The Lowdown
What’s up, it’s Rusty. Let's run down D Street.
Pretty bleak outlook for the next couple weeks. There’s a long stretch of hardly any surf to get excited about. Swell stays tiny, wind is all wrong, and the forecast is calling it “poor surf conditions” day in and day out. Might be time to find something else to do.
Starting Saturday, August 1st, all the way through Friday, August 14th, it’s a bust. Waves are between about 1 ft and 3 ft, with onshore or cross-onshore wind hammering it the whole time. The wave energy is weak, barely cracking into the moderate zone, with readings like 278 and 198 (combined energy). You’d be fighting for a bumpy, choppy ride, and it’s just not worth it.
Things perk up a little on Saturday, August 15th. Swell bumps to about 4 ft from the SW, and the wave energy climbs to 658 (combined energy). That’s the best we’ll see, but the wind is still onshore, so it’ll be lumpy. The period is around 16 seconds, a real groundswell, so the sets will have more punch and longer lulls. On a sandbar like D Street, that long period can make the waves close out a bit straight, but at least there’s some power.
That Saturday morning, August 15th, is the only one worth a look. 4 ft of SW swell with that long 16-second period. The water at the start of the period is a wild 76°F, which is 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a massive anomaly, so the water is warm.
Still, it’s not a standout session. For a spot that usually gets waves, this is a real dry spell. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board in the car.
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.
