Dreamland Surf Report and Spot Info

(more…)

We had a dreamy session at Dreamland early morning today! Shoulder high waves, clean and long, offered nice rides with plenty of room to perform basic manoeuvres. This is a wave where you can focus on the fundamentals of surfing.

Getting the basics right is essential for a fast and good progression of your surfing skills. Master takeoff, bottom and top turn and the rest will follow. Time and dedication are what it takes to step up your game. Here in Bali, with the consistency of having great waves every day, you can speed up the progress and get better quickly. One week of perfect waves, and two surf sessions a day will make all the difference for you and your surfing skills.

Heavy rain in the morning was a good reason for a lot of people to stay in bed today. But not for us! We got up early and had a great session at Dreamland just before the rain came. Because of that, there was hardly anyone else out in the line-up and we had most of the waves for ourselves.

The dry season is coming to an end and the wind direction is slowly changing. This means, the east side of the Bukit will be great soon and we are looking forward to surfing spots like Geger left and Nikko again. With glassy, wind-still conditions in the morning, there are countless surf breaks to choose from. It is time to explore and find some more uncrowded waves!

With the low tide early in the morning, there are only a handful of surf spots that are safe to surf. With the local knowledge of our surf instructors, finding these spots is no problem at all. Dreamland was the best choice today, the offshore wind shaped the head-high waves into a perfect A-frame.

Most days, the right-hander works better than the left. Due to the deepwater channel, the shoulder stays open nicely and offers plenty of room to do turns. If you are looking for a little cover-up, the left-hander is the better option, but be prepared to deal with a closeout section at the end. Either way, this wave is fun as hell and a great playground to improve your surfing skills.

The offshore wind has been strong the last couple of days but here on the Bukit, this only means better waves! This morning, Dreamland was great at low tide. The A-frame in the middle of the beach was the best peak to go to. Fun right and left-handers broke consistently over the reef.

We expect the swell to get bigger throughout the day and look forward to scoring more perfect waves in the afternoon. This is one of the great things about the Bukit at this time of year, you can surf all day long to the offshore wind. Combined with crystal clear water and white sand beaches, it is no wonder that Bali is one of the best surf destinations in the world.

What a great afternoon session our advanced group had today! Head-high waves were breaking perfectly at Dreamland beach. The right-handers were great to practice bottom and top turns as well as generating speed around the breaking section.

This wave is not the longest, but one of the most fun! The take-off is fast and the first section of the wall is quite steep, perfect for a committed top turn. This A-frame only breaks on a low tide. When the tide gets too high the waves almost disappear. Then, the shore break on the left side of the peak gets fun. Here you can practice other maneuvers like floaters and airs. Dreamland has something for everyone, and also for the sunseekers who prefer to stay on the beach.

The new swell has arrived and will keep getting bigger throughout the day. This morning it was still a good size for our advanced group to surf at Dreamland. The A-frame in the middle of the beach is so much fun!

We got lucky, the crowd was very light, probably because most people thought it would still be too small. Good for us, as we almost had the waves to ourselves. It is a great wave to surf if you are looking to take the next step forward in your surfing career. The take-off is quite fast and exhilarating while the shoulder of the wave slows down and you have time to focus on turning. A perfect mix of excitement, practice, and fun!

Dreamland definitely lived up to its name this morning! Clean, offshore wind conditions shaped the peak into a perfect A-Frame. On a low tide, this wave is super fun. The left is faster and a bit more hollow while the right invites you to do big button and top turns.

Splitting the peak with someone else in the line-up is the case almost every time a wave comes. This means the line-up spreads out and not everyone is sitting in the same spot. Great for everyone to catch more waves and have fun. It takes some commitment to catch the wave right at the peak. But when you do, the steep drop and big wall in front of you give you the best feeling. It is scary, sometimes, but more rewarding when you make the wave.
