The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks. We’re focused on a solid run of swell, but it’s going to be a bit of a mixed bag for the average punter.

We kick off from Monday, September 7th, with a clean but tricky setup. The swell is there, coming in from the SSW at around 7 ft to 7 ft, with a nice long period of 14 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is massive – reading over 2000 (2003). The water is sitting at a warm 80°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no wetsuit needed. The catch is the wind. It’s a cross-off from the SE at 12 mph, which keeps the surface clean but locks you into a bit of a side-bite. This makes the wave a bit more challenging to navigate, especially as the swell is pushing over 7 ft, pushing it out of the beginner zone. This is a setup for experienced surfers at Dreamland. The swell ticks up to 8 ft on Wednesday, September 9th, with lighter winds in the afternoon (9 mph), and that’s when you’ll see the best shape of the early week. The period stretches to 16 seconds, meaning long, powerful lines that will stand up nicely on the reef.

The real standout, though, is way out there on the horizon. Tuesday, September 22nd, is the one to circle in your calendar. We’re looking at an exceptional pulse of energy. The morning sees a 10 ft SSW swell with a 20-second period; the combined energy is a staggering 9187. The wind is light from the SE at just 6 mph, which is about as glassy as you’ll get. This is expert-only territory. It’s a very long period groundswell, which means the sets will be big, powerful, and spaced out – perfect for a well-groomed reef or point setup like Dreamland, where the line-up will hold. The afternoon goes even bigger, with 12 ft waves and a 19-second period, hitting 9875 in energy. It’s a short window of pure, raw power for the brave. The cross-off wind from the SSE at 9 mph will keep it clean, but you’ll need your wits about you.

The rest of the two weeks is a steady diet of 5 ft to 8 ft SSW swell, with the wind staying cross-off most of the time. It’s consistent, but the quality is marginal for the most part due to the wind angle. For a few days around September 18th and 19th, the winds drop to a gentle breeze, and the swell comes back up to 8 ft to 8 ft, giving a solid run of clean, powerful surf for the experienced crew. The water remains warm, the crowds are a possibility at Dreamland, so get in early.

To sum it up: the early days are solid but a bit fighty. The absolute gold is that Tuesday the 22nd – a massive, clean groundswell that’s a true standout for the experts. Don’t sleep on that forecast.

Rusty.

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.
