The Lowdown

Alright, let’s look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a bummer of a forecast. The whole 16-day window is all about D Street, a sandbar that’s good for beginners, but the conditions are just not cooperating.

We’re starting with a real flat spell. From Monday the 3rd all through the first week, the swell is tiny – think 2ft to 3ft of SW swell. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making everything choppy and messy. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting between 130 and 231 early on, so there’s no real oomph. Water temp is about average for this time of year.

The best shot at anything rideable comes in the second week, but it’s still a struggle. Around Thursday the 13th, the swell starts to pick up a bit, with heights up to 3ft and a longer period SSW groundswell hitting 18 seconds. That gives a decent pulse of energy, with the combined energy hitting 492 on Friday the 14th morning. That’s moderate energy. The problem? The wind is mostly onshore from the W or cross-onshore from the SW, so the surface is gonna be lumpy. A 3ft, 18-second swell on a sandbar with onshore wind? That’s a tough one to surf well. The long period means better shaped waves, but at a beach break like this, it might break too straight.

If you’re a beginner and just want to get wet, there might be a tiny window on the 15th and 16th with 3ft swell and some light offshore wind in the mornings, but it’s a real gamble. Crowds are often here, so don’t expect any peace.

For the whole 16 days, there’s no real standout. It’s a long run of poor conditions. It’s the kind of stretch where the forecast could change, but as it stands, I’d leave the board at home and maybe go for a swim. No one’s getting shacked here.

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.

D Street is 5 km (3 miles) from the city of Encinitas. If you plan a vacation in San Diego County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Encinitas. Encinitas has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
