The Lowdown
Alright gang, Rusty here fillin’ you in.
We’ve got a 16-day window ahead, and it starts off with a little gem before fizzling out. The first real wave hits Friday morning, July 24th, and that’s the highlight of the entire run.
Topaz Street is the place to be. Friday morning, July 24th, you’re looking at a clean 2ft SSW swell with a super long period of 24 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and the combined energy is 567 (moderate), which is solid for the size. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore from the SSE, leaving the surface glassy. The water temperature is 72°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than the long-term average for this time of year – that’s very unusual, you’ll be in a t-shirt. This spot is a beach/jetty setup, so with a long period swell like this, it can sometimes run a bit straight, but the clean offshore wind should sort it out. This is the one to chase.
Saturday morning July 25th is a decent backup. The swell is 2ft from the SW with a 21-second period, still a proper groundswell energy (521), but the wind is a light cross-shore, putting a few ripples on the face. It’s surfable, just not as clean as Friday.
Sunday morning July 26th brings another clean window. Swell is 3ft from the SSW, 19-second period, and a cross-offshore breeze from the SSE. Combined energy is 535 (moderate). It’s a fun, clean morning, but the swell is still small. Good for beginners.
Then Monday, July 27th through Tuesday, July 28th gets a bit choppy. The swell sits around 3ft from the SSW, but the wind turns cross or cross-onshore, messing up the surface. The energy is still moderate (576-651), but the conditions are marginal.
Wednesday, July 29th and Thursday, July 30th mornings are clean again with cross-offshore winds, but the swell drops to 3ft and the period shortens to 16 seconds. Energy drops to 411 then 285 (weak to moderate). Still a paddle, but not special.
Then we hit a rough patch. From Friday, July 31st through Sunday, August 2nd, the swell rises to 4ft to 4ft, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and conditions are poor. The period drops to 13-14 seconds. The energy is moderate (538-653), but the wind is ruining it. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
From Monday, August 3rd through Saturday, August 8th, it’s a slow, weak end. The swell drops to 1ft to 2ft, the period is all over the place (12-16 seconds), and the combined energy falls to weak levels (78-156). The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. The wave comment is “poor” or “ordinary.” Not worth your time.
Bottom line: Friday morning July 24th is your best bet. Clean, glassy, warm water, and a long period groundswell. Sunday morning July 26th is a solid second. After that, it’s a long wait.
Stay stoked,
Rusty

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.
