The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at Topaz Street over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag – nothing firing straight away, but there are a few tasty windows if you’re patient.
The first couple of days are pretty flat and messy. Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th are mostly cross-on or onshore, with tiny 2ft to 2.3ft swell and choppy conditions. Not worth the paddle.
Things start to look up on Tuesday morning the 21st. We get a clean, light cross-off breeze from the SSE, and a 3ft SSW groundswell at 16 seconds. That’s a moderate combined energy of 409, and the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions”. It’s still small, but the wind is right and the sets will have some shape. Crowds are often here, so expect company.
Wednesday and Thursday the 22nd and 23rd are back to cross-on junk – small, choppy, poor. Skip ‘em.
Friday morning the 24th is another keeper. Light SSE cross-off again, with a 2ft SSW swell, but the period is a whopping 24 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. Combined energy 415. The wind is clean, the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions”. Just be aware that such a long period can make a beach break like this a bit straight and tricky, but if you’re on the jetty or a sandbar that lines up, it could be fun.
Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th have a bit more size – 2.3ft – but with cross or cross-on winds and only marginal conditions. The energy is higher (528 and 557) but the quality isn’t there.
Monday morning the 27th sees a 3ft SSW swell at 18 seconds, but it’s a light cross-on wind (SSW at 5 km/h). The wave comment says “marginal” – still might be rideable but not clean.
Now, here’s the standout: Tuesday morning the 28th of July. This is the best of the whole forecast. You’ve got a 3ft SSW swell at 17 seconds, a gentle cross-off breeze from the SSE at 15 km/h, and the wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions”. Combined energy sits at 627 – moderate but solid. The wind is offshore enough to keep the faces clean, and the swell has good period. If you can only pick one session, this is it.
Wednesday the 29th morning is also decent – 3ft SSW, 16 seconds, cross-off, clean – but a step down from Tuesday.
After that, the swell builds a bit. Thursday the 30th is cross-on and mediocre. Friday the 31st morning has a 3.6ft S swell at 16 seconds, but cross-on wind and a marginal call. By afternoon it’s 5ft and onshore – too big for the average surfer here, and choppy. Saturday the 1
