Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: this stretch for D Street is not the most exciting run we've seen. The whole 16-day window is a grind of small, weak surf with onshore or cross-onshore winds. We're looking at waves averaging around 3 ft to 3 ft, with combined swell energy mostly sitting between 200 and 500 (weak to moderate), occasionally climbing just under 1000. There is no point in that whole period where the conditions really lock in for a true standout. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The only window that teases you with something semi-rideable starts on Monday, July 6th. Through that week we see a very long-period groundswell from the SSW, with periods stretching from 16 up to 20 seconds. The swell height stays around 2 ft to 4 ft. The energy picks up a bit, with values from 538 up to 954 (moderate), so there's some push. The problem is the wind. It's mostly onshore or light cross-onshore, especially from Tuesday the 7th through Thursday the 10th, giving you choppy, bumpy faces. Wednesday the 8th offers the best chance with a 4 ft SSW swell and light cross-onshore winds that lay down a little, but it’s still marginal.
From Saturday the 11th onward, it gets weaker. Swell drops to 1 ft to 3 ft, period shortens, and the energy falls away. The last worthwhile look is on Saturday, July 18th, with a 3 ft SW swell at a 17-second period and offshore wind from the west, but the energy is again moderate (538). Still, with such small waves and a long period, it’ll be pretty fat.
To sum it up: we have about 13 days of poor to marginal conditions. The best pick, and it’s not saying much, is Wednesday, July 8th morning for D Street. That 4 ft SSW groundswell (16-second period) with light cross-onshore wind will at least give you something to push around on. Combined energy is 954 (moderate), so it's the most grunt of the whole run. Crowds are possible at this sandbar break, and the consistent nature keeps it in play. But don't expect a classic. For everyone else, this is one of those stretches where the setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle.
This is a long, flat spell, so don't hurt yourself chasing it.
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.
