Dreamland Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey mates, Rusty here. Let's break down what’s happening at Dreamland over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid, long run of SSW to SW groundswell, with most days seeing waves between 5ft and 7ft. The catch is the wind – it’s going to be blowing from the ESE and SE almost the whole time, keeping it clean but not glassy. Water temp is 81°, which is totally normal for this time of year.

Sunday the 5th of July is the one to get excited about. A clean 6ft swell from the SSW with a 14-second period, and the wind is straight offshore in the morning. The energy is pumping (1490) and the waves will be well-shaped. Crowds are a factor here though – they’re often around, so plan for that. It’s a bit over 5ft, so it’s for the experienced crowd.

The rest of that first week – Monday the 6th through Saturday the 11th – keeps the swell pumping, from 4ft to nearly 7ft, with really long periods up to 17 seconds. The energy gets huge, over 2000 on Wednesday afternoon. But that cross-off wind is always there, so it’s rideable, not perfect.

Sunday the 12th is a major drop-off, down to a weak 3ft. That’s a lay day.

Then it builds again. Monday the 13th afternoon sees a massive 6ft swell with a very long 19-second period. That’s serious power (2340). Tuesday the 14th morning is the other big standout: a 7ft SSW swell, 17-second period, strong offshore wind, and the highest energy of the whole forecast (2582). That’s a heavy day, only for expert surfers. That long period at this beach-and-reef break can make it a bit tricky, but the size will be there.

After that, from Wednesday the 15th through Monday the 20th, the swell drops to 4ft to 5ft and the energy fades. The wind stays cross-off, and it’s nothing to write home about.

Bottom line: Sunday morning the 5th and Tuesday morning the 14th are your best shots. Everything else is just making up the numbers.

Rusty.
