Table - best surf conditions forecast for D Street over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’m looking at the charts for the coming weeks. There's not much to write home about for a while, but we do have a couple of interesting patches later on.
For the first week and a half, D Street is going to be a bit of a dud. The swell is small and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, making for a tough paddle into weak, choppy lines. Don’t expect much. Things start to look slightly more interesting around Saturday the 18th of July, with a little bump in size and energy, but it’s still marginal.
The real standout window looks to be that Monday the 20th of July, and then especially Saturday the 25th of July. On the 25th, we’ve got a pulse of 5 ft swell from the S at a period of 13 seconds. The energy reading is strong at 1057 (moderate to strong wave energy). The morning has clean conditions with a gentle cross-onshore breeze from the WSW at 9 mph. That swell direction is a bit off the optimum for D Street, but the size and the longer period should push through some decent, grunty lines that will be good for those who can handle a little push.
On that Saturday the 25th, with the swell at 5 ft, it’s pushing into the territory where beginners might find it a bit of a handful, so keep that in mind. The afternoon settles into lighter winds and onshore flow, so the morning session is definitely the call. There isn't a massive change in the water temp anomaly noted, so it’s about average for the time of year.
Bottom line: hang tight through the first 10 days of this forecast window, and pencil in that Saturday the 25th of July for the best chance at a proper session.
Rusty.

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.
