Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty grim for D Street over this whole forecast period. We’re staring down a long, flat spell with barely a ripple worth getting wet for. The water’s sitting at 68°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first few days, starting Thursday July 2nd, are a total write-off. We’ve got a touch of long-period groundswell, but it’s weak and the waves are labelled as "poor surf conditions." That’s the story through the 5th. Swell heights are struggling around 2ft to 3ft with periods up to 18 seconds, which would be fine if the quality was there, but it’s not. The onshore wind kills any chance of it.
Around Monday July 6th, the reports start calling it "marginal" rather than poor. That’s the tiny glimmer of hope. Swell ticks up ever so slightly to 4ft by Wednesday July 8th with a 16-second period and we get some lighter cross-on winds that would keep it from being total wind slop. But honestly, "marginal" means it’ll be small, weak, and underwhelming. D Street is exposed to a SSW swell with a SW optimum, so direction is off for the best shape. The light breeze will help, but don’t expect anything memorable.
After the 8th, it’s all downhill again. By the second week, from around Sunday July 12th onward, the swell just fades away. Heights drop to 2ft and the wind stays messy and onshore. From the 14th to the 17th, it’s a ghost town. This area is a sandbar setup, so a total lull like this isn’t out of the ordinary.
Bottom line: there’s nothing here to pump your tyres up for. The only window where you might find a sad little wave is the morning of Wednesday July 8th, but even that’s a stretch. For this break, I’d be leaving the board in the car for a couple more weeks.
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.
