Table - best surf conditions forecast for D Street over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get real about D Street. The next fortnight is a slow burn, and you’re gonna be twiddling your thumbs for a while.
Up until the 18th of July, it’s a total bust. The swell is tiny, mostly around 2-3ft, and the wind is junk—either straight onshore or cross-onshore, just ruining any chance of a clean face. The water is a balmy 71°, which is much warmer than typical for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re watching the flatness.
The only real light in the tunnel, and the clear standout, is Saturday the 18th of July. A proper groundswell from the SSE rolls in, hitting 4ft with a 17-second period. The combined energy is a solid 1320, which means there’s some serious juice. That long period is a double-edged sword – it’ll give you powerful, well-shaped waves, but it might make the takeoffs a bit shifty on a beach break. The wind is set to be light offshore in the afternoon, which should make for some clean, rippable walls. The morning of the 18th is also looking good with a 3ft SSE swell at 19 seconds and even more energy (1109) under light offshore winds. This is a bit big for the groms, but for everyone else, this is the session to chase.
Sunday the 19th still has some size (5ft) but the period drops to 12 seconds and the wind is onshore, so it’s a downgrade. From the 20th onward, it’s back to small, choppy, and messy, with the occasional marginal pulse around the 25th and 26th, but nothing worth getting excited about. Those waves in the second week are just average, with ho-hum energy (around 332-762) and constant onshore breezes.
Bottom line: forget the first two weeks. The one and only day to get your board wet is Saturday the 18th of July.

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.
