Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, I’ll be real with you. D Street is not looking like much over the next 16 days. There's some swell around, but it’s messy, and the windows of decent surf are few and far between.
Starting on Saturday July 4th, we’ve got a weak 3ft SSW swell with moderate wave energy of 460. The water is about 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. A light cross-onshore breeze is blowing, so it’s not clean. Not worth paddling out.
Sunday the 5th and Monday the 6th are worse. The wind turns onshore, and even though the swell period stretches out to 18 seconds on Sunday (a long-period groundswell), wave heights are still only 2ft to 3ft. The energy climbs a bit to 515 and 540, but with that wind and weak size, it’s just chop and close-outs. For a beach like D Street, that long-period groundswell tends to break too straight anyway.
Tuesday July 7th through the end of the following week is a washout. Swell stays between 3ft and 3ft, but the energy is dropping, and the wind stays cross-onshore or onshore. There's no standout day. It’s a stretch of several days with no recommendation.
The only real chance comes on Saturday July 18th. We see a little pulse: about 3ft from the SW with a 17-second period. The combined energy hits 609, which is moderate, and the wind goes light from the NNW. It’s still cross-onshore, but that’s as good as it gets in this whole run. A marginal option, but the best one of the pack.
Overall, D Street has a long, flat spell. Given the steady onshore winds through the first week, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than for paddling. Keep your expectations low and your board ready for that one window a couple weeks out.

Information about the D Street Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for D Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at D Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our D Street 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 (D Street) 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 D Street 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.
