The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break it down in feet and miles per hour.
The water's a big story right now – 71°F, which is a solid 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That's very unusual, so you can leave the steamer at home. The pattern for the next few days is dead quiet. There's nothing worth getting wet for until Friday the 24th.
From now until then, it's a long gap. Small waves, bad wind, just poor all around.
Friday morning the 24th is where we finally get something at Topaz Street (beach/jetty) . We're looking at a clean 2 feet SSW groundswell with a super long 24-second period, and that light cross-offshore breeze will have it looking like glass. The energy's moderate at 547. With that period, this is long-period groundswell – it'll have shape and power, but might be a bit straight for the beach. Still, it's the best morning of the outlook.
Saturday morning the 25th keeps the ball rolling. Another clean 2 foot SW swell with 21-second period. Combined energy bumps up to 567. Light south breeze keeping it smooth. That's the second best session we've got.
Sunday the 26th the wind turns onshore and the quality goes south. Monday the 27th morning looks clean again with a 3 foot SW swell, 18-second period, and 568 energy – a good morning, but not the top pick.
After that, the waves hang around into August but get small, weak, and messy. Topaz Street is fairly consistent which is a good sign, but the quality drops off hard. Expect crowds on the good mornings.
Best bet: Friday the 24th or Saturday the 25th. Clean, long-period, light wind. That's your window. The second week is a write-off with tiny weak surf and no highlights.
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.
