Table - best surf conditions forecast for D Street over the next 16 days.


Alright, this is Rusty, and I've got the lowdown on the local surf scene. We're looking at the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it's gonna be a bit of a grind. D Street is the only game in town, but don't expect fireworks.

Right now, we're in a bit of a flat spell. The first real sniff of a surfable wave won't come until Saturday afternoon, July 11th, and even then it's a struggle. We've got a 3 ft swell from the SSW, but it's coming in with a cross-onshore breeze. The water is a balmy 71°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, nearly 5° above average, so a spring suit might be all you need. The combined swell energy is moderate (470), but the conditions are a bit messy. This is really just a marginal window if you're desperate.

The whole first week is a tough slog. Through Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, the swell drops and the wind swings around, but it's never really clean. The scores are all low, and the commentary doesn't lie – it's "poor surf conditions" or "marginal" at best. We're looking at a solid gap of a few days where there's just no recommendation to be had. It's a waiting game.

Now, for the second week, things start to look a little more promising, but we're still talking about small, clean waves. The standout window is actually Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th of July. The early part of the week shows a pulse of very long-period swell, with periods hitting 24 seconds, but the heights are tiny. That long period groundswell is best for a point or reef, but at a sandbar like D Street, it might just break too straight and fat.

The real highlight looks like Saturday the 25th. We've got a 3 ft swell from the SW, with a very long period of 21 seconds, and the wind is light and offshore from the west. The combined energy will be strong (979), which is the most energy we've seen all forecast. It's a morning session, that's for sure. The wave state is still a bit marginal, but with offshore wind and some energy in the water, it's the best bet. It's still small, so not one for the experts, but for a longboard or a funboard, it could be a nice little session. Sunday the 26th is similar, a touch smaller, but still a good option.

So, to wrap it up: don't bother with the first week. The second week offers a few windows of light wind and small, clean swells, with Saturday the 25th being the one to circle on the calendar. It's a quiet period for the region, but that's how it goes sometimes. Keep an eye on the charts, and hopefully, we'll see a better pulse down the line.

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.
