The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at the Dreamland forecast. It’s a bit of a mixed bag for the next couple of weeks, but there are some windows where it could get seriously good. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The surf starts rolling in on Wednesday the 5th, with a clean 6ft of SSW swell pushing through. It’s a bit cross-off with a moderate breeze, and the energy is already strong at 1459. The swell period is a solid 15 seconds, so it’s got some push, but the wave comment says it’s marginal, so we’ll have to see how the tide lines up. It’s not a total washout, but it’s not the day to cancel work.
Thursday the 6th sees the swell nudge up to 7ft, and the period jumps to 17 seconds. This is proper groundswell. The energy is climbing hard to 2513. The morning has a fresh offshore wind, which is ideal for keeping the faces clean. This is starting to look more interesting.
Then we get to Friday the 7th. The swell is 8ft from the SSW, and the period is still a very long 17 seconds. The energy is pumping at 3322. The morning offshore wind is moderate, and the comment flags it as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the first real standout. Dreamland is a beach and reef setup, so this long-period swell could be a bit straight at the beach, but the reef should handle it. It’s big, so it’s not for the beginners. This is your window if you know what you’re doing.
After Friday, it backs off a little through the weekend, settling into the 7ft to 8ft range with cross-off winds. Still clean, but the magic from Friday morning is gone. It’s surfable, but you’ll be working for it.
The next big pulse shows up on Monday the 10th. The morning is a bit rainy, but the afternoon swell jumps to 10ft with a 19-second period. The energy is huge at 6521. The wind is cross-off, but at that size, it’s going to be a serious, heavy day. This is definitely expert territory. The period is so long, it might be breaking a bit too straight at the beach break, so look for the reef to get the better shape.
Tuesday the 11th keeps the 10ft size, but the period drops a bit. Still a lot of water moving. The energy is up there at 5580. It’s powerful, but it’s on the edge of being a handful.
The middle of the week backs down to a more manageable 7ft to 7ft, with the period dropping to 14-15 seconds. It’s cleaner, but the energy is weaker. The winds are light and cross-off, so it might be a bit softer and more user-friendly.
The following week, the pattern is a bit more up and down. There’s a nice-looking window on Friday the 14th, with a 7ft swell and a 16-second period, and the wind is a gentle breeze. It’s clean and should offer some decent waves.
The 18th and 19th look like the biggest days of the whole run. The 18th afternoon jumps back up to 10ft with a 19-second period, and the energy rockets to 9196. That’s a massive amount of power. The 19th morning pushes it further to 12ft. This is proper, heavy, expert-only surf. The winds are moderate cross-off, but with that much energy, it’s going to be a washing machine. For a beach and reef break, this could be more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle-surfing one, unless you’re truly elite.
The 20th still has solid 10ft surf in the morning, but the afternoon drops to 8ft with a gentle cross-off breeze and a good comment for experienced surfers. That’s probably the pick of that final stretch.
So, to be honest, there are two clear standouts: Friday morning the 7th and the swell arriving on Monday the 10th. The former is big and clean, the latter is huge and powerful. If you’re an experienced surfer, those are your days. For everyone else, there’s plenty of surfable, but less perfect, waves scattered throughout. Keep an eye on the long-range stuff for the 18th and 19th, but treat that as a promising idea, not a certainty.

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.
