The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the only game in town for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, so we're looking at a solid run of groundswell at Dreamland. It kicks off on Tuesday the 25th of August with a 5.6ft SSW swell, a very long period of 16 seconds and moderate energy (1322). The wind is cross-off at 16 mph, so it'll be clean enough, but honestly, the forecast points to marginal conditions and a low score that day. We've got to be patient.
Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are still just building with similar conditions – clean but middling. Then things start ramping up. Friday the 28th of August is where it gets interesting. We're looking at an 8.2ft SSW swell with that same long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy jumps up significantly (3731), showing some serious power. Wind drops to a gentle 10 mph breeze, cross-off, and the surf is clean. This is gorilla surf. At 8.2ft with this period, this is expert territory only. Saturday the 29th morning keeps the quality high with a 6.6ft swell and light 6 mph winds, making for excellent conditions.
After a dip in size and energy over the weekend, it builds again. The standout for the first week? It's got to be the Monday the 31st of August morning. We get a 4.6ft SSW swell but with a massive 18-second period, and the wind arrow finally points straight offshore from the ESE at 16 mph. The water temp is sitting at about 79°, which is pretty much average for the time of year based on that anomaly reading. This combo of clean offshore wind and long period groundswell at a spot that's fairly exposed to SW will be magic.
The second week stays busy. A pulse on the 5th of September (Saturday) morning brings back the 6.6ft sets with a 15-second period and gentle cross-off breezes – another excellent session for those with experience. But if you're looking for the real highlight of the entire 16-day window, it's looking like the 9th of September (Wednesday) morning. We see a 4.9ft swell, but get this – a 20-second period from the SSW, pumping combined energy of 2470. The wind is a light 10 mph, the conditions are clean. That is some seriously long, powerful groundswell. It'll be very straight at the beach breaks, but for Dreamland, a beach and reef setup, this could be absolutely pumping. This is the one to circle on the calendar, though being two weeks out, we'll keep a loose leash on that call.
Take it easy out there.

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.
