The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the next fortnight at Topaz Street is a real mixed bag. We’ve got some tiny windows of clean surf, but a lot of onshore chop and flat spells to wade through. The first few days are pretty average, with a bit of swell but the wind is just not playing ball. The real standout is a couple of mornings that look absolutely magic.
We start off Monday the 20th with a small 2ft SSW swell (286 combined energy), but it’s a cross-shore breeze, so it’s a bit bumpy. Not great. The afternoon goes onshore and turns to junk. Tuesday the 21st is similar – a little more size at 3ft in the morning (484 combined energy) but still cross-shore. Wednesday and Thursday the 22nd and 23rd are more of the same: small, messy, and the afternoons are blown out. Nothing to get excited about.
Then, Friday the 24th. That’s the one. Friday morning, we get a clean 2ft SSW swell with a very long period of 24 seconds (691 combined energy). The wind is a light cross-offshore, so the waves will be glassy and smooth. That’s a real treat for a beach break – those long period lines will wrap in nicely, though the sets will be a bit spaced out. It’s small, but it’ll be perfect for a longboard or a funboard. The water is about average for this time of year.
Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are back to marginal, with cross-shore winds and the swell dropping a touch. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th offer a repeat performance: Tuesday morning the 28th is another clean one. A 3ft SSW swell with a 17-second period (574 combined energy) and a cross-offshore breeze. That’s your second-best window. Expect clean, peeling waves, though it might be a bit more fat than Friday.
After that, we slide into a long, slow fade. From Wednesday the 29th of July onwards, the swell drops right off and the winds turn onshore or cross-onshore, churning up the surface. The combined energy starts to fall from 451 down to just 74 by Monday the 3rd of August. The last few days are basically flat, with weak, choppy, onshore slop. There’s a big gap of nothing from the 2nd of August right through to the end of the forecast on the 4th.
So, to sum it up: the best surf on offer is Friday morning the 24th of July, with that clean, glassy 2ft SSW groundswell. The next best is Tuesday morning the 28th, also clean with a 3ft SSW swell. The rest? You’re better off checking the forecast again later. This break is fairly consistent, so it won’t stay poor forever.
Rusty.

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.

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.
