Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, let me level with you. Right now, we’re looking at a pretty bleak stretch of surf for D Street. The start of the period is rough – Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th are plagued with onshore winds and small, messy swell. You won’t be missing much.
We’ve got a solid gap of poor to marginal conditions holding through the first week. There’s a persistent onshore flow, mostly from the west, with swell averaging around 3 ft. It’s not until around Monday the 6th that the energy picks up a little, but the wind keeps it from cleaning up. The combined energy is moderate (around 606 to 740), but the quality just isn’t there.
There’s a brief window on Saturday the 11th where the wind eases off to a light onshore breeze, but even then the swell drops off, and consistency is lacking.
The real standout doesn’t arrive until Friday the 17th. The morning brings an absolute diamond: glassy conditions, a calm sea, and a clean 2 ft S swell with a very long period of 21 seconds. The energy is moderate (335), but the wind is dead calm, and the water will be like a mirror. It’s a small day, best for a longboard and a few glassy runners off the sandbar.
Then, hold onto your board. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th – that's two weeks from now, so keep your fingers crossed – look proper. On Saturday morning we get a solid 4 ft S swell, building through the day to 5 ft from the SSE. The combined energy is strong to very strong (1451-1884). By Sunday the 19th, that swell jumps to 7 ft from the S with very strong energy (2078). That’s expert territory, and the WSW wind is onshore. If that wind shifts even a little, we could have a serious few days. No word yet if the buoys will line up, but the models are painting a picture.
For the first break, D Street is a sandbar exposed to the SW, and the water temp is about average for this time of year. Nothing unusual there.
In the interim, the patterns show plenty of long-period groundswell, but the wind is the enemy. If you’re looking to get wet before the 17th, you’re just getting a rinse, not a ride. The long-range potential on the 18th and 19th is promising, but we’ll need a wind change to make it epic.

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.
