The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break down what’s in the water. The next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a couple of windows that’ll get the heart pumping. The first week is pretty average with a lot of cross-off wind and just okay energy, but it builds towards the end of the month into something special.

We start off with a bit of a slow grind. From Friday the 17th right through to Wednesday the 22nd, the surf is there but it’s marginal. Swell heights are sitting around 5 ft to 5 ft, mostly from the SW, with a long period of 15 to 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, but the wind is a persistent ESE cross-off at 15-19 mph, which keeps things clean but not glassy. The energy is moderate to strong, with readings around 900 to 1200. It’s not terrible, but it’s not crying out to be paddled into. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.

Then Monday the 20th sees a bit of a jump. The swell nudges up to 7 ft from the SSW, with a period of 17 seconds and a combined energy of 2501 – that’s strong energy. The wind is still a cross-off, so it’s clean but not perfect. The swell is getting into that size where it’s more for the advanced crew, but it’s not quite a standout with the wind angle.

The real standout, the one you’d circle on the calendar, is Thursday the 31st of July. The morning shows a clean, glassy offshore from the ESE, only 15 mph, and the swell is 3 ft from the SSW. But the period is a whopping 22 seconds. That’s very long-period groundswell, and the combined energy is 2200 – strong. Because of that long period, this one is going to be a dream at Dreamland (beach and reef). It’s a fairly exposed spot that loves a SW swell, and with that offshore wind, the waves will be clean, lined up, and offering some proper shape. The 3 ft size keeps it accessible for most, but the power is real. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing to worry about.

The afternoon of the 31st gets a bit more size at 5 ft and the same 22-second period, but the wind swings more cross-off and picks up to 18 mph, so the morning is the pick of the day. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early.

Looking further ahead, Saturday the 1st of August shows a bigger 7 ft swell from the SW, with a 20-second period and energy of 4436 – that’s very strong. But the wind is a fresh ESE cross-off at 22 mph, so it’s going to be a bit of a battle. That one is for the experts only, and it’s a long way out, so don’t lock it in yet.

Between the 23rd and the 28th, there are a few days with poor surf or very low energy, so expect a bit of a lull in the middle of the week. The 29th of July morning has a gentle offshore and 5 ft swell, but it’s not quite the standout the 31st is.

For the kite crew, the days with strong cross-off wind and solid 7 ft+ swell, like the 1st of August, might look more interesting than a paddle.

So, to sum it up: the first week is workable but not memorable. The real gem is the morning of Thursday the 31st of July at Dreamland – clean, long-period groundswell, and offshore wind. That’s the one to chase.

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.
