The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Dreamland. We’ve got a solid stretch of surf coming, so let’s break it down.

The pattern starts on Tuesday the 25th of August with a clean 6 ft SSW swell. The wind is a cross-off from the ESE at 25 km/h, so it’s not glassy but it’s rideable. The energy is strong (1322), but the tide might be a factor. It’s a warm-up day.

Wednesday the 26th drops to 5 ft, still from the SSW with a 14-second period. The wind is a touch lighter. The energy is moderate (895). Not a standout, but surfable.

Thursday the 27th is where things pick up. The morning is smaller, but the afternoon brings a jump to 5 ft from the SSW. The period stretches to 15 seconds, and the energy jumps to 2872. The wind is still cross-off. This is a nice improvement.

Friday the 28th is a big one. The swell hits 8 ft from the SSW with a 16-second period. The energy is pumping (3731 in the morning, 3039 in the afternoon). The wind drops to a gentle 15 km/h cross-off in the afternoon. This is legit, but at 8 ft, it’s strictly for experts. Stay safe.

Saturday the 29th is the pick of the first week. The morning sees 7 ft SSW swell, a 15-second period, and gentle cross-off wind. The energy is 1684, and the call is “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” This is the session to aim for. The afternoon drops back to 5 ft, but the morning is the one.

Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are a step down. Swell hangs around 4 ft to 6 ft, but the wind picks up to 25 km/h on Sunday, making it lumpy. The Monday swell has a very long period of 19 seconds, which at Dreamland (a beach and reef set-up) can make it a bit straight and walled-up. Still surfable, but not as good.

The first week of September sees a steady run of 5 ft to 7 ft SSW swell, but the wind stays stubbornly cross-off. Nothing truly glassy, but solid. The 8th of September is a serious late call. The morning of Tuesday the 8th looks like a monster: 6 ft SSW swell with a 20-second period, gentle cross-off wind, and an energy reading of 3859. The afternoon jumps to 7 ft with 4214 energy. It’s a long way out, but if that holds, it’s a proper groundswell for experts. The period is so long that the sets will be widely spaced, and the wave shape at a beach-reef mix like Dreamland could be tricky, but for the experienced crew, it’s a real standout.

The Standout: Saturday the 29th of August. The morning session offers 7 ft SSW swell, a 15-second period, gentle cross-off wind, and excellent conditions. It’s the best balance of size and quality in the first week. The other big call is the 8th of September, but that’s a long-range promise, not a guarantee.

Water temperature is about average for the time of year. The crowd at Dreamland is marked as “sometimes” busy, so during these better swells, expect a few more heads out. It’s a fairly exposed spot, so the SSW swell gets in 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.
