The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – for the next week and a bit, Newport-South Beach is a tough watch. We’ve got a long, quiet run of small, messy surf that’s just not worth paddling out for. From Friday the 21st right through to Sunday the 30th, it’s all waist-to-thigh-high slop with poor wind keeping things choppy or rippled. The good news? It doesn’t stay this way forever. Around Tuesday the 1st of September we start seeing a real pulse of size, and by Wednesday the 2nd, things flip.
That Wednesday morning (2nd September) is the standout. The swell pushes up to 8ft from the WNW with a solid 12-second period (moderate wave energy at 1631). The wind goes glassy. That’s clean, powerful waves – shoulder-to-head-plus sets with proper shape. It’s big enough that beginners should sit it out, but for experienced surfers, that’s the window to circle on your calendar. On Thursday the 3rd morning we get another glassy session, though the swell drops to 6ft from the NW with 11-second period (energy at 937), still very good. Saturday the 5th morning caps it off with clean 6ft NW swell and calm winds (700 energy).
Crowds are a thing here sometimes – expect company on those good days. The water’s about average for the time of year.
Outside of that mid-week blip, the rest of the second week is marginal or poor. If you’ve got a kite, the late-August onshore chop might interest you, but for a surfboard, it’s a long wait. The forecast confidence is solid for that Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday morning windows – but the rest is a gamble.
Stay keen, check the charts, and I’ll see you out there when it’s good.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Newport-South Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Newport-South Beach 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.
