The Lowdown

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for D Street.

Honestly, mate, for the next couple of weeks, it’s a bit of a grind. The first few days are looking pretty ordinary – we’ve got small, onshore wind-affected swell and the forecast is calling it marginal at best. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, which is going to put a bit of chop on the surface. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

We’ve got a long, slow start. Don’t even bother paddling out until Sunday the 28th. That’s when things start to get interesting. The swell is coming from the SSW at 4 ft to 5 ft, but the big talking point is the period – it’s up around 17 seconds, so that’s a proper long-period groundswell. The energy is moderate to strong (1012 to 1207), but the wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it’s going to be a bit choppy.

The real standout, if you’re an expert, is looking at Friday the 31st of July. We’ve got a solid 8 ft swell from the S, with a 16-second period. That’s a big, powerful groundswell. The energy is very strong (3272). The wind is onshore from the WNW, but it’s light. That’s a heavy day, though – 8 ft is only for experienced surfers. It’s a sandbar break, so that long period swell might make it a bit straight and fast, but for the crew who know what they’re doing, it could be the best of the forecast.

After that, it drops off quickly. The first of August sees it back down to 7 ft, and by the 2nd it’s gone again, with poor conditions and strong cross-shore wind.

So, to be honest, the pick of the whole 16 days is the 31st of July. It’s a big, powerful swell, but it’s not for the faint-hearted. The 27th and 28th offer a bit of fun, but with that cross-onshore wind, it’s not going to be perfect. Keep an eye on the long-range charts, because this one might clean up, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
