The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Dreamland.

Honestly, the next week and a half is a bit of a grind. We’ve got swell, but it’s mostly a messy, cross-off wind affair that’s keeping things from truly firing. The water is sitting at 80°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no worries there. The real standout window is the very end of the run, a week and a half away, where things get interesting.

Starting off Friday the 17th, we’ve got a 5ft SW swell with a 15-second period, but that ESE wind at 15 mph is blowing cross-off, making it choppy. The combined energy is moderate (1196), but the conditions are just marginal. This theme holds through the weekend and into the next week. Saturday the 18th sees a bit more wind, 18 mph, but it’s offshore, which is a plus for the morning. The swell stays around 5ft from the SW, and the energy is still moderate (948). It’s a better bet than Friday, but still not a standout.

Monday the 20th brings a bump in size, with a 5ft SW swell in the morning and a 7ft SSW swell in the afternoon, with period up to 16 seconds. The energy jumps to strong (2283 in the afternoon). But that cross-off wind from the SE is still there, so it’s a bit of a tease. This pattern of moderate swell and cross-off breezes drags on right through to the end of July.

For the first week of August, we see a pulse of groundswell. On Friday the 31st of July, a 6ft SSW swell with an 18-second period rolls in, and the energy is very strong at 3120. By Saturday the 1st of August, we’re looking at 7ft SSW swell, still with a 17-second period and strong energy (2822). This is where the size gets serious – over 8ft, so this is expert territory only. The direction is SSW, which is spot-on for Dreamland’s optimum SW direction. The downside is the wind is still cross-off, not fully offshore, so it’s not perfect. This is the best-looking window, but it’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it.

The rest of the time, the surf is just okay. The winds are mostly cross-off, and the swell energy is moderate. There’s a long gap of poor conditions from the 23rd to the 25th of July, with zero-rated surf, so don’t bother paddling out then. The short period (8 seconds) swell that shows up on the 26th and 27th of July is more of a windswell, so it’ll be a bit weak and choppy.

So, the pick of the bunch? It’s the end of the month, specifically the 31st of July and the 1st of August. That’s when the size and period are there, but the wind is the only thing holding it back from being a true classic. It’s a “promising but not perfect” call.

Rusty out.

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.
