The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down the surf at Newport - The Peak in the old measurements. This is a reef break that’s consistent and takes swell, but it’s for advanced crew only.
Water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
Sunday morning, August 2nd, is the best of the lot. Swell is 5ft from the SSE, period a solid 13 seconds, with a light cross-off breeze from the north. The combined energy is 999 (moderate). Expect very good surf conditions. The afternoon turns into a mess with a strong cross-on.
Monday morning, August 3rd, still has some clean waves: 3ft from the SE, 11-second period, cross-off from the NNW. Energy at 294 (weak to moderate). Good surf conditions, but not as strong. The afternoon gets a nice offshore from the WNW on the 3ft SE swell, but it’s ordinary.
Tuesday, August 4th, is tiny.
Wednesday, August 5th, has 3ft from the south with a short 8-second period, cross-off winds, but it’s small and weak.
Thursday morning, August 6th, shows 4ft from the south, 8-second period, offshore from the WNW. Energy 259 (weak to moderate). Expect good surf conditions. Afternoon turns onshore.
Friday morning, August 7th, is glassy: 4ft from the south, 9-second period, wind from the west. Energy 283 (weak to moderate). That’s a clean session. Afternoon is cross-on and choppy.
From Saturday, August 8th, the swell drops. Mornings are glassy but waves are 2ft to 3ft, weak. The combined energy stays below 200 (weak) most days.
The second week (from August 9th onward) is small and weak. Clean mornings, but the waves are barely knee-high. The best might be a 3ft ENE swell on the 16th with a 10-second period, but the wind is a stiff 35 km/h. Not worth it.
The only real standout is Sunday morning, August 2nd. Friday morning, August 7th, is a solid backup. After that, you’re waiting on the next swell.
