Dreamland Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on offer.

It's just the one spot for the next 16 days: Dreamland. It's a beach and reef break that's pretty open to the swell, and it needs that solid SW direction to really fire. Water temp's a warm 80°, which is dead average for this time of year.

Right off the bat, Sunday, August 2nd is the one to circle. We're looking at a clean 7ft SSW groundswell with a long 17-second period, pumping some serious energy into the shore (combined energy of 2247). The wind is blowing offshore from the ESE, so the morning session is going to be smooth, lined-up, and beautiful. This is the standout. It's solid surf, so it's for the experienced crew. That long period will mean powerful, well-shaped waves and more time between sets, so paddling out won't be such a fight. Just know that crowds are always a possibility here when it's this good.

Monday the 3rd drops a touch to 6ft, and the wind goes cross-offshore, so it loses a bit of that sparkle. Still fun, just not as perfect. Tuesday and Wednesday look similar, middling cross-off conditions with average swell heights around 5ft to 6ft.

Then things pick up again. By Thursday the 6th, the swell is back up to 7ft with a fresh offshore wind in the morning – another great window for the experts. The energy is strong (2534). Friday the 7th gets even bigger, with the swell hitting 8ft. That's expert-only territory. The wind is offshore again in the morning, so the waves will be powerful, hollow, and intense. The energy reading is very strong (3551).

The weekend of the 8th and 9th keeps the size up around 8ft to 8ft, but the wind turns cross-offshore, so it won't be as pristine. Then on Monday the 10th, we see a big pulse forecast: the afternoon shows a 10ft SSW groundswell, combined energy of 4534. That is a serious, powerful swell for experts only.

The second week is more of a mix, with generally smaller swells and those persistent cross-offshore breezes. Friday, August 14th offers another clean, offshore morning with a decent 6ft swell. Not the monster size of the first week, but good conditions.

From the 15th onward, it gets windier and the swell fades, with the energy dropping off towards the very end.

So, Dreamland is the only spot on the list, but it has a few moments. The absolute best is Sunday morning, August 2nd. Friday the 7th morning is another cracker for the experts. After that, it's about picking the cleanest conditions and hoping the crowd factor isn't too heavy.

Rusty.
