The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, switching to feet and Fahrenheit for the imperial crew. Let’s break it down.
The next couple of weeks start out pretty sluggish. Swell is tiny and wind is messy for the first stretch. Thursday morning August 27th offers 1ft of SW swell at 14 seconds, with a light cross-off breeze and combined energy around 172. It’s clean but barely surfable. Water temp is a very unusual 72°, running 6° warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a heated pool.
Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th stay small, with swell around 2 to 3ft, but winds are cross-on or onshore, chopping things up. Combined energy climbs to 427 Saturday morning with a 17-second period, but the wind keeps it average. Sunday the 30th morning is cleaner: 3ft from the SSW, 15-second period, light cross-off breeze, energy at 367. It’s rideable but not special.
Monday through Wednesday stay small and messy. Swell stays around 2ft, winds shift onshore, and combined energy drops to 170-350. Not worth getting wet for.
Now the highlight: Thursday, September 3rd. That morning is the real deal. Expect 5ft of SSW groundswell, 14-second period, with glassy conditions. Combined energy hits 820, moderate to strong. That’s solid head-high, clean, and smooth – the best waves of the entire outlook. Intermediates can handle it, and it’s got enough juice for a proper session. If you’re free that morning, get in the water.
After that, Friday September 4th through the weekend drops back to 3ft to 3ft, with onshore winds returning for the afternoons. Combined energy sits in the 300-500 range. Sunday September 6th and Monday the 7th mornings are clean again with cross-off breezes and 2ft to 3ft swell, but energy is fading.
Tuesday the 8th offers a tiny glassy afternoon window – 2ft, 13 seconds, glassy, combined energy 216. Small but clean. The final days from the 9th to the 11th are mostly small and onshore, with swell around 2ft to 2ft and wind ruining the fun.
Bottom line: don’t bother with the early part. Mark your calendar for Thursday morning September 3rd – that’s the one with clean 5ft SSW groundswell and glassy conditions. After that, it’s back to small and average.
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.
