The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. We're going through a quiet spell at D Street for the next couple of weeks. The water temperature is a warm 76° this Monday morning, which is much warmer than usual for early August – a nice surprise for anyone getting wet.
Right now, there's nothing doing. The swell is tiny from the south-southwest, and we've got a cross-onshore breeze making a mess of things. The combined swell energy is only 324, so it's weak through and through. Not worth a paddle on Monday.
It starts to look a little more hopeful as we move into Thursday the 13th. The swell energy climbs into the 300s and 400s, but we're still only looking at knee-high waves. The wind does ease, though, and by Friday the 14th we get a bit more. A south-southwest swell with an 18-second period rolls in, and the energy hits 731 – that's moderate. Winds are light but onshore, so the surface should be passable. Saturday the 15th morning is the pick of the fortnight. Waist-high swell from the southwest, a nice 16-second period, and the wind is barely a whisper. Combined energy sits at 670, which gives the waves a bit of punch. Conditions are marginal, but that morning window is your best bet.
After that, it slides downhill. Winds become more cross-onshore, the swell periods shrink, and the energy drops off. From Sunday the 16th onward, it's mostly poor right through to the end of the forecast. There is a bump on Saturday the 22nd with a waist-high, short-period westerly swell, but it's choppy with cross-onshore breezes again.
So, the takeaway: keep an eye on Friday morning and especially Saturday morning of the first week. It won't be firing, but that Saturday morning with near-calm winds and a solid groundswell could offer a few clean runners. Otherwise, it's a waiting game.
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.
