Table - best surf conditions forecast for Dreamland over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming, but it’s not all smooth sailing. The first few days are small, and it takes until Tuesday the 14th for the real power to show up. The standout window is definitely the start of the week.
Monday the 13th is a slow starter. We’ve got tiny 2ft swell at Dreamland with a super long 23-second period, which is pretty to look at but not much to ride. The wind is offshore from the ESE, so it’s clean, but the energy is just moderate (646). It’s a good day to get the gear sorted, not a day to charge.
Now, Tuesday the 14th morning is where it’s at. The swell jumps to 6ft, still from the SSW, with a 17-second period, pushing the combined energy into the strong zone (2448). The wind is offshore and clean. This is excellent, serious surf for experienced surfers. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises. Afternoon pushes it to 7ft, still clean, and the energy is high (2749). This is the best of the whole forecast. The break is a beach and reef setup, so that long-period groundswell will be finding its lines. Expect some proper, powerful wedges.
Wednesday the 15th sees the swell sticking around 7ft, but the wind goes cross-offshore, which isn’t as crisp. The energy is still high (2138), but the quality is a notch down. Thursday the 16th through to the end of the first week drop off in size and quality, with energy dropping into the moderate range and wind staying cross-off. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
There’s a bit of a lull over the weekend, but then we’ve got another pulse coming through on Monday the 20th. Swell size jumps back to 7ft from the SSW with a 17-second period, and energy is very strong (2810). The wind is cross-off from the ESE, so it’s clean. This is another big session for the experienced crew, but it’s a bit of a wait. The following Tuesday the 21st still has some size at 6ft, and it’s clean.
The real dark horse is the 25th of July, a Saturday morning. The swell is only 4ft, but the period is a massive 19 seconds, and the wind is cross-off from the SSE. The energy is still strong (1506) for that size. That long-period groundswell at a beach and reef will be very fast and steep, lining up beautifully. This is a day for the high-performance board and a keen eye. It’s a quiet, sneaky standout.
Crowds at Dreamland can be a thing sometimes, so pick your moment. The 14th morning will be busy, but the 25th morning might be your quiet, quality session.
Overall, aim for Tuesday the 14th morning for the biggest, cleanest power, or the 25th morning for a sleeper session with world-class lines.
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.
