The Lowdown
Hey folks, let's get into it. The next couple weeks are a bit of a slow cooker, but there’s some serious meat on the bone later on. We’ve got a consistent push of SSW groundswell, and if you pick your moments, you’ll be rewarded.
The first few days are pretty average. Tuesday and Wednesday are surfable, but nothing to get too worked up about. We’re looking at chest-high sets around 5ft to 6ft with a 14 to 15 second period. Winds are cross-offshore from the ESE, which keeps things clean enough, but the energy is just moderate. The tide might mess with you a little, so you’ll need to know the banks.
Thursday is where it starts to pick up. The swell jumps to a solid 7ft, and the period stretches out to a nice, long 17 seconds. The energy is building, and the morning wind is a true offshore from the ESE. It’s going to be glassy at Dreamland. This is when it starts to get fun. The waves have some grunt, but that long period might make it a bit walled at the beach, but the reef sections will be working.
The weekend through Sunday is a solid run. We’re looking at consistent 7ft to 8ft waves with that 16-17 second period. Winds stay favorable, keeping the surface clean. Energy is strong, and the surf is solidly overhead. It’s getting beefy, so it’s for the crew who are ready to charge. Friday afternoon has a peak in energy, so that’s a good session to aim for.
Now, Monday the 10th is the one. The morning is still fun, but the afternoon is the standout. The swell jumps to a solid 10ft with an 18 second period and energy readings that are off the charts. This is big, powerful surf. It’s going to be heavy, pushy, and strictly for the experts. The direction is perfect for Dreamland, and the wind is clean. This is the one to mark on the calendar. The following Tuesday keeps the size up, but the peak of this swell is definitely Monday afternoon.
After that, things settle down a bit. The rest of the second week is a run of solid, clean surf, with waves staying in the 6ft to 8ft range. The winds stay mostly cross-offshore, and the period stays in that sweet spot.
There’s one more kick to finish it all off. On Monday the 17th, we see another surge in energy, with waves reaching 8ft and a long 18-20 second period. It’s another strong pulse, but it’s further out, so it’s promising but not a guarantee. The following Wednesday morning has a proper offshore wind forecast, which will have Dreamland looking perfect.
So for most of you, the Tuesday the 11th and Monday the 17th are the big days. But the real standout is Monday afternoon the 10th. That’s the biggest, most powerful swell with the cleanest wind. If you can handle it, don’t miss it.

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.
