Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight about D Street for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a rough stretch.

The first real chance is Tuesday the 7th. We’ve got a long-period groundswell from the SSW, about 3ft, with an 18-second interval. The water is 70°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. The wind is light and offshore in the morning, so it could be glassy. The combined swell energy is moderate (854), but the wave comment calls it marginal, and the score is low. It just doesn’t have the quality.

From Tuesday afternoon right through Wednesday the 8th, the swell holds around 3ft to 4ft from the SSW, with long periods (16-18 seconds). But the wind shifts cross-onshore, chopping things up. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th get worse, with moderate cross-shore winds and a cross-chop developing. By Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th, the swell drops under 3ft, the period shortens to 14-15 seconds, and the wind stays messy. The combined energy drops into the 300s – weak and weak.

Then we hit a big dead zone. Starting Monday the 14th, for over a week, the swell is tiny, 1ft to 2ft, with energy readings in the low 200s to low 300s. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping it small and poor. There’s a spike in period on the 17th of July to 19 seconds, but with a 1ft swell, it’s nothing you can ride. The wave comments are all “poor surf conditions” or “marginal.” No standouts here.

Late in the run, on the morning of Saturday the 19th, we get a slight bump – 3ft to 3ft SSW swell with a 17-second period and offshore winds from the WNW. The energy climbs into the 500s (moderate). That’s the best of a bad lot, but the afternoon brings a cross-onshore breeze. Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st see the swell hold around 3ft, but the wind is onshore or light cross-onshore, keeping conditions poor. The period drops, and the energy falls back into the 300s.

Pull quote: Honestly, there’s not a single day I’d rush to the water for at D Street in this window. The best chance for clean, lined-up surf would be the morning of Tuesday the 7th, but even that’s “marginal.” For the rest of it, you’re looking at tiny, weak waves with bumpy wind. If you’re a beginner wanting small, clean rollers, maybe that Tuesday morning or the Sunday the 19th morning could work, but don’t get your hopes up. For everyone else, it’s a board-in-the-shed period. Keep checking back – forecasts can change – but right now, it’s a flat spell.

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.
