Right, let’s have a look at the overall pattern for this region. To be straight with you, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. We’ve got a long run of days where the surf is just not doing us any favours. There’s a gap of about three days at the start with no real recommendation, and it’s not until Sunday the 5th of July that we even see a glimmer of something worth paddling out for, and even then, it’s marginal at best.
The first real standout – and I mean the only one worth getting a bit excited about – comes around Monday the 6th of July, at D Street. The swell builds a touch through the morning, pushing to about 3ft from the SSW, with a long period of 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy hits 852 (strong). The water is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The wind is light offshore from the WSW, so it’ll be clean, glassy even. For a sandbar spot that can get a bit inconsistent, this is the time to go. Be ready for long waits between sets, but the waves should have some real push and shape. The break is fairly consistent normally, but given the long period, it might break a bit straight if you’re at a beach setup, so keep your eyes peeled.
Through Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th of July, the swell hangs in around 4ft, still from the SSW, but the wind swings a bit cross-onshore, so it won’t be as pristine. The energy stays moderate to strong (854), but the chop will take the edge off. Not a complete waste, but not the standout.
After that, from the 9th of July onward, the swell slowly fades and the wind stays messy. By the second week, things drop right off. Heights fall below 3ft, periods shorten, and the combined energy sinks below 300. It’s pretty flat and uninspiring through until the 17th of July, when a tiny pulse from the WNW shows up, but at 2ft and 19-second period, it’s too weak and straight to get excited about. Honestly, unless you’re desperate for a longboard or a SUP, the gear might as well stay in the shed.
So, for this region, the only true shout is Monday the 6th of July at D Street. Clean, solid groundswell, light offshore. Get on it if you can.

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.
