The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s lookin’ good for Newport - The Peak. Water temp’s sittin’ around 65°F right now, pretty normal for this time of year, nothin’ weird goin’ on. That southeast swell direction is the key for this reef setup, and it’s gonna line up nicely.
Sunday mornin’, the 26th of July, we get a 7ft south swell with an 11-second period, cross-off wind from the WSW at 9 mph. Combined energy is 938 – solid, moderate. Clean waves rollin’ into The Peak. Not the biggest, but the quality is there. Afternoon gets onshore and messy, so grab the early session.
Monday the 27th is smaller, around 4ft from the south, clean again with offshore wind, but energy drops to 208. A smaller but fun session. Afternoon goes flat and poor into Tuesday.
Wednesday the 29th is basically a write-off – 0.3ft, energy of 1 with moderate breeze. Stay home.
Then Thursday mornin’, the 30th of July, we get a proper return: 7ft from the south, 9-second period, cross-off wind, and energy at 699 – very good conditions. That morning is the call for the first week. The afternoon jumps to 8ft with cross-on wind and energy of 3101 – big but messy.
Friday the 31st holds 8ft again with high energy (2141) but mixed wind – gettin’ into expert territory, and it’s marginal. Saturday mornin’, the 1st of August, cleans up with 6ft from the SSE, cross-off wind, energy around 645. Solid for advanced guys.
Sunday the 2nd of August is a good one: 5ft from the SE, offshore NW wind at 3 mph, clean, energy 494. Monday and Tuesday mornings the 3rd and 4th also offer clean smaller surf in the 3-4ft range – nice for a log or a fish.
Now, mark your calendars for Saturday the 8th of August. That mornin’ is glassy, 10ft from the south, energy at 3422 – very strong, powerful waves. It’s for experts only at that size, but the glassy wind makes it absolutely dreamy. The afternoon blows up to 13ft with a 13-second groundswell period and 8455 energy, but gets cross-on and choppy. Still, that morning is the standout of the whole 16-day run.
Sunday the 9th mornin’ holds 8ft from the south, clean cross-off, energy 1716 – another excellent session. Monday the 10th is 8-8ft from the SSE with moderate cross-off wind – fair but not perfect.
So, the best on offer: the glassy 10ft session on Saturday the 8th of August. If you can wait and you’ve got the skills, that’s the one. Crowds are often at The Peak, so be there early. When it’s over 8ft on this reef, it gets heavy – respect the power.
Signin’ off – Rusty.
