The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Newport-South Beach.
It's a pretty grim picture for the next couple of weeks, to be honest. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead. The first worthwhile surf doesn't show up until Friday the 14th of August, and even then it's a bit of a tease. That's a solid two-week gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is just a mess for most of the period, blowing cross-on or crossshore, and the wave quality is just not there.
The main issue is that we're dealing with a lot of short-period, wind-affected swell. The combined energy is moderate at best, barely cracking triple digits for most of the first week. It's a frustrating stretch of choppy, weak surf that's just not going to give you anything.
For the first real standout, you have to wait until Friday the 14th of August. The morning session sees a jump in the swell, with waves around 5 ft coming from the WNW. The period is a solid 13 seconds, so there's some proper groundswell energy in the water. The combined energy is a strong 1149, which is a big step up from what we've seen. The wind is a cross-shore breeze, which is at least not onshore, so conditions will be manageable. The afternoon gets a bit bigger, up to 6.2 ft from the NW, and the energy jumps to 1181, but the wind picks up to a fresh 19 mph, making it lumpy. The morning is the pick of the day.
Saturday the 15th of August morning still has some size, with 5.9 ft swell from the NW and a period of 11 seconds. The energy is still high at 955, and the wind is a light cross-shore breeze, which is a big positive. It'll be your best bet for a clean-ish wave, but the quality is still only marginal.
Honestly, for a beginner, those 5 ft to 6 ft days are going to be a bit much, especially with the lumpy conditions. For the experienced crew, Friday the 14th morning is the only session that looks like it has a bit of grunt and potential, but it's still a far cry from pumping. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
It's a lean period, lads. The forecasts can change, but right now, you're looking at a long wait for a mediocre window.
