The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, D Street’s looking like a bit of a tough stretch. There's a big gap of nothing worthwhile at the start. The first few days are a write-off, with tiny, messy, onshore wind-affected surf. We’re looking at a solid week of duds before anything even remotely interesting pops up.
The first real flicker of life shows up on Friday, August 7th, with a small 2ft swell from the SSW. The period is a very long 19 seconds, which is classic groundswell energy. The combined energy is moderate (484), but it’s a cross-on breeze, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. It’s only a marginal call, and probably best left for the die-hards.
Things get a little more interesting heading into the second week. On Friday, August 14th, the swell picks up a bit. The morning sees a 2ft SSW swell but with a powerful 18-second period, and the combined energy is strong (576). The wind is offshore from the WSW, which is a major positive for clean conditions. Still, the rating is marginal, so it’s not a sure thing.
The best bet of the whole 16-day window, and I mean the *only* real standout, is Saturday, August 15th. We’ve got a 4ft SSW swell rolling in with a solid 16-second period. The offshore winds are holding from the W, keeping the surface clean. The combined energy is strong (743), and it stays on all day. This is a proper small groundswell for D Street, but that offshore wind will make it glassy and fun. It’s still small enough for most, but the long period means the sets will have some punch and the lulls will be longer. This is your day if you’re keen.
The water temperature is a wild 77°—that’s a massive 9° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual. It’s like bathwater out there.
After that Saturday peak, the swell fades quickly through the rest of the week, dropping back to knee-high mush with onshore winds. So, one potential day to circle. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, don’t get your hopes too high.
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.
