The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Dreamland.
The next 16 days are looking pretty special for the experienced crew, with a solid, consistent run of SSW groundswell that keeps building and pulsing through the whole period. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so don’t expect any surprises when you jump in.
Kicking off on Monday August 3rd, we’ve got a clean 6 ft SSW swell rolling in with a 15-second period, and light offshore winds in the morning. The combined energy is already pumping (1465), and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon picks up a bit more wind from the ESE at 16 mph, keeping that offshore feel, and the swell holds at 5 ft. This is a cracking start.
Tuesday and Wednesday see the swell dip slightly to around 5 ft to 6 ft, but the period stays long. The wind shifts to a cross-off, which is still clean, but the forecast suggests the quality is less certain. Still, with that consistent long-period groundswell, it’ll be a good paddle.
Now, the real standout arrives on Thursday August 6th. The swell jumps to 7 ft, the period stretches to 17 seconds, and we’ve got a fresh offshore breeze in the morning. Energy is pushing into the strong range (2513). This is proper groundswell – it’s going to be powerful and clean, but at this size, it’s for the advanced crew only. The wave shape will be excellent, though the long period might make it a bit straight at the beach, so look for the points and reefs.
The swell builds further into Friday and Saturday August 7th-8th, hitting 8 ft to 8 ft with periods of 16-17 seconds. The offshore winds are back on Saturday morning, making for some of the best, most powerful waves of the run. Energy is very strong (3143 and 3635). This is big, serious surf.
The following week, from August 10th onward, the swell keeps pumping, with a monster pulse on Monday August 10th afternoon hitting 10 ft with an 18-second period and a massive 4687 energy reading. Then again on Thursday August 13th, we see another 10 ft pulse with similar energy (5600). These are huge, powerful, and only for the experts. The winds stay predominantly cross-off, keeping it clean, but at this size, the paddle out is going to be a mission.
The final few days, from August 15th to 18th, the swell slowly backs off, but it’s still a solid 4 ft to 8 ft with long periods. The wind picks up a bit, becoming a fresher breeze, but the surf remains clean and rideable.
Overall, Dreamland is the spot to be. It’s a beach and reef setup, so the long-period swells will find the best lines, and crowds are possible on the better days. The absolute best of the best is that Thursday August 6th morning, with the fresh offshore and building swell, and the massive pulse on Thursday August 13th. Don’t miss it.
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.
