The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. It’s been a bit of a flat spell, but we’ve got a slow roll of activity coming through for Newport – The Peak. Let’s see what’s on the table.
The forecast kicks off with small, clean surf. Saturday the 8th morning brings a weak 2ft S swell with a short 8-second period and light cross-offshore wind. The water is sitting at 64°, which is about average for this time of year. The combined energy is weak (107), so it’s not going to get the heart pumping, but it’s surfable. Saturday afternoon gets choppy and messy, so the morning is the only window then.
Sunday the 9th morning sees a slight bump to 3ft from the ENE with a 9-second period. The combined energy climbs to moderate (185), and with a light N cross-offshore breeze, the morning session will be clean. The afternoon turns windy with a NNW cross-offshore at 12 mph, which will still keep it clean but a bit more challenging.
Monday the 10th is the standout of the week, but it’s a big, raw day. The swell jumps to 7ft from the ENE, pushing combined energy into the strong zone (769). The morning has a howling 22 mph cross-offshore, making it clean but very powerful. This is expert territory only. The afternoon brings a 6ft NE swell with a 25 mph offshore wind. It’s clean but hard to paddle into. This is not for beginners; it’s for the charger crew.
The rest of the week backs off. Tuesday the 11th drops to 3ft with a gentle offshore breeze, making for a clean but small session. The trend continues through Wednesday and Thursday with small, clean waves in the morning, but nothing with much punch.
Friday the 14th morning is the next real highlight. The swell picks up to 4ft from the S with a 10-second period, and the wind is light and cross-offshore. The combined energy is moderate (342), and the conditions are clean. This is the best window for a standard surfer.
Saturday the 15th morning has a 6ft S swell with a short 8-second period, but the wind is light and cross-shore. It’s surfable, but with that short period, it’s a bit bouncy. The afternoon turns choppy.
From the 16th through the 23rd, it’s a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions. The swell is small, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy is weak. There’s a brief moment on the morning of the 18th with 4ft S swell, short 5-second period, and glassy conditions, but it’s a short period windswell and won’t hold any shape. The 23rd morning offers a 3ft SSE swell with glassy conditions, but again, it’s small.
Overall, the best bet is Friday the 14th morning for a clean, fun session. Monday the 10th is the big one, but only for the experienced crew. The rest of the 16-day window is a bit of a bust, with long gaps of poor surf. It’s one of those stretches where the ocean is just taking a nap.
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.
