Beginner Surf Lessons at Dreamland

Our beginner surfers had a lovely time at Dreamland this morning! On a low tide and in-between swells, the surfers found plenty of fun lefts on a particularly beautiful morning. Our instructors knew precisely where to take the surfers to avoid the dangerous shore break that catches many surfers unaware. The surfers loved the light offshore conditions, smooth sea state, and the sand beneath the waves. The surfers worked on getting to their feet in the functional stance, so they can glide down the smooth wave faces with control.

We have a new swell filling in today, which will produce solid, well-overhead surf at most breaks for the next several days. As a bonus, starting from Thursday, we will begin to see mornings with plenty of water on the reef.

Fun waves at Dreamland this morning! The surfers paddled out into what appeared to be small conditions; however, once the tide turned, head-high sets appeared with a few larger set waves coming in. The wind was not as strong as yesterday, but it was blowing steady offshore at first light. The 7:00 am low tide dropped to .2 meters this morning, which is a great tide for Dreamland. Our advanced group enjoyed the long lefts and the slower rights, and welcomed the drop in wave heights. The surfers worked on staying in the power source of the wave, which allows you to execute manoeuvres with more speed.

The swell will continue to drop through Monday before a new swell will begin to fill in on Tuesday and Wednesday. See you out there!

Pumping surf this morning as the new swell began to arrive earlier than expected. Some big sets were breaking at Uluwatu, while impossibles was pushing double-overhead high. With a .3 meter low tide and a pumping swell at first light, our surfers choose to paddle out to the A-frame peak at Dreamland. The set waves were pushing double-overhead with a light offshore breeze and smooth conditions. The A-frame was producing beautiful, smooth rights with faster lefts.

Dreamland is a great wave to increase your level of comfort when the swell picks up. The take-offs are easy, and you are rewarded with long rides. Additionally, if you are not near the impact zone at the peak, the waves break softer in deeper water, which reduces the consequences of getting caught inside.

Excellent surfing at Dreamland today! The swell has tapered off just enough to provide great surfing conditions! The A-frame peak was dishing out long lefts and friendly right-handers breaking just a little slower. The wind was blowing at a moderate strength from an offshore direction, as always this time of the year. The surfers enjoyed the head-high waves, warm water, and beautiful environment. The crew used the open faces to improve their bottom turns with a focus on optimizing foot placement, which is required to get the most out of your surfboard.

Dreamland is an excellent wave for intermediate and advanced surfers on a large swell and a low to mid-tide. On a high tide, the wave quality deteriorates as the reef becomes submerged at a depth too great to form good waves.

Today, our experienced surfers wasted no time and hit Dreamland at the crack of dawn, taking advantage of the morning low tide. At the nearby beach break, they were rewarded with impressive overhead A-frame lines, all under smooth and glassy conditions. Though challenging, the occasional double overhead cleanup sets added excitement for those in position outside. However, for those caught inside, it was a bit of a struggle. Despite intermittent rain and clouds, the wind held offshore, maintaining the glassy conditions throughout the session.

The remnants of yesterday’s big set waves were still visible this morning, but they’re gradually subsiding. Over the next two days, we anticipate a decrease in swell size. Yet, not to worry, as another long period, powerful swell is forecasted to arrive soon, restarting the cycle.

Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

Our Intermediate surfers had a delightful morning at the picturesque peaks of Dreamland just as the sun emerged from behind the Bukit Peninsula. The swell has dropped off considerably since the day before to a much more manageable size. The waves today came in at around the head-high range on the largest of sets. As always at this time of the year, Dreamland boasted a glassy ocean surface complemented by a gentle offshore breeze. The water showcased a stunning blue hue, a result of the white sand resting on the seafloor. Surfers focused on refining their technique, capitalizing on the mellow, elongated slopes of the waves to enhance balance and control.

Tomorrow, we have the first large swell of the season arriving. Grab a seat cliffside at Uluwatu and enjoy!

We’re stoked to report that a fresh swell has rolled in, bringing with it calm winds and sunny skies! Our intermediate group had a blast catching the low-tide peaks at Dreamland this morning. The waves have increased in size, reaching head-high on the set waves, thanks to a new 4.5 ft. swell with a period of 16 seconds coming from 218 degrees. The offshore wind provided ideal conditions, resulting in a smooth ocean surface. Surfers were treated to lengthy, pristine rides all the way to the shore.

Dreamland truly shines as a low-tide break when the swell grows larger in conjunction with a morning low tide. It’s no wonder Dreamland is one of the surf camp’s most beloved waves.

Our intermediate surfers set off to dreamland this morning, where they enjoyed a calm morning of mellow waves after yesterday’s pumping surf. At Dreamland, the surfers chose to surf the left as it offered longer lines and the wave was larger in size. There was not a drop of wind, and the surface of the ocean was smooth. The swell has dropped in size and consistency, leaving the surfers with a few shoulder-high set waves and long rides if you can connect the wave through to the shore break. The forecast reads 5 ft. At 14 seconds, but from the size of the surf, the pulse of swell must have come and gone yesterday.

Dreamland is a fun intermediate wave on a morning low tide and a medium swell. An early surf at dreamland pairs well with a second surf at Balangan after the tide rises.

Intermediate Surf Guiding at Dreamland

Our intermediate group left for Dreamland early this morning to catch the morning low tide. The swell has continued to drop however the set waves were still shoulder to head-high on the bigger sets. The early morning conditions were beautiful and the waves were clean. Our surfers had a great time challenging themselves on the faster waves!

Dreamland is an excellent low-tide wave when there is at least a moderate swell. There are fewer spots suitable for intermediates on a morning low tide however, catching fun waves while the crowd is still sleeping off their Bintangs is what we do here at the camp. The view from the lineup is very pretty as you look out towards the famous left-handers of the Bukit while waiting for waves. Additionally, the UV exposure is much lower before the sun comes out in full force.
