The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk about this run. Water temp is sitting at 80.2°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The wind is stuck in the ESE to SE slot, mostly cross-off, so it’s not glassy but it’s not blown out either. The swell energy is all over the place, but we’ve got some real highlights if you’re patient.

We start Tuesday the 21st at Dreamland with a 5.6ft SSW swell and a 14-second period. That’s groundswell, but it’s marginal. Combined energy is around 1244 (moderate to strong), but the quality is just okay. The cross-off breeze is moderate to fresh, so it’s clean but not perfect. It’s a fairly consistent break, but the day is just average.

Wednesday and Thursday stay in the 3.3ft to 4.3ft range, still SSW, periods around 13 to 14 seconds. Energy drops to the 700 to 886 range. Wind stays fresh and cross-off. Clean, but small. Nothing to write home about.

Friday the 24th gets weird. Swell drops to 2.6ft to 3.0ft, but the period jumps to 17 seconds. That’s a very long period groundswell. Energy is moderate at 847 to 861. This long period swell can be tricky at a beach-and-reef setup—it can break too straight and be shifty. The wind is moderate, so it’s clean, but you’re chasing maybe knee-high waves with long waits between sets.

Saturday the 25th sees a bump to 3.9ft to 4.3ft, period dropping to 14 to 15 seconds, energy back over 1000. Still cross-off, still clean. It’s a “meh” day but surfable.

Sunday the 26th shifts. Swell switches to the SE, short period of only 8 seconds, and height jumps to 6.6ft. That’s a windswell, and it’s going to be lumpy. Energy is 856, but the wave comment calls it poor. The afternoon is worse. Skip it.

Monday the 27th is a tease. The morning shows 7.5ft from the SE, still that short 8-second period, but the wind switches to offshore for the morning. That’s fresh offshore, so the waves will be clean and lined up. But the period is short, so it’s going to be a bit bumpy and quick. Energy is high at 1211. The afternoon gets cross-off again and the quality drops. That morning window is the first real highlight, but it’s a short one.

Then we hit a flat spell. Tuesday the 28th through Thursday the 31st, swell drops to 3.0ft to 3.9ft, and the period stretches back to 14 to 19 seconds. Energy picks up late on the 30th to 1612, but the wave height is still small. It’s clean, but you’re looking at waist-high maximum with long waits. The winds are fresh and cross-off, so it’s not bad, just not worth a special trip.

Now the real standout starts on Saturday the 1st of August. Swell is 5.6ft to 6.2ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, and energy is a strong 1771 to 2120. That’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is still cross-off, but it’s clean. This is a proper surf. It’s over 5ft, so it’s not for the faint of heart, but for intermediate and up, it’s going to be a treat. The long period will make for nice, lined-up waves at Dreamland, though with that reef and beach setup, it’s not a perfect point, but it’ll still be fun.

Sunday the 2nd holds similar: 5.9ft to 6.2ft, SW, 14 to 15 seconds, energy still strong at 1527 to 2038. This is the best run of the whole forecast. The wind is moderate and cross-off, so it’s clean and consistent.

Monday the 3rd drops off: 4.3ft to 4.9ft, period 13 to 14 seconds, energy down to 684 to 917. Still surfable, but nothing special.

Tuesday the 4th is a weird one. Morning is 3.0ft at 20 seconds, then afternoon jumps to 5.9ft at 18 seconds and energy maxes out at 2413. That’s a huge pulse of very long-period energy. The afternoon could be excellent, but that long period might make it a bit too straight for Dreamland. Still, the energy is massive.

Then Wednesday the 5th of August. This is the biggest

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.
