The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, talkin’ about Topaz Street. It’s a beach and jetty break, wide open to the west, and mostly a place for beginners to find their feet. We’ve got a slow start, but there’s a little pulse of energy mid-first week.
Right off the bat, there’s a dry spell. From Tuesday the 1st through to Thursday morning the 3rd, the swell is tiny – 1ft to 2ft – and the wind is messy, mostly onshore or cross-on. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate (82 to 313). Not worth a second look.
Friday morning the 4th is our first real chance. A clean 2ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, light cross-offshore wind from the SE, and combined energy at 400. That’s a nice little window for a beginner-friendly wave, clean and lined up. Water temp is 75°F – much warmer than normal for this time of year, so shorts and a rashguard will do.
The standout is Sunday afternoon the 6th. Swell builds to 4ft from the S, period 14 seconds, and combined energy jumps to a strong 606. The wind is light cross-offshore from the ENE, and the forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s your best session. The crowd factor is “often,” so expect some folks out, but for a clean south swell with light offshore breeze, it’s worth the company.
Monday morning the 7th brings the biggest swell – 5ft from the S, period 15 seconds, with a very strong combined energy of 1135. But the wind is cross-on from the NNW, and conditions are marginal. That size is pushing past beginner territory, and with the wind angle, it’ll be a challenge. More for the experienced crew.
From Tuesday the 8th onward, it’s a long, slow fade. Swell drops to 2ft to 3ft, wind goes onshore or cross-on, and the energy falls off. By the second week, from around the 12th of September through the 16th, it’s tiny waves and poor conditions. Not much to get excited about.
Bottom line: Friday morning the 4th for a clean beginner wave, and Sunday afternoon the 6th is the best session overall – a solid, clean south swell with light offshore wind. After that, the surf goes quiet.
Catch you in the water,
Rusty

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.
