The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Dreamland over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag to start, but there’s some serious potential hiding in the long range.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days from Sunday the 26th through the start of the week are pretty ordinary. On Sunday morning, we’re looking at a solid 8ft of swell from the SE, but it’s being hammered by a fresh 19 mph offshore wind. That gives us clean waves, but the energy is all over the place (combined energy of 1710 – moderate to strong). That SE direction isn’t quite what we want for Dreamland, which prefers a SW direction. Conditions look marginal, so don’t get too excited. Sunday afternoon gets a bit smaller at 7ft, but the wind swings cross-offshore and those rain showers don’t help. Monday is a write-off; the swell drops to 7ft with a strong offshore wind at 25 mph. It’s clean, but it’s going to be a battle to paddle into anything at 8 seconds of period. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddler’s dream.
From Tuesday the 28th to Wednesday the 29th, the swell drops right off to under 4ft. The period jumps up to 14 to 16 seconds, which is a nice long groundswell, but the size is tiny, and the wind stays cross-offshore. Combined energy is in the 600-850 range – weak. You’ll be waiting around for the rare set.
Then we hit a bit of a lull. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st see the swell slowly building back, but we’re still talking about 4ft to 5ft. The real highlight here is Friday morning the 31st. The wind goes light offshore from the ESE at 12 mph, the swell hits 4ft with a lovely 17-second period from the SSW, and the combined energy jumps to 1483 – that’s moderate energy, but that period is gold. Those waves are going to hold up nicely on the reef. This is the first real standout window for experienced guys. The water temp is 80°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first week of August keeps things ticking over. Saturday the 1st through Monday the 3rd sees a consistent 5ft to 6ft of SSW groundswell with periods of 15-16 seconds. The wind is still cross-offshore, but it’s lighter. Combined energy is in the 1400-1900 range. It’s clean, it’s consistent, but nothing is really screaming “epic.” Crowds can be sometimes at Dreamland, so you might have to share.
Now, for the real meat. Look at the 10th of August. Monday the 10th, we’ve got a 10ft SSW swell with a 16-second period. The combined energy is a staggering 4183 in the morning and 5377 in the afternoon. That’s very strong wave energy. Wind is light from the SE at 9-12 mph, keeping it cross-offshore and clean. This is the standout of the whole forecast. It’s big, it’s powerful, and it’s long-period groundswell. That said, for a beach-and-reef break, that 16-second period might make it a bit straight and closey out on the beach sections, but on the reef, that’s going to be a freight train. This is for experienced surfers only – 10ft is well into expert territory. It’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but if this holds, Dreamland is going to be firing.
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.
