The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. Over the next 16 days, Topaz Street is going to be a bit of a mixed bag. The water is sitting at 71°—that’s a solid 6° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is pretty wild. It’s like the ocean forgot it’s winter.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday morning, 19 July. We’ve got a clean 2ft swell rolling in from the SW, with a long period of 17 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the SSE, so expect glassy lines. The combined energy (250) is moderate, but that long period means the waves will have some shape. This is the best session on offer early on—small but clean. Keep in mind, with a long period like that, the sets might be a bit spread out, but it’ll be worth the wait.
The next standout is a bit further out, but it’s worth circling on your calendar. On Sunday morning, 26 July, the wind is light and cross-offshore from the SSE again, with a 2ft SW swell, 19-second period. The combined energy jumps to 577 (strong), and the forecast says “very good surf conditions.” This is the best looking day of the whole window. The swell is still small, but that long period groundswell will punch above its weight, and clean conditions will make it surfable and fun.
There’s another promising morning on Friday, 31 July, with a 4ft S swell and 15-second period. The combined energy is 567 (strong), and the wind is light from the SW. It’s a bit more size, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be a little bumpy. Still, for a beginner-friendly spot, that’s a decent option.
Overall, the surf stays small for the whole 16 days—nothing over 4ft. The long period swells (over 15 seconds) are a recurring theme, which means the waves will be cleaner and more powerful than the height suggests, but the breaks will be more spread out. If you’re an expert, there’s not enough size to get excited. For beginners and intermediates, Sunday the 19th and Sunday the 26th are the ones to aim for.
The second week (from 28 July onward) drops off in quality. The wind turns more onshore, the period drops, and the energy fades. It’s still worth checking the morning of 31 July, but don’t expect much after that.
