The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cookin' at Newport – The Peak (Rhode Island). Water temp is around 64°F, pretty normal for the season.
We got a slow burn to start. Monday morning, August 3rd, we'll see a clean 3ft SE swell with an 11-second interval. It's not gonna shake the earth, but with a light cross-offshore breeze, the surface will be clean. Energy is moderate (270), enough for a few fun rides if you're up early. The afternoon drops to 3ft and the wind goes funny, so the early bird gets the worm.
Then it goes flat. Tuesday the 4th through Saturday the 8th is a total dud – tiny, bumpy, not worth a second look. You'd be wasting your time. Sunday the 9th sees a bump to 4ft from the NE, but it's blown out. Skip it.
Here's where it gets interesting. Tuesday morning, August 11th, we get a clean 2ft S groundswell with a long 13-second period. The energy is good (211), and with a cross-offshore breeze, the reef will have some nice shape. The waves will feel punchier than the size suggests. That clean run continues into Wednesday the 12th with 2ft S swell and light wind. Two solid mornings to get your fix.
The big one is Friday morning, August 14th. A serious 8ft S groundswell with a 12-second period smashes in, and the energy numbers are wild (3142). The wind is offshore and clean. This is heavy, expert-only surf. The reef will be firing, but it's not for the faint of heart. If you're experienced, this is your day. It gets choppy and onshore in the afternoon.
Saturday the 15th still has a strong 7ft S swell, but it's a notch down from Friday. Morning is clean, so it's a good backup plan.
Into the second week, we're back to waist-high stuff, but a couple of glassy mornings pop up. Check out Sunday the 16th (4ft SSE) and Tuesday the 18th (3ft SE) for some clean, fun waves.
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.
