The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it, this is a rough 16-day outlook for Topaz Street. The whole run is plagued by cross-shore, cross-onshore, and onshore winds, and the swell just doesn’t have the power to push through. You’ll be looking at a lot of poor surf conditions and marginal forecasts, with a few days where it’s just not worth the effort.
The first chance to even think about paddling out comes on the 7th of August, and it’s only a marginal call. The morning of Friday the 7th has a tiny 1ft SSW swell with a very long 19-second period, which usually means real energy, but the wind is light and cross-onshore, so it’s going to be a bit messy. The combined energy is moderate (216), but the wave quality just isn’t there. The swell direction is SSW, which is not the optimum W direction for this break, so it’s fighting against the setup.
Saturday the 8th is a repeat – 2ft SSW swell, 17-second period, cross-onshore wind, and only marginal. The light breeze keeps it from being a total washout, but it’s not going to be any fun.
The pattern keeps going through the second week. The swell ticks up a little, hitting 3ft on the morning of the 16th of August, with light cross-onshore winds and a 16-second period. The combined energy hits 330 (moderate), but the poor surf conditions tag is the real story. The swell direction is still SSW, and the wind is never clean enough.
By the 20th of August, the morning shows a 4ft W swell, which is the closest to the optimum direction, but the period drops to a short 7 seconds, and it’s still cross-onshore. That’s windswell, not groundswell, and it’s going to be choppy and weak. The combined energy is 320, but it won’t translate into anything worthwhile.
Honestly, this is a long, bleak stretch. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the best you can hope for is a light breeze morning on the 7th, 8th, or 16th. But even then, don’t expect much. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. For a beach/jetty spot like this, with the wind direction staying stubborn, it’s a real waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, this one’s a write-off.
