The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a bit of a slow burn ahead for Topaz Street. The first few days are small, but there’s a run of promising mornings starting to shape up towards the end of the month. The water’s sitting at 71°F, which is 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a very unusual warm spell, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty or even trunks.

The first real glimmer is Saturday morning, July 20th at Topaz Street. Swell bumps up to 4 ft from the SSW, with a moderate energy reading of 571. The wind is light from the SSW, creating a cross-off breeze. That’s clean, glassy conditions for a beach/jetty setup. It’s a beginner-friendly size, but the period is a solid 15 seconds, so it’s a proper groundswell with some punch. The only thing to watch is that this spot is exposed, so it’ll take the full hit.

The standout of the whole run, though, is Monday morning, July 27th. Expect very good surf conditions. Clean, cross-off breeze from the SSE at 9 mph, with a clean wave face. The swell is 3 ft from the SSW, but the energy is strong at 625. The 18-second period means long, lined-up waves – this is a groundswell that will wrap nicely. Because it’s a beach/jetty, the long period can make it a bit straight, but the light wind will keep it fun. If you can get out that morning, do it.

The Tuesday morning after that, July 28th, is also worth a mention: 3 ft SSW swell, cross-shore wind, light breeze. Not as clean as the 27th, but still a solid option with moderate energy.

There’s a gap of no real surf after the 1st of August, with the last option being a tiny 2 ft on the 31st of July. The swell just fades out. For the whole 16-day window, the Saturday morning of the 20th and the Monday morning of the 27th are your best bets. The afternoons are generally a write-off with onshore winds, so aim for the early sessions.

Rusty.

Information about the Topaz Street Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Topaz Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Topaz Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Topaz 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 (Topaz 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 Topaz 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.
