to 10ft from the SSW in the afternoon, with a massive 18-second period and energy of 5377. That’s a powerful, long-period groundswell. The wind is cross-off again, and while it’s clean, that size is only for experts. The long period means it’ll be a bit walled-up at the beach breaks, but the reef should handle it. This is a heyday for the experienced crew.
The rest of the week into the second week sees a slow decline. Tuesday the 11th holds 10ft, then it drops to 7ft on Wednesday the 12th. The wind is still cross-off, and the energy stays high (4809, 3985, 2941). Thursday the 13th morning is another standout – 8ft from the SSW, 17-second period, and offshore ESE wind at 12 mph. The energy is 3233, and it’s described as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a real treat, with a moderate offshore grooming the waves.
The later part of the second week, from the 15th to the 19th of August, keeps the swell around 6–8ft, but the wind is mostly cross-off from the SE at 12–16 mph. The energy is still decent (1419 to 3834), but it’s not the clean perfection we had earlier. The 18th and 19th see a stronger ESE wind at 19 mph, which will start to ruffle things up. The long-period stuff in the second week (like the 17th morning with a 19-second period) will be powerful, but the cross-off wind means it’s more of a struggle than a glory.
The best on offer? Friday the 7th morning is the standout – 8ft, 17 seconds, offshore wind, and solid energy. That’s the one to circle. The other is Thursday the 13th morning – 8ft, 17 seconds, offshore wind, and clean. For the bigger days, Monday the 10th afternoon (10ft, 18 seconds) is a monster for experts only. The rest of the run is consistent but not quite as clean.
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.
