The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a solid 16-day window of surf on the cards at Dreamland – a beach and reef setup – and it’s all about the same consistent, long-period SSW groundswell. The water temperature is sitting at 79°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The overall pattern is a long, steady run of good-sized swell, but the wind is the main thing to talk about. For the first week and a half, it’s mostly a cross-off breeze from the ESE to SE, which keeps the waves clean but not perfect. That cross-off wind will be holding the face open, but it’s not that glassy, offshore perfection we all dream of. The wave energy is strong to very strong throughout, with combined energy values consistently in the thousands (3333 on Friday morning, 5492 on Monday afternoon), so there’s serious power in the water.
The best on offer, and the standout of the whole period, is definitely the run from Thursday, August 20th through to Friday, August 21st. On Thursday morning, we see a jump to 12ft of SSW swell with a long 18-second period, and the wind drops to a light breeze from the SE (10 km/h). The combined energy hits a massive 6663, and the conditions are clean. This is proper expert-level stuff – over 8ft and powerful. The crowd profile at Dreamland says it can be “sometimes” busy, so on a Thursday morning with that quality, expect a few others who know what’s up. Friday morning is also a ripper: 10ft, 17-second period, and the wind finally goes offshore from the ESE at 20 km/h, giving us that clean, lined-up look. The combined energy is still a strong 4272. This is the one to circle.
Before that, the surf is consistent but more of a grind. From Friday, August 7th right through to Wednesday, August 19th, we’re looking at 7ft to 10ft, mostly with a 15 to 17-second period. The wind is a persistent cross-off, so it’s ridable but not pristine. The combined energy dips from 3609 down to 2197 at times, so the power fluctuates. By Monday, August 17th, the wind actually goes offshore, but the swell drops to 6ft, making it a smaller, cleaner day that’s more manageable for a wider range of surfers.
From Saturday, August 22nd, the energy starts to fade as the swell drops to 7ft and then 6ft by the afternoon, with periods shortening to 15 seconds. The combined energy falls to 1568, so it’s not the same punch.
The whole run is fairly consistent, so there’s always something to surf, but the real magic is in that final week, specifically Thursday and Friday, August 20th and 21st. That’s when the stars align for the experienced crew.
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.
