The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Lookin' at the next 16 days for Topaz Street, and honestly, it's a bit of a tough stretch. The water's a whopping 37° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is real unusual.
We're starting off dry, with no real surf to speak of. The first proper chance to get a wave comes in on Friday morning, August 7th. The swell is tiny, just 1ft, coming from the SSW, but it's got a long period of 19 seconds – that's a proper groundswell. The combined energy is moderate (202). The problem is, the wind is a light cross-onshore, so it's not going to be clean. Still, it's about the best we'll see for a while.
The whole first week is a bit of a grind. Most mornings have a light breeze, but it's always cross or cross-onshore, so the surf is messy. The afternoons get hit by a stronger onshore wind, making things even worse. The swell stays tiny, between 1ft and 2ft, and the quality is just poor.
We get a bit of a bump in swell for the second half of the window. By Saturday morning, August 15th, the swell picks up to 3ft from the SSW, with a period of 16 seconds, and the energy jumps to strong (377). It's still a beach/jetty setup, and with that onshore wind crashing in by the afternoon, the mornings are your only shot. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it's still not perfect, but it's the biggest swell of the period.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is set for Friday, August 21st. The wind finally swings to a light cross-offshore from the SE, and the surf is described as "clean". The swell is still only 2ft from the SSW, with a 16-second period and moderate energy (191). For this spot, that's as good as it's gonna get. The crowds are often here, so don't expect to have it to yourself.
Honestly, if you're looking for a proper paddle, the best bet is to hold out for that Friday the 21st. Everything else is just a gamble on a marginal morning. If the wind is on, it might be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Rusty.
