Dreamland does not suit beginners. This is the forecast for intermediates, so you can see what it does.

About Dreamland
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (298°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (118°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 300 m out (1 in 32). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. The sea is about 26°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Pecatu, 2.4 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 7 surf spots, 5 wind sports spots and 1 climbing area.
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
