D Street Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, crew, let’s not sugarcoat it – this forecast is a flat, wind-blown dud. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing in the water, so don’t get your hopes up.

The start of the period is a total washout. Sunday the 13th has a tiny 0.6m of weak, short-period swell, and a cross-onshore breeze just chops it all up. The water’s at a way-too-warm 23°, over 3° warmer than normal, which is just strange. Energy is weak at 210.

We’re heading into a multi-day gap of nothing but small and messy surf. The 14th and 15th are still weak. On the 16th, the combined energy jumps to 521, but the swell is still tiny at 0.9m and the wind is straight onshore. The period is short, around 8-10 seconds, so there’s no power behind it.

The middle of the week is the same story. The 17th and 18th see 0.8m bits of swell, but it’s all onshore. The 19th and 20th have some more energy in the water (586 and 698), but the waves are still around 0.9m, and the wind is on it. There’s a light breeze on the 21st, which is nice, but the surf is still minuscule.

The second week is just more of the same. The 22nd has some energy (766), but it’s all onshore and the surf quality is poor. Everything stays under a meter and messy. The 24th and 25th are windier, with a moderate breeze. The 26th and 27th are weak and cross-onshore slop. The 28th fades out without a whisper.

So, here’s the bottom line: D Street is a sandbar that’s just not showing any signs of life. There are no standout days. The only tiny sliver of hope is those longer period swells on the 13th and 18th, but they’re arriving with no size. It’s not enough to make a difference. This is a week to work on your pop-up or just watch the ocean from the shore.

It’s small, weak, and choppy, so even beginners won’t have much fun. Honestly, you might see more action on a windsurfing board than a surfboard out there. It’s a poor run, plain and simple.

Rusty, out.
