Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk Newport - The Peak.
Right now we’re in a slow patch. Water temp is 66°F, about normal for July. Today, Sunday the 12th, we’ve got a weak ESE swell, knee-high, with a short 10-second period. Energy is just 129 — it’s poor. Monday and Tuesday are even smaller, down to ankle-slap. Energy drops to 20-33. You’ll be sitting on your board twiddling your thumbs. So we’ve got a few flat days to get through.
Wednesday the 15th is where it picks up. A 2.5m S swell comes in, but the period is only 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore. Energy jumps to 829 in the morning and 1083 in the afternoon. It’s going to be lumpy and crumbly — not clean. This is one for the experienced crew on a bigger board. Might actually be more fun for kite surfers.
Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th stay rough. Cross-onshore wind, rain, and choppy conditions. Swell around 1.2m to 1.7m, but it’s messy. Saturday the 18th is the same story.
Here’s where it gets interesting. Sunday the 19th of July brings a 2.5m E swell with an 11-second period — proper groundswell. Energy hits 1729 in the morning. Wind is light cross-shore from the SSW, so it’ll have a little texture. That long-period swell will handle well at the reef, but it could make it a bit straight. Crowds are likely here, and with this size, it’ll be busy. The afternoon gets bigger at 3.0m with energy over 2000, but the wind turns cross-onshore. Morning is the one.
Monday the 20th of July is the absolute standout. Clean, light offshore NNW breeze, 2.4m E swell, 11-second period. Energy is 1486. This is gold. Smooth faces, powerful waves — for experienced surfers only at this size. Get out there early.
Wednesday the 22nd of July is another cracker. 1.7m E swell with a very long 13-second period. Offshore wind from the W, energy 1324, clean as a whistle. Long, walling waves on the reef. This is the kind of day you remember.
Friday the 24th of July afternoon brings 1.6m ESE swell at 12 seconds, gentle offshore NW wind. Energy is 1040. Clean and more manageable for a wider range of surfers. Crowds will be there, but the quality makes up for it.
Saturday the 25th of July keeps it going. Morning has 1.7m ESE swell, 12-second period, offshore WNW wind at 20 km/h. Energy is 1198. Another excellent session — clean, punchy, well-shaped.
After that, the swell fades. By Monday the 27th, it’s back to knee-high slop. The best run is from the 20th to the 25th, with Monday the 20th and Wednesday the 22nd being your top picks.
The long-range looks solid, but we’re talking a week and a half out, so keep your fingers crossed.
Rusty.
