The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down. First off, the next week and a half at Dreamland is pretty average. There’s swell coming, but the wind is a stubborn cross-off from the ESE or SE, blowing at 15 to 19 mph, which keeps things clean but not perfect. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real chance to get excited comes on Sunday, July 26th. That morning, we’ve got a light offshore breeze from the ESE at 16 mph, with swell around 3ft from the SSW at 13 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (597), and the conditions are looking clean. It’s not a standout, but it’s a step in the right direction.

The real standout – and I mean the one to circle on the calendar – is Monday, July 27th. That morning, the offshore wind picks up from the ESE at 12 mph, and the swell jumps to 6ft from the SE. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s a windswell, but the energy is solid (1006) and the conditions are described as very good. This is your best bet for a fun session, but keep in mind that short period swell can be a bit punchy and less predictable at a beach-and-reef setup like Dreamland.

Now, I want to point out the end of the month. On Friday, July 31st, we get a proper glassy morning. The wind goes dead calm – 3 mph from the SSE, glassy conditions. The swell is 4ft from the SSW at a very long 18 seconds. That’s a groundswell, and it’s packing moderate energy (1339). This is premium stuff, especially for a point break or reef, but Dreamland is a beach-and-reef mix, so that long period might make it break a bit straight. Still, glassy and clean is hard to beat.

The next morning, Saturday, August 1st, is another glassy start. Swell builds to 6ft from the SW at 17 seconds, with combined energy of 1658. The wind is again only 3 mph from the SE. This is a true standout for experienced surfers – the conditions are excellent, but that size and period means it’s not for beginners. The water should still be warm.

Looking further ahead, Monday, August 3rd brings a big pulse. Swell hits 12ft from the SSW at 18 seconds, with combined energy of 6815. That’s a massive, powerful groundswell. But the wind is back to a fresh cross-off at 19 mph, and the conditions are described as marginal. This is for experts only, and honestly, with that much energy and a cross-off wind, it might be more of a show than a go. The beach-and-reef setup could be a mess, and it might even be better suited for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

So, to wrap it up: the best sessions are the glassy mornings on Friday, July 31st and Saturday, August 1st. Monday, July 27th is a solid runner-up. The rest of the window is average, with a lot of cross-off wind and average swell. Crowds are possible at Dreamland, especially on those standout days, but it’s worth it.

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.
