The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at what's on the menu for D Street over the next couple of weeks. It's a mixed bag, so let's cut through the noise.

The outlook starts off pretty flat and forgettable. We've got a full week of small, weak, onshore-affected surf from Monday the 31st of August through to the 7th of September. Most days you'll see dribbly waves around 1.6 ft to 3.9 ft, mostly from the SSW and SW, but with a consistent onshore breeze messing things up. There’s moderate combined swell energy in the 300-500 range, but the wind just kills it. Honestly, the first week is a write-off for a decent paddle.

Things finally look like they’re going to turn a corner on Sunday the 6th of September. The afternoon session is the standout of the entire forecast. We get a solid 6.6 ft S swell with a 14-second period, and the wind goes glassy. That’s the kind of combo that makes you drop everything. The combined energy hits 1516 (strong), so there’s plenty of push. This is proper groundswell, so expect power and clean, lined-up sets at D Street. Given the size (over 5 ft, close to 6.6 ft), this is for experienced surfers only. The long period means waves will be waiting for you between sets, making the paddle out easier.

After that Sunday highlight, the week of the 7th to the 14th of September drops back into mediocrity. The swell drops, the onshore wind returns, and you’re back to poor-to-marginal conditions with wave heights dropping from 5.2 ft down to a pathetic 1.3 ft by the 14th. The energy dips into the weak-to-moderate range. It’s a classic case of a good Sunday, then back to staring at a bumpy ocean.

The second week (from 9th September onward) is mostly small and weak, with only tiny pulses of SW windswell. Not worth going out of your way for.

So, bottom line: the only real standout is the glassy, 6.6 ft S groundswell on the afternoon of Sunday, 6th September. That’s your window. The rest of the 16-day run is a whole lot of nothing for a surfer.

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.
