The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Newport - The Peak.
We're looking at a bit of a slow start, but things should pick up. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is basically right on the money for this time of year.
The first real window of opportunity kicks off on the morning of Saturday, the 1st of August. We've got a clean 5ft swell from the SSE, with a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is moderate, and it's setting up for some decent surf. The real standout from that session is going to be the afternoon though. The wind swings to a light easterly, going completely glassy, and the swell stays at a solid 5ft from the SSE. That's a recipe for some clean, smooth lines.
Now, the best of the whole run is heading our way on Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. The swell pushes up to 5ft from the SSE, but the key here is the period. We're talking a 13-second groundswell with very strong energy. This is a powerful, long-period swell. You'll get those long, clean walls, but remember, with a period that long, The Peak being a reef break is actually ideal. It'll handle that energy beautifully. The wind is a light northerly, cross-off, keeping it all clean. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It does get crowded here often, so get out there early.
The rest of the run is a bit of a mixed bag. Monday morning the 3rd of August has a smaller 3ft swell from the SE with a good 11-second period and clean conditions, but it's not the same size. Swell builds again on the morning of Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th, with 5ft from the south and clean conditions, but the periods drop back to 9 seconds. After that, from the 9th of August onwards, we're looking at a lot of days with small, weak surf and strong winds. There's a window on the 11th of August with a clean offshore wind, but the swell is tiny and weak. The run from the 8th of August through to the 15th is mostly a write-off, with small, choppy, or onshore conditions. The best bet is definitely that weekend at the start of the month.
Rusty out.

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 - The Peak 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.
