Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for D Street over the next couple of weeks.

Alright, I'll be straight with you – the next week and a half is a real mixed bag. We've got energy coming through, but it's pretty much all onshore wind, which is going to mess up the surface. The forecasting is a bit of a rollercoaster, but hang in there because the second week might just have a couple of windows.

Monday the 13th kicks off pretty flat. We've got a bit of a swell at 3ft from the SSW with a 13-second period, but it's coming straight from the west-southwest at 9 mph, blowing right onshore. The combined energy is weak (336), so honestly, it's a write-off. Tuesday and Wednesday the 14th and 15th are more of the same – tiny waves around 2ft to 2ft and onshore wind. It's a bit of a bummer.

Thursday the 16th, the wind shifts to the south-southwest, but it's cross-onshore, and the swell is a weak 4ft from the west with a short, snappy 8-second period. The combined energy is still low (308). The whole first week, from the 13th right through to the 19th, is pretty much dominated by onshore or cross-onshore winds. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing special there.

Now, let's get to the good stuff. The real standout window is looking like Thursday the 23rd of July. The swell is forecast to jump up to 6ft from the south, with a 14-second period – that's some proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is strong (1153), and the wind is light from the west-southwest, blowing straight onshore. That's a big one. It's a bit of a gamble, being so far out, but if it holds, D Street will have some grunt. The wave height is over 5ft, so it's a step up from the beginner stuff, but not quite the 8ft that screams "experts only". The long period means it'll have some punch, and the sets will be more spaced out, making the paddle out a bit easier.

The morning of Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th also look workable, with 5ft swell from the south-southwest, but the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore. It's a step down from that Thursday peak, but still worth a look.

After the 25th, it fades. Sunday the 26th and into the next week, the swell drops back to 3ft to 3ft, and the cross-onshore wind returns. It's a fade-out, really.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a frustrating wait with onshore winds and anemic swell. The best bet, and I'm calling it now, is Thursday the 23rd of July. That 6ft south swell with light onshore wind is the clear standout. Keep your eyes on that forecast. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are your backup options. Otherwise, it's a waiting game.

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.
