Updates in  hr  min  s Forecast update imminent

Hey folks, Rusty here. Lookin’ at D Street over the next couple weeks… I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty quiet stretch. The water’s runnin’ a touch warmer than normal at about 69°, roughly 4° above average for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing worth mentionin’.

The first few days – Monday 6th through Wednesday 8th – have the most goin’ for ’em, but even then it’s only marginal. Monday afternoon a 2 ft SSW swell rollin’ in at a long 20 seconds, wind onshore from the west at 9 mph. Combined wave energy’s sittin’ at 745 (moderate), but the forecast calls it marginal. Tuesday morning the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the same direction, period 18 seconds, with a light cross-onshore breeze from the WSW at 6 mph. Energy’s a bit higher at 852, but still only a 1-out-of-10 rating. Wednesday morning’s similar – 4 ft SSW, 16 seconds, cross-onshore WSW at 6 mph, energy 915. The shape might be okay for a beginner, but that cross-onshore wind’s gonna put a little bump on it.

Then from Thursday 9th onward… it’s a long slog of poor conditions. Thursday mornin’ the wind swings to a stiffer SSW at 9 mph, cross-onshore, and the swell drops back to 3 ft with period shortenin’ to 16 seconds – energy’s 737 but the report says poor. Friday through Sunday the swell holds around 3–3 ft but period keeps droppin’ and the wind stays cross or cross-onshore, with some stronger 12 mph gusts on Friday and Sunday. Energy falls off from 542 down to 382. By the second week, from Monday 13th through the 21st, the swell shrinks to 1–3 ft, period swings wildly from 8 seconds up to 19 seconds, and every session is marked poor or marginal. The combined energy dips into the 200s and 300s (weak to low moderate). Even the longer-period groundswells (18–19 seconds) are comin’ with poor ratings – no magic there.

Honestly, there isn’t a single standout window. The best of a bad bunch is probably Tuesday morning July 7th, with 3 ft of long-period SSW swell and light wind, but it’s still just a marginal call. After that, you’re lookin’ at a solid 12 days of “leave the board in the car”. For a beginner spot like D Street, the swell rarely gets above 4 ft anyway, so it’s not too big, but the constant onshore/cross-onshore winds kill any chance of clean waves.

If you’re desperate, you could paddle out on one of those early mornings, but don’t expect much. Otherwise, wait for the next proper swell. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a tough 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.
