The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
The water at Topaz Street is a warm 72.7°, which is a full 6.7° hotter than usual – that’s really weird, honestly feels like a hot tub.
Friday the 4th kicks off with a clean 2.6ft SSW groundswell, super long 17 second period, and a light cross-off breeze. The energy is solid at 424, so it’s got some grunt. The long period means the waves will be well-shaped, though at a beach/jetty spot you’ll want to pick your bank. Crowds are common here, so expect company.
The clear standout is Sunday the 6th. Saturday morning goes glassy with a 3ft SSW swell, but Sunday is the real deal. Sunday morning sees offshore wind, 3ft SSW swell with 15 seconds of period, and energy at 493. Then Sunday afternoon goes dead glassy, swell bumps to 3.6ft from the south, period 14 seconds, and energy blasts up to 537. That’s the cleanest, juiciest window.
Monday the 7th jumps to 4.3ft from the south, but the wind turns onshore and messy by afternoon. Tuesday and Wednesday lose size and quality. From the 12th through the 16th, it’s a long flat stretch – tiny swell, weak energy down to 132, just not worth suiting up.
Saturday the 19th gives a little hope: a clean morning with 2ft SW groundswell, a very long 19 second period, and light cross-off wind. Energy hits 356, so it’s small but clean.
Best of the whole run: Sunday the 6th. Glassy or offshore, chest to head-high, long period, and real energy. That’s the one to chase.

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.
