The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the menu for the next two weeks in feet and miles per hour.
The water temp is 80°, which is about normal for the season. The whole run is powered by a steady SW groundswell, and while the first few days are mellow, the energy really cranks up.
First surf is Thursday, September 3rd – 5ft of SW swell with a very long 16-second period, but the wind is a cross-off from the ESE at 19 mph. The energy is moderate at 1188, but it’s a marginal call, more of a warm-up than a standout. Friday is similar, with 5ft to 5ft and cross-off winds.
Saturday, September 5th, is where it gets real. Swell hits 6ft from the SSW, period still a long 16 seconds, and the energy jumps to 1837 – that’s moderate to strong. Wind is cross-off from the SE at 16 mph, and the surf is clean. Sunday, September 6th, keeps that going with 7ft of SSW swell and a 17-second period, energy at 2785. The wind is a lighter SSE at 12 mph, still cross-off. This is getting into the advanced zone.
The standout is Wednesday, September 9th. The morning shows 8ft of SSW swell with a 16-second period, combined energy of 2859 – that’s strong. The wind is a gentle SSE breeze at just 9 mph, cross-off, making for clean, powerful waves. The forecast calls it “excellent for experienced surfers,” and that’s the best of the run. Thursday, September 10th, and Friday, September 11th, are nearly as good, with 6ft to 7ft swells and light cross-off winds.
The second week, from September 12th onward, holds 5ft to 7ft of SW swell, with periods between 14 and 17 seconds, and cross-off winds from the ESE and SE at 12 to 16 mph. The energy stays moderate to strong, but it’s not quite as clean or powerful as that Wednesday. Still, there’s surf every day, no real gaps.
Remember, with that long-period swell (15 seconds and up), Dreamland’s beach and reef setup can make the waves run a bit fast and straight. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have some company. For the best of it, aim for Wednesday, September 9th, through Friday, September 11th – that’s the pick of the bunch.
Rusty.

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.
