Conditions at Dreamland in January
January: Wet-Season Westerly Grind
January is the heart of the northwest monsoon, and the wind data tell an ugly story for Dreamland: W winds make up 36.7% of observations and WNW another 17.2%, with WSW adding 14.6%, while the overall ideal-wind statistic sits at just 16%. Swell-wise, there is still plenty of firepower, with SSW at 35.7% and SW at 47.4%; most energy sits in the 1-1.5m and 1.5-2m range, plus a good dose of 2-2.5m from the SW. The 12.4s average period means these are long-period, powerful groundswells, but the onshore flow tears them apart. Expect lumpy, bumpy conditions, rain at 9.49 mm/day, air temps near 27.8°C, and water temp at 29.2°C. Chase the early morning dawn patrol if an E/SE wind window appears.
