The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Dreamland. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the cards, but it’s not all perfect. The water is sitting at 26°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real action kicks off on Thursday the 27th of August. It’s a bit of a slow start with a 4ft south-west swell pushing in, period hanging around 16 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, which means it’ll have some proper energy behind it, but the combined energy reads 1330 (moderate) – not weak, not huge. It’s a bit of a tease, but the wind is a cross-off from the ESE, keeping things clean. Not the standout, but it gets the ball rolling.

Friday the 28th is where the excitement starts building. The swell jumps to 8ft from the SSW, still with that lovely 16-second period. The combined energy hits 3633 (strong) in the morning, and the afternoon is still pumping at 3049 (strong). This is proper groundswell. The wind stays cross-off, so the waves will be holding their shape. That’s excellent surf, but at 8ft, it’s getting into the territory where only experienced surfers should be out. This is one of the true standouts of the whole run.

Saturday the 29th follows up nicely. The swell drops a touch to 6ft from the SSW, period 15 seconds. Energy is still strong at 1534. The wind is a light breeze from the SE, making for some really clean, lined-up waves. This is another top pick – the wind is light, the swell is solid, and the conditions are sweet. It’s a great day for a surfer who knows what they’re doing.

Sunday the 30th sees the swell fade a bit, down to 5ft, and the period drops to 13 seconds. Energy is weakening (891), and the wind picks up to a moderate breeze. It’s still surfable and clean, but the magic is fading.

We’ve got a long gap here – from Monday the 31st right through to the end of the first week of September. The swell is all over the place, mostly 4ft to 7ft, but the wind is a moderate to fresh breeze from the ESE and SE, and the combined energy is moderate to strong. The problem is, the surf quality is described as marginal. It’s not terrible, but it’s not firing. There’s one moment on Wednesday the 2nd of September where the wind turns offshore from the ESE, and the swell is 6ft from the SW with a 16-second period – that’s a clean, moderate offshore session, but it’s still only for the experienced crew.

The second week is a bit of a mixed bag. From the 5th of September, the swell picks up again to 6ft from the SSW, but the period is shorter (14 seconds), and the wind is cross-off. Energy is moderate. The 10th and 11th of September look promising again with 6ft and 6ft SSW swells, period 15 seconds, and light winds. That’s a good sign for the second weekend, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.

Overall, the best of the best is Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th. That’s the big, clean, long-period groundswell with offshore-friendly winds. If you’re an experienced surfer, those are your days. The rest of the window is a waiting game, but the forecast is optimistic – it’s not the kind of stretch that stays flat for long.

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.
