The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Dreamland.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid run of groundswell from the SSW pushing through the whole forecast. The issue is the wind. For the first week and a half, it’s mostly a cross-off breeze from the ESE to SE, which keeps the surface clean but doesn’t give us that perfect offshore glass. The real standout is a window that opens up on the afternoon of Sunday, the 2nd of August. That’s when we see a 7ft SSW groundswell (period 16 seconds) meet a light offshore wind from the ESE. The combined energy is strong (2174), and the conditions are labelled as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s your best bet in the near term – clean, decent size, and that long period will wrap nicely into Dreamland’s reef and beach setup.
The swell builds further through the first week of August, with solid 7ft to 8ft SSW swell, but the wind stays stubbornly cross-off or even cross-shore at times. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Now, the real heavyweight is waiting for us in the second week. On Thursday, the 13th of August, the swell jumps – morning sees 10ft SSW at 18 seconds, and the energy is massive (6559). By Friday morning, the 14th of August, it’s a 13ft SSW groundswell with a 19-second period, and the combined energy is off the charts at 12190. The wind is a gentle breeze from the SE, still cross-off, but at that size, Dreamland is strictly for experts. The wave energy is exceptional, and it’s rated as a 9 out of 10 internally, so this is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on the forecasts, but if it holds, you won’t find a better day in this window.
In between, there’s a lot of consistent, clean, 4ft to 6ft SSW swell, but the wind never quite delivers perfection. The late July and early August days are fun but not firing. The 2nd of August afternoon is the standout in the first week, and the 14th of August is the big one to aim for.
Crowds at Dreamland can be a factor sometimes, and with this much swell coming, expect company on the better days.
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.
