The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at this chart for Dreamland long enough to get a feel for the next couple of weeks. It’s a beach and reef set-up, suited for advanced crew, and it’s fairly consistent. Water temp is sitting around 80°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real call is Saturday afternoon, August 1st. The swell is 6ft from the SSW, period a juicy 18 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the ESE at 12 mph. That’s clean, long-period groundswell, and the energy is pumping at 2390. This is the standout for the first week—excellent conditions for experienced surfers, with that offshore wind making it glassy. It’s a bit too big for beginners, but for you guys, it’s a goer.

From Sunday morning, August 2nd, through to the end of the first week, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The swell stays between 5ft and 7ft, mostly from the SSW, with periods dropping to 14–17 seconds. The wind is cross-offshore from the ESE or SE, which keeps it clean, but the quality’s a bit marginal—tide or consistency might be playing tricks. The energy is moderate, around 1000–2500. Thursday morning, August 6th, and Friday morning, August 7th, have solid offshore wind again, but the swell is 7ft to 8ft, pushing towards expert-only territory. The energy jumps to 2541 and 3585, but it’s still labelled marginal.

Then there’s a gap of a few days with nothing spectacular, but hold on—Monday, August 10th, gets interesting. The morning has 6ft SSW swell, 14-second period, light cross-off wind, and energy at 2334. The afternoon is where it gets wild: 7ft SSW swell, 19-second period, energy at 4417. That’s groundswell with serious punch, and the wind is light cross-off. It’s for experienced surfers only, and it’s a top pick for the second week.

Tuesday, August 11th, pulls in a big 12ft SSW swell in the morning, with 17-second period and energy at 6499—that’s strong, powerful stuff. The wind is light cross-off, but at that size, it’s only for experts. The rest of the second week keeps the swell running, with 7ft to 12ft SSW swell, periods from 13 to 19 seconds, and energy staying in the 2000s to 7000s. The standouts are Saturday, August 15th, with 12ft SSW swell, 19-second period, and energy at 7740—the biggest of the run—and the afternoon of Thursday, August 13th, with 8ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and 5431 energy. Both are clean with cross-off wind, but they’re expert-only sizes.

Overall, the best on offer is that first Saturday afternoon, August 1st, with clean offshore wind and that 18-second groundswell. For the second week, Monday afternoon, August 10th, and Saturday, August 15th, are promising but less certain with the long-range call. Keep an eye on the tides and don’t be greedy—this place won’t let you down if you pick your moment.

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.
