Dreamland Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, crew, Rusty back at it. Here’s the scoop for Dreamland in feet and miles per hour – no extra fluff, just the goods.

Right out of the gate, we’ve got a solid SSW groundswell hitting around 6 ft to 7 ft, with a real long period of 15 to 16 seconds. That’s packing a heap of energy (roughly 1989 to 1907), so it’s for seasoned surfers only. The pick of the whole stretch is Saturday morning, July 4th, at Dreamland. Offshore breeze from the ESE, clean faces, and that long-period swell will draw some lines, though on a beach-and-reef setup it can get a bit straight. Water temp is unremarkable – about average for this time of year.

Saturday afternoon gets cross-off and messy. Sunday morning, July 5th, brings another clean window with 6 ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and offshore wind – still only for the experienced crowd. Monday morning, July 6th, drops to 4 ft but with a very long 17-second period (1388 energy) and fresh offshore wind – clean but weaker. Rest of the week turns cross-off with marginal quality.

From Tuesday, July 7th, through Wednesday, July 8th, we’re stuck with cross-off breezes, swell from 5 ft to 7 ft, but no decent wind. Even with energy ranging from moderate to strong (957 to 2266), it’s messy. Honestly, with those strong ESE winds and solid swell, this might be better for kiteboarding than paddling.

Thursday, July 9th, sees rain showers. Friday, July 10th, stays mediocre.

Then a glimmer: Saturday morning, July 11th. Swell drops to 5 ft, shifts to SW, period at 14 seconds, and we get offshore wind again (ESE at 16 mph). Energy drops to 1046, but clean conditions make this your second-best session.

Sunday, July 12th, goes tiny at 3 ft. Monday morning, July 13th, picks up slightly to 4 ft, 11-second period, offshore wind (670 energy) – fun for intermediates.

Then Tuesday morning, July 14th: a spike to 4 ft but with a crazy long 18-second period and offshore wind. Energy jumps to 1402. On a beach-and-reef break, that long period can be tricky – but clean and punchy. Worth a look.

From Wednesday, July 15th, onward, it’s mostly cross-off, fresh winds, small swell, and low-quality scores. Friday, July 17th, to Sunday, July 19th, sees some rain showers, a bump to 5 ft to 5 ft, but cross-off winds keep it marginal.

So there you have it: Saturday July 4th morning is the main event, Saturday July 11th morning is your backup. Everything else is just background noise.

Rusty, out.
