Table - best surf conditions forecast for D Street over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what D Street is cooking up over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the water's sitting at a really warm 70°, which is a good 4° warmer than usual for the time of year – that's a pretty noticeable jump and a nice bonus for the sessions to come.
Honestly, the first week is pretty flat. We’ve got a very long period (16 second) groundswell sneaking in from the SSW, but it's pretty weak with combined energy readings only in the low hundreds (733). On top of that, the wind is a persistent cross-onshore. It's cleanest on Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th when the wind goes light and offshore, but the swell is tiny – down to 3 ft or 3 ft of that long-period stuff, which at a beach break tends to just close out. It’s a frustrating wait.
The real standout is Saturday the 18th. That’s the day. The morning sees some solid energy building (1069), but the afternoon is where it's at. A strong S swell at 4 ft with a period of 17 seconds pushes the combined energy way up into very strong territory (1659). That’s a lot of grunt. The wind is a light cross-onshore, which will keep the surface reasonably tidy. It should be much better than anything else we've seen, though the long period means it might be a bit tricky on a sandbar like D Street – you'll want to pick your peak carefully. It’s not an expert-only size (4 ft), but the energy is serious. Crowds are often around here, so expect company.
The next day, Sunday the 19th, actually brings more size – 7 ft of S swell – but the period drops a touch and the wind stays cross-on. The combined energy is even higher (2143 in the morning), so this is big, powerful, and a bit messy. That 7 ft size pushes it past beginner territory into intermediate/expert-only with the chop.
After that, the swell fades back down to small stuff through the rest of the second week – nothing to write home about.
So, if you’re picking a session, Saturday the 18th afternoon is the clear winner. It’s not perfect, but it’s got the most energy and the best mix of size and conditions across the whole 16 days. Thursday night, get your gear ready.
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.
