Dreamland - surf spot statistics

Dreamland, Indonesia, is a consistent surf spot with year-round swell activity, primarily dominated by ground swells (92–100%) and minimal wind swell interference. The best months for surfing are April, October, and November, when excellent swell energy meets favorable wind conditions. April stands out with 100% ground swell, an average swell size of 1.6m, and the highest likelihood of good winds (60%). October and November also offer strong ground swell presence (99–98%), a moderate swell size (1.5–1.8m), and good wind probabilities of 67% and 62%, respectively. These months provide clean, organized waves with minimal onshore wind disruption. The mid-year period (June–August) delivers larger swells (2.0–2.2m) but suffers from poor wind conditions (68–78% unfavorable), making it less ideal despite the wave power. March, May, and September are decent transitional months, balancing swell quality and wind, though less consistent than the peak periods. The early (January–February) and late (December) months have solid swell but suffer from strong onshore winds (74–85% unfavorable). Overall, April, October, and November are prime for surfers seeking the best combination of swell and wind conditions at Dreamland.

Dreamland in May offers solid surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.8m and a long 14.6s period, ensuring powerful, well-formed waves. The swell predominantly comes from the SSW and SW directions, producing rideable waves (1-2.5m) around 73% of the time, with the best energy in the 1.5-2.5m range. However, wind can be a mixed bag—while 44% of days see favorable offshore or light winds for clean conditions, the ESE and SE directions dominate, bringing stronger onshore winds (10-30kph) that can chop up the surface. This means mornings often provide the cleanest sessions before winds pick up. Overall, expect consistent, punchy waves with mid-sized to overhead heights, but timing is key to avoid wind-affected conditions. Advanced surfers will thrive, especially on days with lighter winds and the longer-period SW swells.
