The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for our local stretch.
Well, I’ll be honest with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty average for Topaz Street. The pattern is running long and low. The first solid stretch of recommended surf doesn’t roll in until Friday the 4th of September, so there’s a good week of nothing much before that. Expect plenty of small, choppy slop, mostly onshore or cross-shore winds, and basically no reason to get excited. Then we get a couple of little windows that are worth paddling out for, but it’s a real mixed bag after that.
The water temperature is a massive standout here; it’s unusually warm, measuring about 74° at the start. That’s nearly 8° warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can definitely leave the booties and 4/3 at home. It’s eerily warm, feels more like a tropical lagoon than a beach/jetty.
The best and most consistent window lands Friday the 4th of September in the morning. We’ve got a clean 3 ft SSW swell rolling in with a nice, long 17-second groundswell period and a light cross-off breeze. The combined energy is moderate at (491), and the whole setup is clean. That’s your standout session. It’s small enough for anyone but with that period, it’ll have real shape.
Then again on Saturday the 5th of September, the morning has that same 3 ft SSW swell with the wind turning glassy. That’s a major plus – absolutely clean conditions. The wave energy is moderate (363). The waves will be long-period and groomed. For a mellow, almost empty-feeling morning, that’s the one to get out of bed for.
We also see a small return to form on Monday the 7th of September morning. Again, a cross-off wind keeps it clean with 2 ft SSW swell. It’s not the biggest, but when the rest of the fortnight is onshore slop, any clean wave is a win.
Most afternoons are ruined by strong onshore winds and often by a cross-on mess, so stick to the dawn patrols. The swell doesn’t get over 4 ft, so it’s manageable for all abilities, and crowds are likely here as it’s often busy, but during these two specific mornings, the conditions will thin out the crowd.
Stay patient, don't bother with the doldrums this week, and give it a crack on Friday or Saturday the 5th. It ain't pumping, but it’s the best we’ve got.
Rusty.
