Hey, Rusty here. Let me level with you – the next 16 days at D Street look like a total washout. Nothing worth getting out of bed for.

Water temp is about 69°F this Monday morning (6 July) – about 4°F warmer than usual, so that’s a small comfort.

Monday morning kicks off with 3 ft swell from SSW, 16-second period, moderate energy (529). But the wind’s onshore from the west at 9 mph, and the report says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” Not worth it. Tuesday morning sees 3 ft from SSW with 18-second period and strong energy (857), but cross-onshore wind from WSW at 6 mph – light, but still choppy. That’s the story all week: swell heights bouncing between 3–4 ft, periods 14–20 seconds, but always onshore or cross-onshore wind. By Thursday afternoon (9 July) it’s “poor surf conditions,” and that never lets up.

Second week is even worse. Monday 13 July morning: 3 ft from SSW, 13 seconds, onshore wind, poor. By Tuesday 14 July we’re down to 2–2 ft, energy under 200 – weak. Midweek it’s 1 ft on Wednesday 15 July, basically flat with light onshore breeze. Even the longer-period swells (18–19 seconds) can’t help with those tiny heights and dirty wind.

There’s a tiny glimmer around 20–21 July – Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning both show 3 ft from SW, period 15–16 seconds, light onshore wind (6 mph). The wave comment hits “marginal” with the highest rating of the whole run – but still not good. The wind is onshore, the break is a beginner sandbar that’s often crowded when there’s anything rideable. The swell direction matches the optimum (SW), but the poor quality and crowds kill it.

Bottom line: this is a dry spell. D Street is fairly consistent, but sometimes the surf just doesn’t show. Forecasts can turn around, but for now, don’t bother. Nothing here qualifies as a standout – just a whole lot of waiting.

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.

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.
