Dreamland Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk Dreamland in feet and miles per hour.

Right off the bat, Saturday the 11th has some southwest groundswell pushing through – around 5 to 6 feet with a 14-second interval, and the combined energy is strong (1379). But that cross-off wind from the ESE at about 16 mph is putting a bit of a chop on the surface. It’s surfable but you’ll be fighting for the clean ones at a beach and reef spot that’s fairly exposed to that SW swell.

Sunday the 12th cleans up. Swell drops to about 3 feet from the SW at 13 seconds, but we get offshore wind from the ESE at 12 mph. The energy is moderate (471) but that offshore flow will make the lines look sweet. Early session is the go.

Monday the 13th brings a strange long-period pulse – only 2 feet but at a massive 23 seconds from the SSW, energy around 647. Morning offshore wind (ESE at 16 mph) will keep it clean, but it’s small and fickle. Could be a few really nice runners if you’re patient.

The swell builds through midweek. Tuesday the 14th goes from 6 feet to nearly 7 feet from the SSW, period 17–18 seconds. Strong energy (2772). This is getting into bigger stuff – over 5 feet starts to push beginners out. The wind stays cross-off from the SE at 16 mph. Not perfect, but powerful.

Wednesday the 15th holds around 7 feet with similar wind, plus rain showers, so a bit grim.

From Thursday the 16th to Saturday the 19th, we get a lull – waves between 4 and 5 feet, period dropping to 13–16 seconds, and moderate cross-off breezes. Nothing special.

The standout is Tuesday the 21st. Swell around 6 feet from the SSW at 15 seconds, energy strong at 1736, but the wind eases to a light breeze from the ESE at 6 mph. The call is "excellent conditions for experienced surfers". This is the best window – big enough for power, clean enough for precision.

Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd both have glassy mornings. Wednesday has zero wind, 4 feet SSW at 13 seconds (energy 995). Thursday the 23rd has 5 feet from the SE but only 8 seconds – short-period, less punch, but glassy conditions (0 wind in the morning) make it fun.

The last few days (24th to 26th July) drop to smaller, clean surf – around 3 to 3 feet – with offshore or cross-off breezes. Sunday the 26th morning has a nice 3 foot SW swell at 15 seconds with offshore ESE wind at 9 mph.

Overall: Tuesday 21st July morning is the best for experienced surfers, and if you want glassy perfection, hit Wednesday 22nd July morning or Thursday 23rd July morning.
