The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Alright, the outlook for Dreamland is a long, drawn-out run of consistent, solid SSW groundswell. We’re looking at a stretch that kicks off on Wednesday, August 12th, and just keeps on giving right through the 16-day window. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout period is the first week, from Wednesday the 12th through to the end of the weekend on Sunday the 16th. The swell is pumping in the 7 ft to 8 ft range with a long period of 15 to 17 seconds, packing a ton of energy (combined energy values consistently over 2000, hitting up to 3894). This is proper groundswell, so Dreamland, being a beach and reef setup, will have some real power. The wind is a constant cross-off from the ESE to SE, which will keep the faces clean, but it’s a moderate breeze (12 to 15 mph), so it’s not glassy. Still, with that much long-period swell, the shape will be there. At 8 ft, this is getting into territory that’s more for experienced surfers.
The following week, from the 17th on, the swell dips a little. Monday the 17th sees smaller waves around 5 ft to 5 ft, but the energy is still moderate (over 1000). Then it builds back up nicely. The real highlight of the second week is Thursday, August 20th. The morning session shows a 8 ft SSW swell, a 16-second period, and the wind goes properly offshore from the ESE at 15 mph. The combined energy is a massive 3832, and the forecast calls it excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the one to put a pin in.
Later in the second week, the swell gets big again. Saturday, August 22nd, shows 10 ft waves from the SW. That’s big, expert-only territory. The energy is through the roof (4306), but the wind is cross-off, not clean offshore. Further out on Wednesday, August 26th, we get a lighter breeze (6 mph) from the SE with a 6 ft SSW swell, which will be a much more relaxed, cleaner day.
The best bet on offer? Look to Thursday morning, August 20th, for that sweet spot of a strong offshore wind, a solid 8 ft SSW groundswell, and top-tier energy. That’s the one.
Rusty out.

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.
