The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles per hour. Topaz Street is a beach/jetty break exposed to the west, so it catches south and southwest swells. It's often crowded, so be ready to share the water. Water temp is about normal for the season.
The first week, from Thursday July 16 to Friday July 24, is mostly small and mediocre. It starts with a tiny 1.3ft south‑west groundswell on Thursday morning – period a long 16 seconds, energy moderate (164), but the cross‑off wind keeps it clean. Still, it's hardly knee‑high. Thursday afternoon and all Friday are similar junk – clean but tiny. Saturday July 18 sees a slight bump to 2.0ft, still south‑west, and the morning looks clean with a light cross‑off – you might snag a few ankle‑slappers if you're keen. Sunday morning brings 3.3ft from the south, period 15 seconds, but cross winds and marginal tide make it messy. Afternoons get blown out by onshores. Monday and Tuesday are more of the same – small, clean mornings with a little more push on Tuesday (2.6ft SSW, 16 seconds, energy 391) but nothing special. Wednesday and Thursday are just tiny with light winds. Friday July 24 morning features a very long‑period 2.0ft south‑west groundswell (24 seconds!) with moderate energy (843) and cross‑shore wind – still only knee‑high.
Now for the good stuff. Saturday July 25 is the one to circle. That morning, a solid 3.9ft south‑southwest groundswell rolls in with a 15‑second period and strong energy (1160). Winds are light and cross‑off from the SSE, so it'll be clean. This is chest‑high and proper groundswell – excellent for experienced surfers. The long period might make it a bit straight at a beach break, but the conditions are primo. Sunday July

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.
