The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk Dreamland.
We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way, but the first few days are a bit of a warm-up. The water is 80°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Action starts Sunday, August 30th, with a 4ft SSW swell, but it’s a cross-off breeze and the energy is moderate. It’s a start. Monday the 31st sees the swell bump to 4ft with a 18-second period, bringing some real groundswell energy, but the wind is still cross-off at 25 km/h. The energy is climbing through the moderate range.
Tuesday the 1st of September has a solid 7ft SSW swell with a 18-second period, and the energy is getting strong. But it’s still a cross-off. The first real standout is Wednesday the 2nd of September. The morning shows a 6ft SW swell, 16-second period, and finally an offshore wind from the ESE. The energy is strong and the conditions are clean. This is the first highlight.
The swell drops back to 5ft to 6ft through Thursday and Friday, but the cross-off wind returns, so the quality dips. The energy drops back to the moderate range.
The next big window opens on the 8th of September. Tuesday the 8th of September afternoon has a 7ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, and the energy is cranking. This is big. Wednesday the 9th of September morning is bigger: 8ft SSW, 16-second period, gentle breeze. The energy is massive. The absolute peak for experienced surfers is Thursday the 10th of September morning: 8ft SSW, 16-second period, light winds, and massive energy. This is the best of the whole forecast. Expect crowds.
The swell holds around 7ft to 8ft through the 12th, but with that cross-off wind again. The final standout is the 14th of September. Monday the 14th of September morning has a 6ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and a light breeze. The afternoon is even better with a light breeze making it glassy. This is a clean, classic day.
The call: The morning of the 10th of September is the one for the experts – that 8ft swell with light winds is the biggest and best. The 14th of September afternoon is the best for cleaner, slightly smaller waves. The 2nd of September morning is the best early call with that offshore wind.
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.
