The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Topaz Street.
We’re kicking off a long 16-day outlook, and I’ll be straight with you—there’s a heap of average to poor conditions in the mix, but a couple of windows do shine through. The first real standout is on Wednesday morning, 26 August. We’ve got a clean 3 ft swell from the south with a 12-second period, combined wave energy of 338—moderate—and a light SSE cross-off breeze at 6 mph. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing dramatic there. This is the best session of the early period, and with a light breeze it’s going to be clean and fun for a beginner-friendly wave.
After that, we hit a long dry spell. Thursday 27 August through to Tuesday 1 September is mostly poor—onshore winds, choppy conditions, and only tiny surf. Wednesday 2 September afternoon sees a bump in swell to 3 ft from the SSW, but with a moderate onshore wind it’s messy and not worth paddling out.
Then we get the real highlight of the whole outlook. On Thursday morning, 3 September, we’ve got glassy conditions—a 3 mph SE breeze, near dead calm—and a clean 3 ft swell from the SSW with a 15-second period. Combined energy is 540 (moderate to strong). This is a long-period groundswell, so it’s got shape and push, though it might break a little straight at a beach like this. Still, with glassy conditions, this is the best session on offer. It’s a gem for a beginner to intermediate surfer.
After that, it’s a slog. Friday 4 September through to Wednesday 10 September is mostly onshore winds, poor conditions, and marginal surf. The swell stays around 1 ft to 3 ft but with the wind straight onshore, it’s not worth your time. A couple of days in the second week show a light breeze on the morning of 7 September and 10 September, but the swell is small and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, so nothing to get excited about.
Bottom line: the best windows are Wednesday morning 26 August and especially Thursday morning 3 September. That glassy morning is the one to circle.
Rusty.
