The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here again with the same story, just in feet and miles.

It’s a tough outlook for D Street. We’re staring at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf with lousy conditions. The first real chance doesn’t show up until Thursday the 30th of July, and even then, it’s only a marginal call. Basically, we’ve got a 16-day window with a whole lot of nothing.

The only real shot you’ve got is on Thursday afternoon, the 30th of July. The water is sitting at a very warm 76°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. Swell is a small 3 ft out of the SSW, with a long period of 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and the energy is moderate (787). The wind is offshore from the W at 9 mph, which will keep it clean. Still, the wave comment says it’s marginal, and the overall score is low. For a beginner-level sandbar, this could be a fun one if you’re just learning, but don’t expect much power.

Friday the 31st is a similar story. Morning sees 4 ft from the SSW with a 14-second period, offshore wind from the W at 6 mph, and moderate energy (655). Again, it’s marked as marginal. The afternoon drops off to 3 ft and poor conditions.

After that, it’s pretty grim. From Saturday the 1st of August right through to around the 14th of August, we’re stuck with tiny swell—mostly 1 ft to 3 ft—and a lot of cross-onshore wind. The wind is light, sure, but it’s coming from the wrong direction, making for choppy, poor surf. The combined energy drops into the low 100s and 200s, which is weak. There’s a bit of a pulse on the 12th of August with 3 ft from the SW and a 16-second period, energy climbing back to 523, but again it’s only a marginal call.

Honestly, the standout is that Thursday afternoon, the 30th of July. The offshore wind and the long-period groundswell are the best we’ll see. But for a beginner spot like D Street, even that’s a bit of a gamble. For the rest of the run, you’re best off leaving the boards in the car.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
