The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Straight up, over the next couple of weeks, we’re looking at a mixed bag. There’s some small swell hanging around, but the wind is going to be the main character, and most of the time it’s gonna be a bit of a letdown. For the first week, the best bet is to focus on the mornings when the breeze is light. We’ll see a real run of days where the afternoons are just blown out, so don’t bother with those.

The standout period is shaping up around Friday morning, September 4th, through to Sunday morning, September 6th. The water temp is a wild 74°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus.

Let’s start with the best of the bunch. On Friday morning, September 4th, Topaz Street should see a clean 3 ft swell from the SSW with a nice long 17-second period. The wind is light from the SSE, giving us a cross-off breeze, which is prime. The combined energy is moderate (435), so it’ll have some push. This is the pick of the whole forecast. The water is unusually warm, as I said, so you'll be comfortable.

Saturday morning, September 5th, is also a play. The swell is still 3 ft from the SSW, 16-second period, with a light cross-shore breeze from the S at only 3 mph. It’s clean, but the energy is a bit lower (328). It’s a solid option, but the Friday morning is the better wave.

Sunday morning, September 6th, the swell bumps up to 4 ft from the S with a 15-second period, and the wind is again light cross-shore from the S at 3 mph. The energy is moderate (538). It’s a bit more size, but the conditions are a little more marginal. Still a good morning if you’re free.

Now, the rest of the first week. Wednesday and Thursday mornings (September 2nd and 3rd) are surfable but very ordinary. Tiny 1 ft waves with a light cross-off breeze, but there’s just not enough juice to get excited about. The afternoons go straight to onshore slop.

From Monday the 7th onwards, the mornings are all cross-on or onshore winds, with the swell hovering around 3 ft to 4 ft. The energy is there, but the wind just ruins it. The afternoons are a write-off with strong onshore winds.

Then we hit a real dry spell. From Tuesday, September 15th, through to Thursday, September 17th, the swell drops to 1.0 ft or 1 ft. The wind is onshore or cross-on, and the energy is weak (98 to 134). There’s just nothing to get on. It’s a proper flat spell.

There is one weird day to note: Friday morning, September 11th. The swell jumps to 6 ft from the W, but the period is a miserable 7 seconds. That’s pure wind chop, and with a cross-on breeze, it’ll be a messy, bumpy, short-interval mess. This one is more for the kite surfers than the paddle crew.

So, to wrap it up: the only real window is the first weekend. Friday morning, September 4th is the winner. Don’t hold your breath for the second week. It’s a long, flat, disappointing run.

Stay wet, 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.
