The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Look, I won't lie to you, the next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag for D Street. It's a sandbar spot that's exposed to the SW, and while the long-range models are hinting at some juice, you're gonna have to be patient. The first week is a write-off for anything decent, but the second week shows some promise if you're willing to wait.

The water is sitting right about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.

We start off from Wednesday, the 15th, through to about Thursday, the 24th, with nothing but marginal to poor conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly around 2 ft to 3 ft, and the wind is junk. It's cross-on, onshore, or just generally chop-making. You'll be fighting a losing battle trying to have fun out there. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 200 to 500 (low energy) for most of it. Honestly, it's a long, flat, frustrating stretch. There's a gap of about 9 days where I wouldn't bother paddling out.

Now, things start to get interesting around the 25th of July. That Saturday morning, we see a pulse of longer period swell, 21 seconds, coming from the SSW. The swell height is still small at 3 ft, but the energy jumps to 1533 (strong). The wind is light and onshore, but that long period groundswell could wrap in nicely for a sandbar. The real standout, though, is the 26th of July, Sunday. The swell builds to 6 ft from the SSW, with a period of 14 seconds, and the combined energy hits a massive 2053 (very strong). The wind is a light cross-on from the SW, so it won't be glassy, but it's manageable. That's the biggest, most powerful swell of the entire forecast. It's a solid size, more for the experienced crew, but the potential is there for some fun lines if the sandbar holds.

The 27th of July, Monday, still has some leftover energy, 5 ft from the SW with an 18-second period, and the energy is still strong at 1538. The wind is light and cross-on, offering a cleaner option than the peak of the swell on Sunday. If you're looking for a slightly less hectic day, that's your window.

So, to sum it up: the first 9 days are a complete dud. The standout is Sunday, the 26th of July, with the biggest and most powerful swell of the whole period. It's a wait-and-see situation, but it's the only one worth marking on the calendar.

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.
