The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, so the outlook for D Street is a bit of a mixed bag, but there's a glimmer of hope if you're patient. The water is sitting at a warm 74°, which is a massive 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's very unusual, so you might not even need a spring suit.
We start off with a bit of a slow burn. From Sunday the 26th through to Wednesday the 30th of July, we've got small, clean-ish waves, but the reports are all saying marginal. The swell is coming from the SSW/SW, around 4ft to 4ft, but the wind is mostly a light cross-onshore, which is keeping things a bit bumpy. The combined energy is moderate, ranging from around 961 up to 1246. It's not a write-off, but you wouldn't paddle out expecting much.
Then things get a little more interesting. Thursday the 30th of July morning sees a bump in size to 6ft from the S, with a period of 14 seconds. The wind swings to a light onshore from the W in the afternoon, with the energy jumping to 1288. Still, the reports are calling it marginal.
The real standout of the whole forecast is Friday the 31st of July. The morning session looks like the best on offer. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the S, with a period of 14 seconds, and a light onshore breeze from the W. The combined energy is strong at 1346. It's still a beach break, so that period isn't super long, but it's enough to push some decent lines through. This is the one to aim for if you can get a session in. The afternoon will drop a bit to 6ft, but still with light onshore wind.
After that, it's a slow fade. Saturday the 1st of August has 5ft dropping to 5ft, and then from Sunday the 2nd of August onwards, we hit a long dry spell. The swell drops to under 3ft, with weak energy readings around 124 to 552. The waves are poor and it stays that way right through to Monday the 10th of August. There's a long gap of flat, poor conditions for over a week.
So, to sum it up: the best bet is Friday the 31st of July morning. The rest of the first week is small and marginal, and the second week is pretty much a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. The setup is a beach break, so with the wind that's forecast, some of those windier days might actually be more interesting for the kite crowd than for us.
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.

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.
