The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, your local surf reporter, checking in on the Dreamland (beach and reef) lineup for the next 16 days. Let’s get into it.

To be honest, the first few days are a bit of a mixed bag. We see a solid swell pulse coming in, but the conditions aren't quite clicking for that perfect session. Monday afternoon kicks things off with a clean 5 ft SSW swell at 14 seconds, with a strong offshore breeze from the ESE. The wave energy is cooking at 1494, but the rating tells me it's really only for the experienced crew. The water is a warm 80°, which is pretty much average for this time of year.

Tuesday through Wednesday morning sees the swell hanging around 5 ft to 6 ft, but the wind shifts to a cross-offshore, which takes a bit of the shine off. The forecast points to "marginal" conditions, so the quality isn't going to be top-tier. The swell period is still a nice 14-15 seconds, but the energy is moderate.

Then things get serious. Thursday morning the 6th of August, we see a jump in size to 7 ft from the SSW, with a 17-second period and a fresh offshore wind. The combined energy is a solid 2522. This is proper groundswell, and Dreamland is a beach and reef setup, so the long period might make it a bit walled-off and straight, but for the experienced surfer, the power will be there. This is a standout moment for the strong surfers.

Friday the 7th of August, the swell peaks. Morning has 8 ft, afternoon hits 8 ft, both from the SSW with periods of 16-17 seconds. The energy is monster – 3127 in the morning and 3566 in the afternoon. This is big, powerful stuff. The wind is cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but the size is only for experts. Anything over 8 ft is a serious paddle.

The next few days, from Saturday the 8th to Sunday the 9th, we have 7 ft to 8 ft SSW swell, with cross-offshore winds. The energy stays high, in the 2000s. It’s consistent, but the conditions are still in that "marginal" zone for quality.

Now, the real standout for the whole period, and I mean the one to circle on your calendar, is Monday the 10th of August in the afternoon. We get a 10 ft SSW swell with an 18-second period. The combined energy is a massive 4844. That’s a serious ocean. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore breeze. This is a big, powerful, long-period groundswell. For a beach and reef break, it will be heavy and take a lot of water moving. This is expert territory, no doubt. But for the crew that can handle it, this is the best day on offer.

Tuesday the 11th of August keeps the energy high, with 8 ft and 8 ft SSW swell, with 16-second periods and energy in the 3500-4000 range. The wind stays cross-offshore. It’s still a very strong swell, but slightly down from the peak.

The rest of the second week, from the 12th to the 18th of August, sees a slow drop in size. The swell stays between 6 ft and 8 ft, mostly from the SSW, with a brief switch to S on the 15th. The wind is always cross-offshore, and the conditions are consistently described as "clean" but "marginal" for quality. The energy is still strong, often in the 2000s and 3000s. The 13th of August afternoon has a 8 ft swell with an 18-second period and a massive 5110 energy reading, which is a huge number, but the wind is cross-offshore, so it’s not the cleanest.

The 16th of August sees a drop to 5 ft, and the 18th of August has a gentle breeze, but the swell is still solid at 6 ft. It’s a long run of fairly consistent, clean swell, but the quality is never quite perfect. The crowds at Dreamland are listed as "sometimes," so you might find some company, but it's not a madhouse.

To wrap it up, the best bet for the experienced surfer is the afternoon of the 10th of August, with that massive 10 ft, 18-second groundswell. For the slightly smaller, but still powerful days, the 11th of August is excellent. The rest of the period is a solid run of consistent, clean, but not perfect conditions.

This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
