The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I won’t sugarcoat it – for the next couple of weeks, Dreamland’s got a steady pulse of surf, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a solid run of swells rolling in from the south-west, but the wind and tide are going to call the shots. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is about average for this time of year, so no drama there.

Starting off Saturday the 12th, we see a clean 5ft SW swell with a 14-second period pushing in, but the morning is blown out by a cross-off ESE breeze at 12 mph. Combined wave energy is strong (1727), but the conditions are just marginal. Afternoon cleans up as the wind turns offshore, still 16 mph, and the swell drops a notch to 5ft, but the waves look better – clean and offshore.

Sunday the 13th sees a jump in size – 6ft in the morning, building to 7ft in the afternoon, both from the SW. The period stretches to 17–18 seconds, proper groundswell, but the wind stays cross-off from the SE at 16 mph. There’s plenty of energy (2565–2635), but the conditions aren’t quite locking in. Monday the 14th is your first real standout. Early morning, offshore wind from the ESE at 16 mph, 6ft SW swell at 16 seconds – that’s excellent for experienced surfers. Wave energy is strong (1566), and the ride is going to be clean and powerful. The afternoon falls off a bit with cross-off wind, so get on it early.

Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th keep the SW swell going at 5ft to 6ft, but the wind is mostly cross-off. Wednesday morning, though, has that offshore ESE breeze at 12 mph, with a 6ft SSW swell and 15-second period – expect very good conditions again, especially for the experienced crew.

The rest of the week drifts along – Thursday and Friday the 18th see the swell ease a bit (4ft to 6ft), with gentle breezes and cross-off winds. Saturday the 19th picks up again, with a clean 5ft SW swell and 14-second period, combined energy around 1093–1265. It’s good, but not a standout.

Now, listen up. Sunday the 20th is the big day. Swell jumps to 8ft from the SW, with a 16-second period in the morning and 15-second in the afternoon. Combined energy is punching hard at 2692 – strong stuff. Winds are cross-off from the SE at 12 mph. This is expert-only territory – too big for beginners, and with that long period, it’ll be breaking a bit straight at Dreamland’s beach-and-reef setup. Better for the experienced guys who can handle the power. It stays solid through Monday the 21st (6ft SW), with another offshore window on Monday afternoon that cleans it up nicely.

The second week fades a bit. Tuesday the 22nd to Friday the 25th, swells drop to 4ft–7ft, mostly cross-off winds, and the energy sits in the moderate-to-strong range (825–2068). There’s a pulse on Wednesday the 23rd with 7ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, but the cross-off wind holds it back from being epic. Final weekend, Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th, has a bit of a bounce – 4ft to 6ft SSW swell, with a very long period of 18 seconds on Saturday afternoon (1115 energy). That groundswell will want a point or reef to shine, so Dreamland’s beach break might be a bit wonky.

Best call of the run? Monday the 14th morning without a doubt – offshore wind, solid 6ft SW groundswell, and clean conditions. For the risk-takers, Sunday the 20th offers the biggest swell, but it’s for experts only.

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.
