The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into the only game in town for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got one spot on the radar for the whole 16-day window, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The swell is hanging around, but the wind is the real chatter. It’s mostly a cross-off breeze from the southeast, which is good for keeping the surf clean, but it’s also fresh and strong, so it’s not going to be perfect. The water is sitting at 80°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no wetsuit dramas.
The first real chance to get wet isn’t until Saturday morning, July 25th. That’s nearly a week away from the start of the period. We’ve got a few days of marginal surf before that, but nothing worth getting excited about.
Dreamland is the only break on offer here. It’s a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed to the swell, and it likes the swell from the southwest. The standout period is from Saturday, July 25th, through to Sunday, August 2nd.
For the best of it, I’m looking at Saturday morning, July 25th. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the SSW, with a 15-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is offshore from the ESE, so the face will be clean. The combined swell energy is strong at 1079. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and lined up. This is a tricky break, rated for advanced surfers, so if you’re a beginner, give it a miss. It can get crowded here sometimes, so get in early.
The next real highlight is Sunday, August 2nd. That morning we’ve got a 6ft swell from the SW, with a 15-second period, and the wind is offshore again from the ESE. The combined energy is very strong at 1480. This is a bit bigger, and again, it’s an advanced-only wave. The long period means it’ll be a bit more powerful and will hold up better on the reef. It’s a promising option, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecast.
For the rest of the period, from Monday, August 3rd, the swell drops off and the wind stays cross-off, so the quality fades. The last few days on Tuesday, August 4th, are a write-off with poor conditions.
So, to sum it up: the best windows are the morning of July 25th and the morning of August 2nd. Clean, offshore, groomed swell. The rest is a lot of background noise. Don’t expect a crowd-free session, but the waves will be there for those who can handle it.
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.
