The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a rough one. For the first 12 days, from now through to about the 13th of August, it’s basically a write-off for any decent waves. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 3ft, and the wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, messing up what little bump there is. The water is running warm at 76°, which is a good 9° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s pretty unusual, feels like bathwater. But it ain’t helping the surf. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 200 (197) on the first morning, and it stays low for days. You’re better off doing something else.
There’s a glimmer of hope starting Thursday the 14th. The swell starts to build, with the morning of the 14th showing 3ft from the SW with a solid 18-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, and the energy jumps to 698 (moderate). The wind is *on* from the West at 10 km/h (6 mph), which is offshore for D Street. That’s the first real clean window we’ve seen. The waves will be lined up, but with that long period, it’ll be a bit more walled up on this sandbar setup – better for a longer board.
Friday the 15th is the best of the bunch. Still clean in the morning with offshore winds, and the swell holds at 4ft from the SW. The energy is strong (722). It’s not huge, but for this spot, that’s a fun, rideable size. The water is still glassy. Crowds are *often* an issue here, so expect company if you paddle out. This is the one window where it’s worth a look.
After that, it fades quickly. The 16th and 17th drop back down to 3ft to 3ft, and the wind turns cross-onshore again, washing it out. The whole 16-day run is a lesson in patience.
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.
