The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Newport – The Peak. This is a reef break for the advanced crew, and it’s a fairly consistent spot. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is pretty normal for the season.
First window is Monday morning, July 27. We’ve got a clean 4ft south swell, 9-second period, with a light cross-off breeze. The combined energy is 244 (moderate). It’s a nice, clean start.
Tuesday morning the 28th is tiny, about 2ft from the south, but the wind is offshore from the WNW at 15 mph, so it’s glassy. Still, very small.
Wednesday morning the 29th is even smaller, 0.7ft, with a super long 17-second period from the south. Barely any energy (28). Not worth it.
Thursday morning the 30th, though – that’s the big one. A solid 8ft south swell, 10-second period, clean cross-off wind. Combined energy is 2153 (very strong). That’s heavy, expert-only stuff. The morning is the winner.
Friday morning the 31st keeps it going: 8ft from the south, 11-second period, cross-off wind, energy of 1194 (strong). Another excellent morning for experienced surfers.
The first weekend of August is smaller. Saturday morning the 1st has 5ft from the SSE, clean and cross-off, with 530 energy (moderate). Sunday morning the 2nd is 4ft, clean, light cross-off. It’s alright.
The next highlight is Monday morning, August 10. A 6ft ENE swell, 9-second period, light cross-off from the NNW, clean, with 534 energy (moderate). “Very good surf conditions” is what we’re hearing.
Then Tuesday morning, August 11, brings a big one: 8ft from the NE, 9-second period, solid offshore wind from the WNW at 20 mph. Clean, powerful, with 1581 energy (very strong). Another one for the experts.
So, the standouts are Thursday July 30, Friday July 31, and Tuesday August 11 – all big, clean, and for the advanced crew. Thursday and Friday next week also have some decent windows. The rest is a mix of smaller clean days or afternoon chop. Choose your time.

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.
Newport - The Peak is 11 km (7 miles) from Dee Why. If you plan a holiday in Sydney North Coast, look for hotels and other accommodation in Dee Why. Dee Why has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
