The Lowdown
Right, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Dreamland.
Alright, so this stretch is lookin’ like a long, slow burn rather than a sudden blast. We’ve got a solid run of south-west groundswell pushing in, but don’t get too excited just yet – the early days are all a bit average. The whole first week is plagued by a moderate cross-off breeze out of the southeast, which isn’t ideal. It’s not blowing you off the face, but it’s messin’ with the shape. Most of this period is flagged as marginal, so you’re really waitin’ for conditions to align.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.
The real standout window starts to show on Wednesday the 9th and runs through to Friday the 11th. Morning sessions on the 9th see the swell bumpin’ up to 8 ft from the SSW with a period of 16 seconds, and the energy reading is pumpin’ at 2859 (moderate to strong energy). The winds finally ease off to a gentle breeze. The data’s callin’ it excellent for experienced surfers, and with those clean, lined-up walls, this is where you want to be. The swell direction is a sweet match for Dreamland’s preferred SW angle, too.
Later on, Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th of September also look promising. You’re gettin’ similar size (7 ft to 8 ft, SSW) and, while the wind is a touch firmer, it’s still cross-off. The energy stays strong, in the 2300 to 2800 range. This is the second bite of the apple for the crew who can wait.
The crowd factor at Dreamland is listed as ‘sometimes’, so on these better days, expect a few locals out, but it’s not a zoo.
So if you’re an advanced surfer, pencil in the morning of Wed 9th through Fri 11th as your top pick, with Thursday 17th and Friday 18th as a solid backup. The gear? You’ll need a step-up or a solid shortboard for that 7 ft+ groundswell. This isn’t beginner territory; anything over 5 ft is pushin’ it for learners, and we’re well past that.
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.
