The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Newport - The Peak.
It’s a mixed forecast, but there’s a big one lurking way out there. The water is sitting at about 65°, which is normal for the time of year.
The week starts with a pulse on Friday morning, July 24th. We’re looking at 7 ft of south swell, but the wind is cross-off from the SW, leaving it a bit messy. The energy is solid (1226), but it’s not clean enough to write home about. Friday afternoon cleans up with glassy conditions, but the swell drops to 6 ft and the period jumps to 12 seconds, and the tide might be a problem.
Saturday, July 25th is your first real window. Morning comes in with a clean 6 ft south swell, 11-second period, and a proper offshore wind from the WNW. The reef will be working, and the energy is still pumping (776). That’s a solid session. The afternoon goes glassy with 5 ft and a shorter period, so the morning is the move.
Sunday, July 26th morning looks similar – 6 ft south swell with an 11-second period, cross-off wind, clean conditions (841). The afternoon goes onshore and turns to mush, so get your fill early.
Monday, July 27th is a small day with 4 ft of swell, but the wind is light offshore from the west. It’s clean, but weak. The energy is down to (223). Tuesday and Wednesday are pretty much flat or tiny, with energy dropping below 100. There’s a rain shower on Wednesday and the period is a weird 16 seconds on a 0.7 ft swell – that’s just a long period with no power.
From Thursday, July 30th through to Saturday, August 1st, we’re in a lull. The swell is small, the wind is messy, and there’s rain showers. It’s a dead zone for a few days.
Now, hold onto your board, because Sunday, August 2nd is the standout. The morning is a monster: 16 ft of south swell with a 12-second period, light offshore wind from the WNW, and a combined energy of (6580). This is exceptional, but it’s for experts only. That’s a serious, heavy wave that will be charging down the reef. The afternoon is the same size, but the wind swings onshore and makes it sloppy, so the morning window is the only window.
Monday, August 3rd is still big, with 8 ft of swell coming from the SSE, but the wind is cross-shore and bumpy. The energy is (1244), but it’s not well shaped. The rest of that week gets messy with onshore winds and rain, keeping the quality poor.
Look ahead to Friday, August 7th – that’s the other real standout. The morning session offers 8 ft of swell from the ESE with a 13-second period, a cross-off wind from the SW, and clean conditions. The energy is strong at (1752). This is excellent for experienced surfers, with clean lines. The wind is light, so expect it to be glassy early.
Saturday, August 8th is a smaller, cleaner leftover with 4 ft and a slight offshore wind, but the energy is fading.
Overall, the best on offer is the massive swell on Sunday, August 2nd for the advanced crew, and the clean, solid conditions on Friday, August 7th for the experienced surfer. Crowds are often around here, so expect some company.
Stay stoked,
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.

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.
