Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for D Street. To be straight with you, this 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for any decent waves. We’re looking at a good long stretch of nothing special, and it’s gonna take a while before there’s even a whisper of a rideable wave.

The water temperature is sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than we’d normally see for this time of year.

The first real chance of something vaguely surfable, and I’m using that word lightly, shows up on Sunday, July 5th. We’ve got a long-period groundswell from the SSW at 3ft with a period of 18 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 513, but the wind is straight onshore from the WSW at 9 mph. That’ll make it bumpy and pretty messy at this beach break. It’s a marginal call at best.

Then Monday, July 6th might be the pick of a bad bunch. The swell drops to 2ft, but the period stretches to 20 seconds, and the combined energy climbs up to 740. The wind is still onshore from the west at 9 mph, keeping things choppy. Again, it’s only marginal.

From July 7th onward, the wind swings cross-on, which is a small mercy, but the swell just can’t get its act together. For the next week and a half, it’s pretty much consistent lines of poor surf conditions and marginal forecasts. The energy levels are all over the shop, with some moderate readings, but the waves themselves are tiny and the wind is never clean enough to make it worthwhile.

The long periods on this swell mean it’s going to be breaking pretty straight and closeout-y on this exposed beach, which isn’t great for paddling into anything with shape. There’s no standout session, no hidden gem, just a whole lot of flat and choppy water. A few days have light winds, but the swell is too small to care.

To put it bluntly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, you might get a few ankle-biters, but there’s nothing here to get excited about. I wouldn't bother waxing up for a couple of weeks. Forecasts can change, mind you, but for now, it’s a blank run.

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.
