Table - best surf conditions forecast for D Street over the next 16 days.
Hey folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s cookin’. It’s gonna be a slow stretch, so don’t get too fired up just yet.
We’ve got a real dry spell to start – nothing worth talking about from now until the 8th of July. The first chance for a wave comes on Wednesday the 8th of July, but it’s a tough one. D Street is looking at a 4ft SSW groundswell with a long 16-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore and the waves are messy. The water temp is pretty average for the time of year. The swell energy (949) is moderate, but the breeze just kills it. Not worth the effort.
Things don’t get much better through the rest of the first week and into the second. Small swells, cross-shore winds, and “poor surf conditions” is all we’re seeing. We get a little blip of energy on the 18th with a 3ft SW swell, but it’s still cross-onshore and marginal. Just not coming together.
But hold on – there’s a little diamond hiding in the rough. Sunday the 19th of July is your day. Saturday morning, D Street should see a 3ft SW groundswell with a long 17-second period. The wind is forecast to go glassy, and the report says “expect very good surf conditions.” The swell energy is a solid moderate (669), and if that glass holds, it’ll be clean and fun. That’s the session to aim for.
After that, it’s back to onshore winds and poor conditions again.
So, the 19th is your standout. The rest of this run, you’re better off doing something else.

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.
