Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening at Newport – The Peak over the next couple of weeks. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about normal for this time of year – nothing weird there.
We start off with a bit of a rough patch. Sunday July 5 morning has a solid 12 ft S swell at 11 seconds, but with a 15 mph cross-shore wind and a strong combined energy (2910) it’s messy and lumpy. The afternoon gets worse – 19 mph cross-onshore, rain, and the swell jumps to 13 seconds but it’s still a write-off. Monday and Tuesday are similar: cross-onshore winds, rain, and the swell drops from 10 ft to 8 ft. The energy stays high (1714–2175) but the wind kills it. Wednesday and Thursday are still marginal, with cross-shore winds and smaller swell, though Thursday morning (July 9) has a light breeze and 7 ft SE swell at 10 seconds – still not clean enough to get excited about.
Friday July 10 morning finally sees a shift: light cross-offshore wind, 6 ft SSE swell at 9 seconds, and clean conditions. The energy is moderate (606) – a decent little window for a few waves, but nothing special. Saturday July 11 morning is similar with a 4 ft SE swell and light offshore, but the size is dropping.
Then we hit a flat spell. Sunday July 12 through Tuesday July 14 have tiny swell (1.0 ft to 2 ft) and strong offshore winds – clean but no wave power. The combined energy is under 160 – basically a rest period.
Now here’s where it gets interesting. Wednesday July 15 morning sees a new 7 ft S swell at 8 seconds with cross-offshore wind, energy 822 – clean but short period. The real standout hits on Thursday July 16. Thursday afternoon is the pick of the whole forecast: glassy conditions, a massive 18 ft S swell at 12 seconds, and energy at 8667. That’s a serious groundswell – long period, clean, and powerful. This is expert-only territory – over 8 ft, so not for beginners. The reef will handle it well, and the direction (S) is close to the optimum SE. Expect some serious sets. Crowds are likely – this spot is often busy on a good day.
Friday July 17 morning is another standout: offshore wind from the NW at 6 mph, 18 ft SSE swell at 12 seconds, energy 7977. Again, big, clean, and expert-only. The afternoon turns cross-onshore but still 18 ft – marginal but still huge. Saturday July 18 morning has a 12 ft SE swell at 13 seconds with offshore wind – still strong but dropping a bit. Sunday July 19 and Monday July 20 taper off to 6 ft and 4 ft with light winds, not worth the trip.
Bottom line: the first week is mostly a washout, but the second week delivers two epic days – Thursday afternoon and Friday morning – for the experienced crew. Keep an eye on the forecast, but that’s the call.
Rusty.

Information about the Newport - The Peak Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Newport - The Peak provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Newport - The Peak 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 - 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. 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.
