The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Newport – The Peak over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the first few days are pretty grim. Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th are a write-off — small, messy, cross-onshore winds and weak energy. You’d be better off doing something else. Sunday the 19th sees a pulse of 8ft swell from the ENE with a long 11-second period, but the wind is onshore and conditions are questionable. The combined energy is strong at 1434, but it’s not going to be clean.
The first real standout arrives Monday morning, 20 July. The swell drops to a solid 6ft from the ENE, period holding at 10 seconds, and the wind goes glassy from the WNW. Combined energy is moderate at 836, and the water temp is 64°, which is about average for this time of year. That’s the pick of the first week — clean, lined-up waves at this advanced reef break. Expect crowds often, so get in early.
Tuesday morning the 21st is also worth a look: 5ft ENE swell, light offshore from the north, clean conditions, and energy at 527. Still good, but not as strong as Monday.
The second week looks more mixed. Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd are small and clean but barely surfable. Friday 24th sees a new 7ft south swell with 8-second period and 633 energy, and clean cross-offshore wind in the morning. That’s worth a paddle, but the shorter period means it won’t have the same push as a groundswell.
Things taper off into the end of July, with small south swells and clean conditions but not much size. The 28th of July has a tidy 3ft S swell with glassy wind in the afternoon — a nice little session if you’re keen. The 31st of July and 1st of August show a longer-period south swell (12-13 seconds) building, with clean winds, but the size stays around 3-4ft. That’s a promising run, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.
Overall, Monday 20 July morning is your best bet — solid swell, glassy conditions, and the reef will be working. Tuesday 21 July morning is a strong backup. After that, it’s a waiting game for the next south pulse.
Rusty.
