The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what we’ve got for D Street over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you, it’s a tough stretch.
Right off the bat, we're looking at a proper dry spell. There's nothing worth paddling out for from now until mid-August. The surf is tiny, the wind is mostly a cross-onshore mess, and it's just flat, poor conditions day after day. You’re looking at a long 10-day gap with no recommendations.
The first real flicker of something interesting shows up around Friday the 14th, but even then, it's only a "marginal" shout. The swell is starting to build from the SSW, pushing 2.3ft to 3.0ft, with a solid period around 18 seconds. You’ll feel some of that groundswell energy (523-780), which gives it more shape, but the problem is the wind. Onshore and cross-onshore winds at 9 mph will keep the surface messy. It's not a green light, just a heads up that the ocean is waking up.
The best chance we get in this whole window is on Saturday the 15th. Finally, the swell kicks up to a proper 4.0ft from the SSW, with a 16-second period. The combined energy is up there at 764. The wind is a lighter breeze, under 6 mph, staying cross-onshore. It’s cleaner than anything we’ve seen, but for D Street, it's still a sandbar break and with that longer period, the waves might stand up a bit too straight and be a bit tricky. It’s not for beginners at that size, and the cross-onshore wind keeps it from being glassy perfection. Crowds are likely here, so be prepared to share.
Overall, it’s a bleak outlook for the next two weeks. That 10-day flat spell is brutal. The best you can hope for is a semi-decent session on the 15th, but keep your expectations low. The water temperature is running a very unusual 76.5°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you'll be comfortable while you're sitting on your board waiting for a wave that never really comes together right.

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.
