The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’re looking at a run of surf that starts off small and ends with some serious muscle. The first few days are for the patient ones, but once we hit Friday the 24th, things get real interesting.
Kicking off Tuesday morning the 21st at Newport - The Peak, we’ve got a clean 5-foot swell from the ENE with a 10-second period. The combined energy is sitting at 508 (moderate) and the water temp is 65°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. The morning is the pick with a light cross-off breeze, but the afternoon turns into a cross-shore mess. Wednesday morning the 22nd sees a drop to 4-foot, but glassy offshore wind from the WNW will make it tidy. The afternoon gets glassy with a 4-foot ENE swell – that’s your best bet for a clean, cruisy session early on.
Thursday the 23rd is small and ordinary, with a 3-foot swell dropping to 3-foot by afternoon. The morning is clean with offshore wind, but the energy is weak (129). Not worth paddling out for.
Now, Friday the 24th is where we finally get a proper pulse. It’s a standout morning: 8-foot of S swell with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 1699 (strong). That’s solid, powerful, and clean with a light cross-off breeze. This is advanced territory – way too big for beginners. Afternoon drops to 5-foot with a cross-on wind, so the morning window is the go.
Saturday the 25th morning brings another strong offering: 6-foot from the S, 11-second period, clean offshore wind from the W. Energy is 685 (moderate to strong). That’s a long-period groundswell, so it’ll be punchy and better for the reef setup here. The afternoon gets chopped up. Sunday the 26th morning is still decent at 5-foot with a 11-second period, but the wind is cross-off, not ideal. Still clean though.
We hit a flat spell from Monday the 27th through Tuesday the 28th. Tiny waves, weak energy, poor conditions. Tuesday afternoon is a joke – 0.3-foot, 15-second period, only 16 energy. That’s a gap of two days with nothing worth riding.
Then Wednesday the 29th morning – hold onto your board. This is the biggest day of the outlook: 10-foot of S swell, 9-second period, energy at 2623 (very strong). That’s a massive, powerful swell, and it’s clean with a light cross-off. Only for experts. Afternoon gets onshore and messy.
Thursday the 30th morning is still pumping: 8-foot from the S, glassy conditions, energy 905 (strong). Still properly big. Friday the 31st morning drops to 5-foot, clean cross-off, nice energy at 647. That’s a solid, fun day for anyone comfortable in overhead surf.
Saturday the 1st of August morning is glassy with a 5-foot SE swell, energy 546 (moderate). Clean and tidy. The rest of the first week of August tapers off: Sunday the 2nd has rain showers and a 4-foot swell, but the wind is messy. Monday the 3rd is a write-off. Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th are back to tiny, weak surf with energy dropping below 100 mid-week.
The true standout is Wednesday the 29th morning – that 10-foot S swell with a light cross-off is the peak of the whole period. The Friday the 24th morning is a close second. Both are for experienced surfers only. If you’re just looking for a clean, manageable wave, shoot for the glassy morning of Saturday the 1st of August.
Rusty out.

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.
