The Lowdown
Yo, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Dreamland, and there’s some serious deepwater energy lighting up the forecast. This is not a week for groms or weekend warriors looking to cruise; this is a stretch for experienced surfers only.
We kick things off from Friday afternoon, the 7th of August, and it’s already pumping. A solid 8ft SSW groundswell is rolling in with a long period of 16 seconds, giving it that proper heavy feel. The combined energy is a beefy 3609 (moderate wave energy), and the water temp is sitting at a warm 79°, which is about average for the time of year. The only catch is the cross-off wind from the SE at 12 mph – it’s keeping things clean, but it’s not the glassy perfection we'd dream of.
The stand-out window opens on Sunday morning, the 9th. The swell drops slightly to 7ft from the SSW, but the period holds at 16 seconds. The real kicker is the wind: ESE at 16 mph blowing offshore. That’s a major positive. We’re looking at "moderate offshore and clean" conditions, which is about as good as it gets for a spot like Dreamland that wants that southwest direction. The combined energy is still strong at 2228 (moderate wave energy). This is the pick of the early run for experienced surfers.
Later in the week, Thursday the 13th sees another spike, with the swell jumping to 12ft from the SSW. That’s expert territory, no question. The period is a meaty 17 seconds, and the combined energy is a thumping 6866 (strong wave energy). The wind is cross-off from the SE at 16 mph, so it’s clean, but at that size, you better have your wits about you. Dreamland is a beach and reef set-up, and with that long period groundswell, it might break a bit too straight for some sections – keep that in mind.
Keep an eye on the 19th of August, Wednesday afternoon. The swell is a consistent 8ft from the SSW, period at 17 seconds, and the wind swings to a gentler SSE at 9 mph, still cross-off. The conditions are flagged as "excellent for experienced surfers," and the energy is solid at 3866 (moderate wave energy). That’s another quality window.
The only real downside here is the crowds. The guidance says Dreamland can get "sometimes" crowded, and when the swell lines up like this, you can expect company. If you want a quieter session, the Sunday morning (9th) might be your best bet before the word gets out.
Overall, this is a solid, powerful run of SSW groundswell. There’s no "no surf" gap here; we’ve got waves from the get-go. For the absolute best, lock in Sunday morning the 9th for the offshore wind, or Thursday the 13th if you’re after the biggest push. Stay sharp 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.
