The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get this out there. First up, the good stuff. We’ve got a solid run of surf starting Thursday the 27th, and it’s gonna be a nice little stretch. The water is sitting at 80°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, no drama there.

We’re looking at Dreamland (Dreamland). It’s a beach and reef set-up, and it’s fairly consistent, which I like. The swell is coming from the SSW, and the direction is right in line with what this place wants. It’s not gonna be a clean slate for beginners, though. Friday the 28th brings the biggest push, with waves hitting 8ft. That’s getting into the territory where only the experienced crew should be out there. The period is a long 16 seconds, so there’s plenty of push behind it. The energy is strong too, with a reading of 3499. It’s gonna be a proper session for those who know what they’re doing, with a clean, cross-off breeze.

Thursday afternoon is a good warm-up, with 5ft waves and a 15-second period. The energy is moderate but building at 2315. It’s clean out there, but the notes say the tide might be a bit iffy. Friday afternoon looks like the real standout for the experienced surfer. Still 8ft, but the energy drops slightly to 3261, and it’s clean with a gentle breeze. This is the one to circle on the calendar.

Saturday the 29th is still fun. Morning has 6ft waves and 1534 energy, with a light breeze keeping it glassy. The period is a solid 15 seconds. Afternoon drops a bit to 4ft, but it’s still clean and the energy is at 1297. It’s all rideable, but the punch is fading.

Sunday the 30th is a step down. Waves around 5ft in the morning and 4ft in the afternoon. The energy drops to around 976-1013. It’s still clean, but it’s getting a bit weaker. The wind is up to a moderate 20 km/h, so it’s a bit more textured.

Then Monday the 31st brings a change. The swell drops to 4ft in the morning, but the period jumps to 18 seconds. This is a long-period groundswell. It’s clean with a moderate offshore wind. The energy is moderate at 1362. This kind of swell can be tricky at a beach break, but at a reef and beach set-up like Dreamland, there could be some nice lines. The afternoon bumps up to 6ft with the same 18-second period and 1889 energy, but the wind goes cross-off. This is a good day to be out there, with the potential for some quality waves.

After that, it settles into a more average pattern. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd have waves around 7ft, but the period drops to 16-18 seconds, and the energy is moderate to strong. The wind is a consistent 25 km/h cross-off. It’s surfable, but the clean, punchy conditions of Friday are gone. It’s a bit more work for less reward.

From Thursday the 3rd onwards, the swell slowly fades. We go from 5ft down to 4ft by Friday the 4th. Energy drops off a cliff, down to 644. It’s small and weak. There’s a little bump over the weekend of the 5th and 6th, with waves back up to 5ft-6ft and energy around 1000-1400, but the period is just 14 seconds. It’s still clean, but it’s not the same quality as the first few days.

The second week is more of the same. It’s not flat, but it’s been a long run of average conditions. The waves stay in the 4ft to 6ft range, with energy mostly under 1500. The winds are mostly moderate cross-off. There’s a glimpse of something on the 10th of September, with a long 18-second period and 5ft waves in the afternoon, but the energy is just 1455. It might have some juice, but it’s far out and less certain.

Look, the standout here is unmissable: Friday the 28th. Big swell, long period, and clean conditions. For the more experienced surfer, that’s your day. Saturday morning is also a cracker, a bit smaller but still with a long period and light winds. After that, it’s a waiting game for the next pulse.

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.
