The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down the Dreamland forecast for the next couple of weeks. This is a beach and reef setup that's fairly exposed and likes the swell from the SW. The water temp is pretty much normal for this time of year.
Right off the bat, we've got a run of swell, but the wind is going to be the main character for a while. For the first few days, it's a cross-off breeze from the ESE. The waves are there, 1.3 to 1.5 feet from the SSW, with a long period of 13 seconds, giving you some energy (combined energy of all swells directed here is around 839-924). But it's not clean, and the forecast calls it marginal. It's a bit of a fight.
On Monday the 31st of August, the swell picks up and the period jumps to 18 seconds – that's a proper groundswell. The wave energy is climbing (combined energy of all swells directed here hits 1367-1892), but the wind is still cross-off, so it's not going to be perfect. The size is 1.3 to 1.7 feet, so it's getting more interesting.
Now, the real standout. Tuesday the 1st of September. The swell is a solid 6.2 feet from the SW with a period of 18 seconds, and the wind swings to offshore from the ESE. That's the golden ticket. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a powerful 2320, and the forecast is excellent for experienced surfers. This is the day to be in the water if you know what you're doing. It's not a beginner wave, but for the crew who can handle it, it's going to be epic.
Wednesday the 2nd of September is another good morning window, with the swell still at 6.2 feet from the SW and a 16-second period, and that offshore ESE wind again. The energy is strong (1970), and it's another excellent call for experienced surfers. The wind changes in the afternoon and the quality drops.
From Thursday the 3rd of September through the 12th, the wind is a persistent cross-off from the SE or ESE. The swell stays in the 4.6 to 8.2 foot range, but it's never clean. The combined energy of all swells directed here bounces around from 735 all the way up to 3296, but without the offshore wind, it's just a lumpy, messy ocean. The swell periods are all over the place too, from 13 to 19 seconds. It's surfable, but it's not the good stuff.
The end of the run, around the 8th of September, has a few lighter wind mornings, but it's still mostly cross-off. The real standout is firmly on Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd of September. After that, you're waiting for the next proper window.

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.
