The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the coming weeks.
We're looking at Newport - The Peak, a reef break that needs an SE swell. The water temp is sitting right around 64°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so nothing to worry about there.
The first bit of action kicks off on Monday morning, August 3rd. It's not a massive swell, but we've got a clean 3ft wave from the southeast with a nice 11-second period. The wind is light and cross-off, and the combined energy is moderate at 270. It's a decent start, but the afternoon sees the quality drop right off. The early morning on Monday is the best bet for the first few days.
Tuesday morning the 4th is a write-off – tiny, poor conditions. And it stays that way through Wednesday and Thursday. There's a little bump on Thursday morning with a 3ft S swell, but the period is only 8 seconds, so it's weak. The wind is offshore, but it's just not enough to get excited about. Friday and Saturday follow the same pattern; small, ordinary, and mostly blown out in the afternoons. Sunday the 9th is a bit of a mess with a moderate breeze, and the swell is a short-period 4ft.
Then we get a real gap. After Monday the 10th, things are looking pretty flat and ordinary right through until Tuesday the 11th. That Tuesday morning finally shows some promise. We get a 4ft swell from the south with that 8-second period, but the key here is a clean, offshore WNW breeze. The combined energy jumps to 217, which is a solid moderate energy. It's the best quality we've seen in a while. The afternoon is ruined by a cross-on wind, so get in early.
From there, we get a few more days of small, average surf. Wednesday the 12th through Thursday the 13th are just ordinary. But then, hold onto your board... Friday the 14th of August. The morning is a standout. An 8ft south swell, 9-second period, and a clean, light offshore breeze. The combined energy is a massive 1143, which is very strong. This is proper, powerful swell. But it's an 8ft wave – that's expert territory only. The afternoon is a total washout with a strong onshore wind, so it's a one-session day. Saturday the 15th still has some size at 6ft, but the wind is a bit stronger and the quality is marginal.
After that, the energy drops quickly. Sunday the 16th is a write-off with rain and strong wind, and the last week of the forecast is more of the same – small, ordinary waves with all kinds of wind. Tuesday the 18th morning is glassy and clean with a 2ft south swell, but it's small.
So, the true standout is the early morning of Friday, August 14th. It's the biggest, most powerful swell of the forecast, and the wind is perfect. But it's a string of a day for experts only. The Tuesday morning of August 11th is your best bet for the first week with a clean, offshore wind and a solid south swell. The rest of the run is a lot of waiting for nothing much.
Take it easy,
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. Our Newport - The Peak surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Newport - The Peak) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
