Table - best surf conditions forecast for Topaz Street over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me take a look at the charts for Topaz Street. It’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead, tell you what. Got a 16-day window here, but don’t get too worked up for the first part. The opening week is mostly flat and messy. The water is 69°F, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like we’re in a mini heatwave.
The first real chance to get wet is around Thursday, July 16th. The morning shows a tiny 1ft swell from the southwest, running on a 16-second period. That long period means those waves will have a bit of punch for their size, but the combined energy is only a moderate 163 – not a lot of grunt. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze out of the SSE, which is a major plus. It’ll be clean. But it’s small, and being a beach/jetty setup, that long period (16s) could make for some straight closeouts. Expect knee-high, clean waves for the patient ones.
Crowds are possible here, but with surf this small, it’ll just be a few locals.
The next little bump of energy rolls in on Saturday, July 18th. The morning shows 2ft of southwest swell, again with a long 18-second period. The combined energy jumps to 336 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-on from the SW, which isn’t perfect but it’s doable. The forecast says "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions," so it’s a bit of a gamble. Still, that size is right for the beginners that this spot is known for.
The best of the whole stretch, if you can call it that, looks like Saturday, July 25th. The morning has 3ft of swell from the SSW with a 13-second period. The combined energy is a solid 504 (strong). The wind is a light cross-on from the SW, so it’ll be a bit textured but not blown out. That 3ft is the biggest we’ll see, but it’s still more of a fun-sized wave for the experienced crew, not for groms. The wind isn’t glassy, but it’s not terrible. For a place that’s been quiet for a week, this is the one to watch. Just remember it’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it.
After that, the swell drops back to 1ft to 2ft for the final few days, with the same cross-on wind. Not much to get excited about.
Overall, it’s a lean run. The first week is a write-off, then we get a few small, clean windows. If you’re desperate, the morning of July 25th is your best bet. Otherwise, the forecast might change – it tends not to stay this flat for long.
