Alright, let's have a look at what's on offer down at D Street. To be honest, the next couple of weeks are looking like a bit of a mixed bag – nothing that's gonna have everyone scrambling for a board, but there are a couple of windows where it might just come together.
Right now, the water temp is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
The first real flicker of hope comes on July 18th, Saturday morning. We've got swell building to 6ft from the South, and while the period is a middling 15 seconds, the overall energy is strong (1739). But here's the catch – the wind is cross-onshore from the WSW, making it a bit choppy. It's rated marginal, so don't expect perfection, but it's the first pulse that has some push.
For the best of the best, you'll want to look at Sunday, July 26th. That morning, D Street sees a solid 4ft swell from the SW with a nice, long 19-second period. That long period means real groundswell energy and better shaped waves. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the WSW, which will keep it relatively clean over the sandbar. With 1231 in the energy department, it'll have some punch. This is the standout of the whole outlook. The break can get crowded often, so get down early.
Following that, Monday, July 27th, looks promising too, with a 4ft SW swell and offshore wind from the West through the morning. This will clean it right up. The energy is still strong (1233). That's a very tidy option, with glassy or light offshore conditions making for clean faces.
Other than those two highlights, the rest of the period is mostly poor or marginal. There are a lot of days with cross-onshore winds and smaller swell. If you're a beginner, the bigger days on July 18th (6ft) might be a bit of a handful, and the long-period swell on the 26th and 27th, while offering the best shape, might also seem a bit too powerful and inconsistent.
So, to sum it up: target the 26th and 27th for the best chance of something really good. The rest is a waiting game. Forecasts can always change, so keep an eye on it.

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.
