The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next few weeks at Newport - The Peak.
The first few days are a write-off, but we’ve got a couple of bright spots to look forward to. The water is currently sitting at 64°, which is bang on average for this time of year.
It’s quiet until Sunday the 9th. That morning, a clean 4ft swell from the ENE with a moderate 265 energy (moderate) and a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the north will make for some clean, surfable waves. It’s not huge, but it’s a start.
The real standout this week is Monday the 10th. The morning brings a solid 6ft ENE swell cranking with 594 energy (strong) and a clean cross-offshore wind from the NW. That’s a powerful, clean wave for the advanced crew. The afternoon backs off a bit to 5ft, but it’s still clean with a fresh offshore wind. The best on offer for the first week.
Things get messy from the 11th through the 19th. The wind goes onshore or cross-shore, and the swell drops off or gets chopped up. There’s a brief, clean Tuesday afternoon on the 11th with a 3ft S swell and a longer 11-second period, but it’s a small window.
Hold on for Thursday the 20th. The morning is glassy, with a 4ft SSE groundswell (13 seconds) and a very strong 505 energy level. The forecast says "very good surf conditions." That’s the one to circle on the calendar – clean, solid, and with some real push.
The absolute best of the entire outlook, though, is Saturday the 22nd. The morning session is an expert-only affair. We’re looking at an 12ft S swell with a massive 1890 energy (very strong) and a glassy, clean cross-offshore breeze. That’s a serious, powerful, clean swell – the kind that makes you want to call in sick. It’s two weeks out, so keep an eye on it, but it’s got the potential to be something special.
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. 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.
