The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Dreamland. This is a beach and reef setup, and it’s fairly consistent, so we’ve got waves on the way. The water is sitting at 79°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first proper swell rolls in on Monday the 7th of September. We’re looking at a 7ft SSW swell pushing through, with a period of 14 seconds. That’s a nice groundswell, and it’s carrying some serious energy – we’re talking 1695 (moderate) for the combined energy. The wind is a cross-off from the SE at 12 mph, which will keep things reasonably clean. This is a solid start, but the conditions are a bit marginal, so it’s more one for the experienced crew.

Through Tuesday the 8th, the swell holds around the same size, 7ft, still from the SSW, but the period jumps to 18 seconds on the Tuesday afternoon. That’s a very long period swell, which is going to be better for points and reefs than the beach break. The energy is strong, peaking at 3469 (strong). The wind stays cross-off, so it’s still clean, but the tide and shape might be a bit tricky.

Wednesday the 9th brings a bit more size, with the morning swell hitting 8ft from the SSW and a 16-second period. That’s getting into expert territory, but the wind drops to 9 mph, still cross-off. The afternoon session is the standout for this day: 8ft, 16-second period, and the wave comment says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. The energy is still strong at 2615. This is your best call for the first week if you’re comfortable with overhead surf.

The rest of the first week and into the second week stays fairly consistent. The swell hangs around the 5ft to 7ft mark, mostly from the SSW or SW, with periods between 14 and 18 seconds. The wind is always cross-off from the SE or ESE, at 9 to 15 mph. It’s clean, but the tide and shape keep things in that marginal zone. There’s nothing really bad, but nothing that screams “drop everything.”

Now, if you’ve got patience, the real standout is on Sunday the 20th of September. The morning has a 10ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 3990 (very strong). That’s a big, powerful swell. The afternoon drops to 8ft, but the wave comment calls it excellent for experienced surfers. This is the biggest and best-looking window in the whole 16-day run. The wind is a gentle 9 mph cross-off, so it’ll be clean. Just be aware that at 10ft, this is for experts only. The crowds might show up, so keep that in mind.

Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd still have some decent leftover swell, 8ft and 7ft, but the energy fades and the period drops, so it’s tapering off.

Overall, the first week is solid but not epic, with the best day being Wednesday the 9th. The second week has a real punch on Sunday the 20th. If you’re after the biggest, cleanest swell, that’s your window. Stay safe out there.

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.
