Table - best surf conditions forecast for Topaz Street over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. The next 16 days are looking pretty slim overall here at Topaz Street. This is a beach and jetty setup that's exposed to the west, and while it's fairly consistent, the conditions are just not lining up for much of the period. There's a big gap of poor surf and messy winds, so we're waiting for a few specific windows.
Water temps are running a wild 6°F above the seasonal average, so it's much warmer than normal for this time of year. That's very unusual.
The standout session is Friday morning, August 28th. We've got a 2ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a long 17 second period, and the wind is forecast to be glassy. That's about as clean as it gets. The combined swell energy is moderate at 249. It's small, but with those conditions it'll be a beautiful, clean little wave. This is a beginner-friendly break, and that morning will be the best of the whole run.
Monday morning, August 31st, is another one to pencil in. The swell is similar at 2ft from the SSW with a 14 second period, and we're seeing a light cross-off breeze from the SSE. That should keep things clean. The combined energy is 237. It's not a big day, but it's surfable.
The rest of the period is mostly a write-off. Onshore winds, cross-on breezes, and poor surf conditions dominate. There are a few mornings with marginal surf, like Saturday August 29th or Sunday August 30th, but the winds and swell quality just aren't there to make them worth chasing. Even the small windows of cleaner conditions later in the first week of September get messed up by cross-on winds.
So, honestly, your best bet is to aim for that Friday morning glass-off. It's a rare moment of calm in an otherwise choppy stretch. Don't hold your breath for the second week – it's a lot of the same story.
