The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a bit of a slow burn for Newport - The Peak over the next couple of weeks. The first few days are pretty ordinary, but there’s some hope later on if you’re patient.

We start off with nothing much going on Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th – small, weak swell with onshore winds, just messy and not worth paddling out for. Water’s sitting at 64°, bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Monday the 20th morning is where it first gets interesting. The Peak (Newport) pulls in a clean 6ft swell from the ENE with a period of 11 seconds – that’s a nice long-period groundswell, giving well-shaped lines. Wind is light offshore from the west, so the face should be glassy. Combined wave energy is moderate at 885. The only catch? This break is exposed to SE swell, and this is coming from ENE, so it’s not the optimum direction, but still worth a look. It’s a reef setup, fairly consistent, but crowds are often here, especially on a Monday morning with conditions like this.

Tuesday morning the 21st still has some clean 5ft ENE swell hanging in there, wind light offshore again, but the energy is dropping to 447. Still surfable, just not the standout.

Wednesday the 22nd drops right off, then Thursday the 23rd sees a shift to a short-period SSW swell – only 6 seconds – which is weak and choppy, especially with a rain shower and gusty 15-18 mph winds in the afternoon.

Friday the 24th morning is another good moment. The swell swings to the S, 7ft, with a 10-second period, and the wind is light cross-offshore from the WSW. The energy jumps to 941, and the water looks clean. That’s solid, powerful surf – maybe a bit big for beginners at over 7ft, but for experienced crew on the reef, it’s a proper session. Crowds will be there.

The standout, though, has to be Sunday the 2nd of August. That morning brings a 8ft swell from the E, 10-second period, with light offshore wind from the WSW. The energy is strong at 1041, and the report says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. This is the pick of the entire window – a clean, powerful E groundswell that will wrap nicely into the reef. It’s over 8ft, so experts only, but if you can handle it, this is your day. Crowds will be likely as word gets out.

In between, there’s a fair few days with onshore wind, weak swell, or messy conditions – so don’t bother with the middle of the second week. The first real gap is from Saturday afternoon the 18th through to late in the first week, and then another quiet patch around the 26th to 31st July.

So, bottom line: don’t waste your time early on. Aim for Monday the 20th morning for a cleaner session, Friday the 24th morning for some power, and circle Sunday the 2nd of August as the big one – if you’re experienced and keen, that’s the one to circle.

Stay wet,
Rusty
