The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here, and I've been staring at the charts for Dreamland. It's a bit of a mixed bag for the next couple of weeks, but there's some grunt in the water if you time it right.
The first part of the outlook is a bit of a grind. From Saturday the 18th right through to Friday the 24th, the surf is there but it's *marginal* – the wind is a persistent cross-off breeze, mostly from the ESE or SE, which keeps things clean but the swell is just not cooperating. We've got a solid 5ft to 5ft SW groundswell with a nice long period of 14 to 15 seconds, but the combined energy is all over the place. Saturday morning shows a moderate 939 (combined energy of all swells directed here), and Monday morning jumps up to a strong 2048, but the scores just aren't backing it up. The water temp is sitting at a very warm 81°F, which is right on the money for this time of year.
The first real standout comes on Saturday the 25th. The morning shows a clean 4ft SSW groundswell, with a period of 15 seconds and a solid energy reading of 1643. The wind goes *offshore* from the ESE at 19 mph, which is a major positive. This is the best call in the near-term for Dreamland. The swell direction is a bit off the optimum SW, but the clean conditions and long-period groundswell should make for some well-shaped, punchy waves. It's an advanced break, and it's fairly consistent, but crowds are possible here.
The following week is a real mixed bag. Sunday the 26th has a bit of a short-period SE windswell (7ft at 8 seconds) to start the day, but the period is too short to get excited about. The best of the second week looks like it's shaping up for Tuesday the 28th. We've got 6ft SSW groundswell with a 17-18 second period, and the energy is very strong, hitting 2337 on Tuesday morning.
Look, the whole period is a constant cross-off wind, which keeps the surface clean, but the swell quality is up and down. For the advanced surfer at Dreamland, the best bet by a noticeable margin is the morning of Saturday the 25th. It's not perfect, but it's the cleanest, most energetic swell in the first week.
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.
