The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’ve got for D Street. Gotta be honest, the whole 16-day stretch is a flat spell. Water temp is around 76°F, which is a heck of a lot warmer than normal for this time of year – feels more like a bath than the ocean.
Starting off from Saturday the 8th of August, we see tiny waves. About 3ft of SSW groundswell, with a long 17-second period, and clean offshore winds from the west. But the wave quality is poor. The combined swell energy is moderate at (426), but nothing’s linking up. This small, weak pattern holds through the weekend and all the way into Monday the 10th – wave heights hovering around 2ft to 3ft, always with clean wind but just not enough push.
There's a slight nudge by Saturday the 15th of August, with the swell reaching about 4ft from the SSW, still with clean offshore westerlies. The period is 16 seconds and the energy is a solid (736), but it’s only rated marginal. A glassy morning for a longboard if you’re patient.
The best you’ll see all period is on Sunday the 16th of August. The morning shows 3ft of SSW swell with a 16-second period, light offshore winds from the WSW, and combined energy at (649). Not big, but the conditions come together better than anywhere else in the window. It’s a longboard morning for sure.
After that, it’s back to small and poor surf through the 17th and into the last week. By the 22nd and 23rd of August, the combined energy drops into the 200s. It’s small, weak, and rarely breaking properly. For the most part, this setup looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard. No big standouts. Keep an eye on it.
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.
