D Street Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, your local surf check, and I'm looking at the D Street stretch here. We've got a long 16-day window ahead, and honestly, the first week is going to be a bit of a grind. There's some swell on the charts, but the conditions are going to make you work for anything decent. The real standout is going to be a sneaky, late call for the second weekend.

Right now, to kick things off Saturday morning (the 5th), we've got a clean 4ft south swell running at 14 seconds. That's a long period groundswell, the energy is solid, and with a light westerly breeze holding it open, D Street could be worth a look. It's still a sandbar, so that long period will push through, but it’s beginner-friendly. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year.

Saturday afternoon picks up a touch to 5ft, but it's the same story. The 9 mph onshore wind is still light so it's workable, but nothing to get too excited about.

By Sunday the 6th, it's time to sit it out. The swell jumps to 6ft, which is starting to push the limits for a beginner spot, and the wind switches to a messy cross-onshore flow at 12 mph. It’s going to be chopped out and a poor call. Monday the 7th looks similar—wave heights staying around 6ft, and persistent onshore winds. The energy is still moderate, but the quality just isn't there.

We see a drop through the middle of the week starting Wednesday the 9th. The swell tanks down to 2ft, so we're looking at a full-on flat spell. There’s a tiny pulse of very long period energy (16 seconds), but at that size, it's barely breaking. You'll be floating more than surfing. This empty run stretches right through the following weekend, from the 12th to the 15th. The energy drops way off, confirming we’re in a full lull.

Now, for the part that gets interesting. Late in the second week, we see a potential window. Check out the morning of Saturday the 19th. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the west with a short period of 10 seconds, generating moderate energy. The key here is the wind: light westerly and onshore, which means it’ll be clean. That's the closest thing we have to a standout in this whole window, but the period is short, so the waves won’t have a ton of push. It’s a promising call for the second week, but don't sell the farm on it yet.

To sum it up, the next few days offer some rideable, clean but average waves for the experienced crew. Then we hit a major lull. Your best bet for the whole forecast is that Saturday the 19th. If the forecast holds, that's the morning to circle.

Stay patient.

Rusty.
