The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming down the pipe for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the first week of August is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got swell on the way, but the quality is just not there. For the first few days, the water is sitting at a very unusual 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it. The waves are small, the wind is on it, and the energy is weak. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions right through until the 13th of August. The only real bright spot on the horizon starts to show around Friday the 14th and into the weekend of the 15th and 16th. That’s when we finally see a pulse of better energy.

The standout window is definitely Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th of August. We’ll see the swell building to around 4 ft from the SSW with a period of 16 seconds. That’s a proper long-period groundswell, and the combined energy readings are climbing into the strong range (758 for the Saturday afternoon). The wind is a steady offshore breeze from the West, which is going to keep things clean. D Street is a sandbar, so with that long period, it might not be a perfect barrel, but the shape and the push should be there for some fun waves. Just keep in mind that this spot is fairly consistent, so there will be waves, but it can get crowded, and on a Saturday with clean conditions, you can expect a few friends out there.

Sunday the 16th looks similar but with a touch less size, around 4 ft, still with that clean offshore wind. The energy is still strong (591). It’s a solid weekend for a paddle.

After that, the window closes a bit. We drop back into the 3 ft range through the following week, and the energy fades. The wind stays mostly offshore, but the size just isn’t there to get excited about. There’s a brief blip on the 20th with a light offshore breeze, but the swell is small and the energy is weak.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a no-go. Mark your calendar for the weekend of the 15th and 16th of August. That’s your best bet. It’s not a massive swell, but it’s clean, and it’s got a bit of punch. The rest of the month looks pretty quiet.

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.

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.
