Table - best surf conditions forecast for Topaz Street over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks.
Right now, the surf is pretty flat. We're looking at wave heights around 1 to 2 feet from the southwest for the first several days, with mostly cross-shore or onshore winds messing up the surface. The energy is moderate at best. It's a slow start. Thursday the 16th and Saturday the 18th have some cleaner, cross-offshore or light cross-shore conditions, but the swell is still tiny. It's a tough stretch.
The best chance for a proper session hits on Tuesday morning, July 28th. We'll see a 3-foot swell from the south-southwest with a 17-second period, and the wind goes cross-offshore, making for clean waves. The energy reading (655) is solid. That's the day to circle.
The biggest swell of the forecast period arrives on Sunday, July 26th, with waves around 5 feet from the south-southwest. The energy is strong (1105), but the wind is cross-onshore, so it'll be a bit of a battle. That one's for the experts.
Other than that, the rest of the forecast is a mix of small, cleanish mornings and onshore afternoons. Water temperature is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
Clear the calendar for Tuesday morning, July 28th: Topaz Street with a clean 3-foot south-southwest swell. That's the one.

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.
