The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again. Let's talk about Topaz Street, but in feet and miles per hour.
Over the next 16 days, it's a little touch and go. The water's sitting at 72°, which is about 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's a real standout, you'll feel it. The first few days are a write-off – Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd have poor conditions with messy cross-onshore breezes. A lot of wind, not a lot of wave.
Friday the 24th morning is your best bet across the whole period. Clean 2ft surf from the SW, but it's a long-period groundswell at 24 seconds, so the lines will be drawn and clean. Cross-offshore winds from the SSE at 9 mph will keep the face glassy. The combined energy is moderate (572). The swell direction isn't perfect for the break, but that period and wind make up for it. The afternoon turns light and a bit messy.
Saturday the 25th is a drop-off – 2ft SW swell at 21 seconds but light cross-onshore winds. Not the one.
Sunday the 26th morning is another clean one. Cross-offshore winds, 2-3ft SSW swell at 19 seconds (561 energy). This is a solid Sunday paddle. The afternoon gets a cross-chop.
From Monday the 22nd through Wednesday the 29th, it's marginal. Mornings are usually the better call with cleanish winds, but the swell hangs around 2-3ft and the period drops from 18 to 16 seconds. Not inspiring, but surfable.
Thursday the 30th morning is clean and small – 2ft at 16 seconds (224 energy). Friday the 31st morning is even smaller, 2ft at 14 seconds (144 energy). Ordinary conditions.
The first weekend of August sees a bit more size – Saturday the 1st afternoon hits 3-4ft but with a strong 15 mph onshore wind. That's blown out. Sunday the 2nd morning has 3ft with light cross-shore winds, so it's marginal. Energy is moderate (359).
The second week trails off into smaller, shorter-period swell with mostly cross or onshore breezes. Not much to get excited about.
The real standouts are Friday the 24th and Sunday the 26th mornings. Clean, lined-up, and with enough period to make it worthwhile. For a beach/jetty spot like this, that long-period groundswell is your friend. Just keep an eye on the crowd – it can get busy.
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.
