The Lowdown
Alright, grab your stick, this is Rusty looking ahead at D Street.
Right from the get-go, it’s a so-so pattern. There’s consistent swell through late July, but conditions look middling because the wind keeps blowing cross-on. We’ve got some moderate to strong wave energy from the 27th through the 31st of July—combined energy running from 968 up to 1766—but the quality is never really there. The water temperature is 75°F, which is 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s unusual, but the surf stays messy.
From Friday July 24th to Saturday August 1st, every session is marginal. Swell runs from 2 ft to 7 ft from the SSW to S, periods between 13–19 seconds. The wind is always a light to gentle cross-onshore or straight onshore, never clean. When it hits 7 ft to 7 ft on July 31st, that’s starting to get too big for beginners. This is a sandbar spot, so the onshore breeze makes it choppy.
The standout is Friday July 31st morning. Swell is 7 ft from the S, 14-second period, with clear skies and a light 9 mph onshore breeze. The combined energy is 1766. The size gives it grunt and the wind is light enough that it’s not totally blown out. Crowds at D Street are often there, but with only average conditions, you might find a bit more room.
From Sunday August 2nd to Saturday August 8th, it’s a dead zone. Swell drops to 1 ft to 3 ft, the energy falls under 500, bottoming at 64. Conditions are rated poor. That’s a long stretch of flat or unrideable surf.
Your best chance is the morning of July 31st. Otherwise, leave the board at home.

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.
