The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles.
The water is 80°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
First off, the surf rolls in from Wednesday the 29th. Swell is around 4ft from the SSW, with a solid period of 14 to 15 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The combine energy is moderate to strong (811 to 1532). The wind is a cross-off from the ESE at 15 to 18 mph, so it’s clean but a bit breezy. Not a standout, but surfable.
Through the end of July and into the first weekend of August, the swell picks up to 5ft to 7ft, with a period of 15 to 18 seconds. The energy pushes into strong territory (1682 to 2427). The wind settles to 9 to 12 mph from the SE, still cross-off. This is the better window early on, cleaner and more powerful.
The real standout arrives in the second week. By the 6th of August, we’re looking at 8ft SSW with a 17-second period. Energy is 2918. The wind is cross-off at 15 mph. This is big, serious groundswell. Over 8ft, it’s expert territory.
The peak is Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th of August. On the 11th afternoon, the swell hits 10ft, period 20 seconds, energy 9579. Wednesday morning sees 13ft, period 19 seconds, energy 10772. This is a massive, high-energy pulse. At Dreamland, a beach and reef spot, that long period will make the beach sections fast and straight, but the reef will handle it. This is expert-only, and it’s the best of the lot. The wind holds cross-off, so it’s clean, but it’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it.
After that, the swell drops to 8ft to 10ft through the 13th and 14th, still solid and clean. Crowds can be a factor at Dreamland sometimes, but with that size, there’s plenty of room.
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.
