The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks at Newport – The Peak.

The outlook starts off pretty flat and ordinary. We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands for any real quality. The first few days are mostly a write-off, with a messy, weak energy swell around 3ft from the ENE, and a cross-off wind that’s not doing us any favours. The combined energy is low, sitting around 174, so it’s just not worth paddling out for. Monday the 10th sees a jump in size to 7ft, but the wind is howling at 22 mph from the NNW, making it a messy, blown-out affair. That’s one for the kite surfers, not for a paddle.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 11th. The afternoon session is shaping up to be the standout of the early week. The wind drops to a dead calm, glassy 0 mph, and we get a clean 3ft swell from the south with a nice 11-second period. The combined energy bumps up to 283, which is a solid, fun energy. That’s your window for a clean, cruisy session on the reef.

The next real highlight, and the one to circle on the calendar, is Thursday morning, the 13th. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the south, but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s a bit of a wind-swell mix. The wind is light and cross-off from the SW, keeping it clean. The combined energy is pumping at 1074, which is a strong, punchy energy. This is a meaty size, over 8ft, so it’s for experienced surfers only. If you’ve got the skill, this is the biggest and most powerful swell of the run.

Friday the 14th morning is another good call, with a clean 6ft south swell, light cross-off wind, and strong energy (586). It’s a step down in size from Thursday, but still a solid, fun wave.

After that, the window closes. From Saturday the 15th through to the 24th, it’s a long stretch of poor surf conditions. Onshore winds and choppy conditions dominate, with a few days of mixed up, messy waves. There’s a brief moment of hope on the morning of Sunday the 23rd, when the wind goes glassy and we get a clean 5ft ENE swell, but the overall pattern is messy. The energy is moderate, around 284, but it’s a long way out.

So, the final call: Tuesday afternoon the 11th is the pick for a clean, fun, glassy session. But for the biggest, punchiest waves, Thursday morning the 13th is the standout for the experts. The rest of the period is a write-off.

Rusty.
