The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Newport – The Peak over the next couple of weeks.
We’re starting off this Saturday morning, 1st August, with a decent little pulse. The swell is coming in at 5 ft from the SSE, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore, keeping things pretty clean. The combined energy is sitting at 450 (moderate), so there’s enough push to get into some fun ones. Water temp is about average for the time of year at 65°. This is a reef break, so it’s one for the more experienced crew – it’s fairly consistent, but expect crowds sometimes. A solid start to the outlook.
Sunday morning, 2nd August, is the real standout for the coming days. The swell is holding at 5 ft from the SSE, but the period jumps to 13 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is a massive 1012 (strong), and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the north. Conditions are clean, and the forecast is excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best on offer right now. The swell direction (SSE) is a good match for what this spot likes (SE), so the wave shape will be quality. If you’re an advanced surfer, get in the water.
The weekend goes a bit downhill after that. Sunday afternoon the wind swings to a cross-onshore from the NE at 12 mph, and the swell gets a bit lumpy. Monday 3rd August sees the swell drop to 3 ft in the morning, clean offshore from the NW but the energy is weak (282). By Monday afternoon it’s down to 3 ft. Tuesday 4th August is flat – tiny 0.7 ft with poor conditions. That run of poor surf continues through to Wednesday 5th. Thursday 6th August morning picks up again with 5 ft from the S and a clean offshore wind, but the combined energy is moderate (391). It’s surfable, but nothing special.
Friday 7th August morning is another good window – 6 ft S swell, glassy conditions with light west wind, and clean waves. Combined energy is 463 (moderate). Saturday 8th August morning is glassy again, with 5 ft S swell. A solid run of clean mornings, but the afternoons get chopped up by onshore winds.
Longer range, keep an eye on Saturday 15th August. That morning shows a 3 ft S swell with a period of 21 seconds – that’s ultra-long period groundswell. Combined energy is 1500 (strong), and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the north. This is a big, powerful groundswell. For a reef break, that long period will produce some beautifully shaped, deep-water lines. It’s an excellent forecast for experienced surfers, but it’s 15 days out, so treat it as a promising but less certain call. The same swell on Sunday 16th August morning is still big (5 ft S, 14 seconds, combined energy 1340), but with onshore wind, it’s marginal.
Overall, the standout is Sunday morning, 2nd August – that’s your best bet for clean, powerful, quality surf. The second week has some potential on the 15th, but it’s a long way off. The first week has a few clean mornings, but nothing else hits that same level. For a typically consistent spot like this, the gaps are short, but the quality is patchy.

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.
