Hey, Rusty here. Let's get into what the ocean's got for us at D Street. To be real with you, it’s a pretty long dry spell, but there's a little pulse of something bigger right at the end if you’re patient.
D Street is a sandbar, wide open to the southwest swell. For the first week and a half, it’s pretty grim. The surf is small and the wind is almost always blowing onshore or cross-onshore, so you’re looking at bumpy, messy conditions. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, no surprises there. There’s a little bump of energy on the 6th and 7th of July, with the combined energy sitting between 538 and 857 (moderate), but it’s a long-period groundswell from the SSW, 16 to 20 seconds. Those long-period waves on a beach break like this tend to just close out. And with the onshore wind, it’s a no-go. This pattern of marginal or poor conditions drags on right through to about the 18th of July. That’s a solid ten-day stretch of nothing worth paddling for.
Okay, here’s the one spark. Towards the 19th and 20th of July, the swell starts to show up. On Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st of July, we get a S swell running 5ft to 6ft. The combined energy hits the four-digit mark, between 1113 and 1228 (strong), which is the most power we’ll see. This is the best of a bad bunch, honestly. The period drops to 13-14 seconds, so it’s not a super clean groundswell, and the wind is still cross-onshore from the SW, which will chop it up. At 6ft, on a sandbar with onshore wind, it’s really only for the experienced blokes. Tuesday morning the 21st is your best window if you can handle a bit of texture and some power. Crowds could be around too, so keep an eye out.
Hang in there, it’s a waiting game.
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.
