Table - best surf conditions forecast for D Street over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's see what this 16-day stretch has in store for us.
Honestly, the outlook is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf. The good news is that the water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at a balmy 70° on Wednesday morning, so at least you won't need a thick suit.
The first real chance of anything worthwhile doesn't arrive until the middle of the second week. We've got a long gap of poor to marginal conditions from the 8th of July all the way through to the 18th. The swell is tiny, often under 3ft, and the wind is consistently cross-onshore or onshore, chopping things up. The combined wave energy is weak, staying in the low hundreds, and the scores are low. It's not a time to get excited.
The first flicker of hope comes on the morning of the 18th of July, with a pulse of 3ft swell from the SW, but it's still just marginal. The real standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of the 19th of July. The swell jumps to 6ft from the S, with a period of 16 seconds. That's a solid groundswell with a lot of energy behind it (2238). The wind is light and onshore, which is a bit of a bummer, but it'll be the biggest surf of the whole period. D Street is a sandbar, so a long period swell from the south can be a bit tricky, but it's the only real window of size. It's getting up there in height, so it's probably not for beginners.
The rest of the second week stays marginal, with another little bump on the 23rd of July, with 5ft from the S and a 17-second period, but again, the wind is cross-onshore, keeping it from being a proper standout.
So, digging deep, the 19th of July is the one to keep an eye on for the biggest waves, but it's not going to be clean. The 23rd might offer a bit more shape if the wind plays nice, but it's a long way out. It's a tough run, but things can change.
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.
