The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk Dreamland, our only break on the menu for this stretch. The water temp is sittin’ around 79°F, which feels pretty standard for this time of year – just a fraction off the long-term average. No major temperature drama there.

The whole 16-day window has surf, but don’t go gettin’ too excited just yet. Most of it is workable rather than magic. The first real standout pops up right away on Friday, September 11th. Friday morning, we’ve got a clean 6ft SW groundswell rolling in with a long 16-second period straight outta the south-west. That’s a proper groundswell – it’ll have some serious push and shape, but with that period, the sets will be spaced out. It’s a beach and reef setup, so it won’t be breakin’ too straight, which is good. The wind’s a moderate offshore from the ESE, makin’ for a tidy face. The combined energy is cranked up to 1865 – that’s solid, strong wave energy for sure. This is for experienced surfers only – at 6ft, it’s pushin’ into the ‘too big for beginners’ zone. Crowds are “sometimes” a thing here, so keep an eye out.

After that, the surf hangs around but gets a bit more ordinary – a lot of cross-off wind and mixed conditions. The tide and swell combo aren’t quite clickin’ for the rest of the week. Then we hit a pretty big lull over the 18th and 19th, with the swell droppin’ down to just 4 to 5ft and weak energy readings of 841 to 791. Feels flat and a bit meh.

But then the second week kicks off with a proper building pulse. Sunday the 20th sees the swell jump back to 6ft with that strong energy of 1862, and by Tuesday the 22nd into the 24th, it’s gettin’ serious – up to 8ft of SW groundswell. The combined energy on the 22nd is a massive 3900, and on the 26th it hits a big 3983 – that’s very strong wave energy. This is expert territory: 8ft to 8ft with a 15-17 second period. The wind stays gentle breeze and cross-off, keepin’ the surface clean enough. The late September window on the 23rd, 24th, and 26th mornings are all flagged as excellent for experienced surfers. If you’ve got the skills and the nerve, that’s where the real juice is. Just be warned – that bigger stuff will be proper heavy.

So to wrap it up: Dreamland’s got a solid run. The pick of the bunch is that first day, Friday September 11th morning, with clean offshore conditions and a strong groundswell. The second best is that big swell window around the 23rd to 26th of September, but it’s not quite as clean. For the long-range stuff, it’s promising, but a little less certain – keep an eye on the wind as we get closer.

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.
