Table - best surf conditions forecast for D Street over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what D Street has in store for us over the coming days. It's a bit of a mixed bag, so let's get into it.
Right now, the water at D Street is running at 71°F, which is 5°F warmer than what we'd normally see this time of year. That's much warmer than usual, so you might not even need a spring suit if the air temp plays ball.
The first bit of the forecast is pretty grim to be honest. Through Friday the 10th and into the weekend, we've got a long-period 15-second SSW groundswell pushing in around 3ft, but the problem is the wind. It's cross-on from the SW at 9 mph, and that's just putting a chop on everything. The combined energy is moderate (498), but the conditions are poor. You'd be fighting a bumpy surface for nothing.
Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th don't look any better really. The swell sticks around at about 3ft to 3ft from the SSW, period dropping to 14 seconds, but with cross-on winds again. The combined energy is still moderate (477-391), but the reports are calling it marginal or poor. Sunday morning has a glimmer with very light winds (3 mph), but it's still cross-on, so it won't be glassy.
We finally see a change on Monday the 13th. The wind swings onshore from the WSW at 6 mph, which is a step in the right direction, but it's still onshore. The swell drops to 3ft with a period of 13 seconds. It's only rated as marginal, but it's the first time the wind isn't completely ruining it. Might be worth a look if you're desperate.
Things go quiet again from Tuesday the 14th through to Wednesday the 22nd. We get a few days with tiny swell (1ft to 2ft) and onshore wind, so just leave the board at home.
The first real glimmer of something decent comes on Tuesday the 21st of July. Swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSW with a long 16-second period. The wind is light and cross-on from the WSW at 6 mph. The combined energy is high (556). It's still only a 2/10, but that's the best we've seen in two weeks. If you're patient, this morning session might offer the cleanest lines of the whole run.
Then, hold onto your hats for Saturday the 25th of July. Swell jumps to 5ft from the S, with a moderate 14-second period. The combined energy is strong at 1118. The catch? Wind is onshore from the W at 9 mph. It's going to be a beast, but messy. This is expert territory at 5ft in onshore wind. If you've got the skills and a big board, you might find a few, but for most, it'll be a washing machine.
So, if I'm picking a standout, it's the morning of Tuesday the 21st. The swell direction (SSW) isn't the optimum SW for D Street, but the light cross-on wind and long period should give you some clean, lined-up waves. The Saturday the 25th has more power, but the wind is a problem.
Signing off, 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.
