The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got my eyes on the next couple of weeks for you. The only spot that’s really on the cards is Dreamland, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag—plenty of solid swell coming through, but the wind is going to be a constant factor. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no nasty surprises there.

The swell kicks off on Saturday the 8th of August, with a solid 8 ft SSW groundswell rolling in, but it’s coming in with a cross-off wind from the SE at 12 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 2800, but it’s a bit lumpy with that wind. The conditions are clean, but the forecast says it’s marginal. Sunday the 9th stays similar, 7 ft SSW swell, still cross-off winds, and the energy drops a bit to 2228. The real standout of the whole forecast is Tuesday the 11th, especially the morning. You’ve got a pumping 10 ft SSW swell, 17-second period groundswell, energy at 5261, and the wind is a lighter 9 mph from the ESE. It’s still cross-off, but that gentle breeze and the size—this is a day for experienced surfers only, as it’s well over 8 ft. The waves are going to be powerful and clean, but that long period means it’s going to be fast and straight at a beach break, so keep your wits about you. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have some company, but it’s worth it.

Monday the 10th has a big 10 ft SSW swell in the afternoon, with energy at 5492, but the wind is cross-off at 12 mph. Still, it’s a heavy day. Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th keep the swell around 7 ft to 10 ft, but the wind stays cross-off, making it a grind. On Friday the 14th, the afternoon session with 7 ft SSW swell and a gentler 9 mph cross-off wind is a solid pick, with energy at 2261 and “excellent surf conditions” noted. Saturday the 15th afternoon is another good window with the same size and gentle breeze.

After that, the first week of the second week sees the swell drop a bit, hovering around 5 ft to 7 ft. The wind stays cross-off, and the energy drops to around 1000-2000, so it’s manageable but not firing. The big news is Wednesday the 19th of August, when the wind switches to offshore from the ESE at 19 mph, bringing a 8 ft SSW swell with energy at 4585. That’s a fresh breeze, so it’s going to be clean and glassy, but the size is still for experienced surfers only. The following days, the 20th and 21st, keep the swell at 8 ft to 10 ft, but the wind is back to cross-off. The very last standout is Saturday the 22nd morning, with offshore wind again at 16 mph and a 8 ft SSW swell, energy at 2948—clean, but the crowds might be there.

There’s no true beginner-friendly waves in this run, as the swell never drops below 5 ft for long, and most days are over 7 ft. If you’re paddling out, stick to the experienced surfer windows. For the kite crew, those cross-off winds and solid swell make for a fun session, but for paddle surfing, it’s all about picking your moments. The gap between decent windows is small—just a few days of lower energy in the middle of the second week. It’s a solid run for the crew that knows what they’re doing.

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.
