Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for D Street.
To be honest, the next week and a half is mostly a bust. We’ve got a long dry spell where the waves are tiny and the wind is either blowing cross-on or onshore, so finding something rideable is a real grind. The water is sitting at 69°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least you won’t be shivering while you’re waiting for nothing much.
The one bright spot doesn’t show up until Sunday, July 12th. After days of junk, Sunday afternoon finally gives us a chance. Swell is only 2ft from the SW, period 14 seconds, so the energy is low (378 total energy), but the wind goes glassy. That’s the key – glassy conditions are rare in this forecast, so that Sunday afternoon window is your only real shot at a clean little wave. It’s small, so it’s perfect for a longboard or a funboard, and a beginner could handle it fine. It won’t be pumping, but compared to everything else, it’s the best on offer.
Before that, it’s a wasteland. From Friday, July 3rd through Saturday, July 11th, you’ve got almost nothing. Swell runs between 2ft and 3ft, but the wind is almost always cross-on or onshore, and the wave descriptions are “poor” or “marginal” the whole way. The combined swell energy is moderate (in the 400s and 500s) but it’s completely wasted by the messy wind. Expect closeouts and chop.
After the 12th, it drops off again. Monday the 13th onward the swell shrinks further, often below 2ft, with cross-on breeze again. Not worth the effort.
So here’s the deal: your one window is Sunday afternoon, July 12th. It’s not going to be epic, but with glassy conditions and a small clean swell, that’s your best shot in a long, quiet stretch. Keep an eye on 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.
