The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the cards for Topaz Street. It’s a slow start, but there are a few cracks in the poor weather that you can sneak through.
The first few days are a write-off. From Friday the 21st through Sunday the 23rd of August, the swell is barely 1ft, with a cross-onshore wind ruining any chance of a clean wave. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting at (135) on Friday and (206) by Sunday. The water temp is a mild 69°, feeling a bit warmer than usual for this time of year.
From Monday the 24th to Wednesday the 26th, the swell picks up a little, hitting 3ft, but the wind is still cross-onshore or onshore, making it choppy. The wave energy gets to (476) on the morning of the 26th, but it’s not worth a paddle.
Now, our first real window. Thursday morning, the 27th of August. The swell is 3ft from the S, and the wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the SSE, giving us clean, smooth faces. The wave energy is solid at (364), with a 12-second period. That’s a groundswell, so it’ll have some proper shape. The break is a beach/jetty, so that long period might make the waves dump a bit quick, but it’s the cleanest we’ve seen.
The next standout is Saturday morning, the 29th of August. The swell is 3ft from the SSW, with a long 17-second period, and again we get that light cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is pumping at (372). It’s a small, clean, lined-up session. The break is fairly consistent, so you’ll get waves. The crowds are often here, so expect company.
The start of September brings more wind and messy surf. The first week looks like a hard slog, with onshore winds and small, gutless swell. Those days might be better suited to a kite than a surfboard.
Your best bets are Thursday the 27th and Saturday the 29th of August. Small, clean, and with some proper groundswell energy. The rest of the outlook is a bit of a waiting game.
Rusty, signing off.
