The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this 16-day window for D Street is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of small, non-cooperative swell and tricky winds, so don't get your hopes up for any classic sessions.

The outlook kicks off on Thursday the 6th of August with a tiny 2-foot SW swell at 13 seconds, but it's already messy with a 9 mph W wind onshore. The wave energy is weak, sitting at (250), and the water is a balmy 76.3° – that's 8.6° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is pretty wild. The problem is, the conditions are just poor. That same pattern – small swell, onshore or cross-onshore winds – drags on through the whole first week and into the second. We get a few pulses of longer period groundswell, like Friday morning seeing a 2.3-foot SSW swell with a 19-second period, and the energy bumps up to (483), but the wind is still on it, making it choppy and unappealing.

The only slight glimmer comes around Friday the 14th of August. The swell picks up a notch, still small at 2.3 to 2.6 feet, but the period is a solid 18 seconds from the SSW, and the energy jumps into the strong range (612 to 767). More importantly, the wind switches to a clean offshore (W 9 mph). That Saturday the 15th sees the biggest swell of the forecast at 4 feet, clean W wind, but the energy is still moderate to strong (749). The guide calls it "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions," so it's a bit of a gamble. It's the best on offer, but it's not a standout by any stretch. For a sandbar setup like D Street, a long period swell like this (14-16 seconds) can sometimes break too straight, but with clean offshore wind, it might just offer a few fun, lined-up waves.

After that, it's back to the same old story – small, messy, and cross-onshore through until the 21st of August. There's a good 10-day stretch from the 6th to the 15th with very little to recommend, and then another long gap of poor conditions. Honestly, if you have a kite, those cross-onshore days with moderate wind might be more interesting than paddling out for these tiny, weak waves. For now, keep your board waxed and wait for a better window.

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.
