The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Newport - The Peak. This reef set-up is for the advanced crew, and it’s got a bit of a mixed bag coming our way.
The overall pattern starts with a solid pulse of swell on Sunday the 2nd, but the wind is a real story. Sunday morning looks like the pick of the early days, with a clean 5ft groundswell wrapping in from the SSE, period at a healthy 13 seconds, and a light northerly breeze keeping it glassy. The combined energy is moderate to strong (999). That’s proper surf. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no drama there.
But by Sunday afternoon, the wind swings hard to the northeast at 12 mph, turning it cross-on and choppy, so that window closes fast. Monday morning the 3rd is still worth a look, with a clean 3ft SSE swell, period still 11 seconds, and a cross-off breeze from the NNW at 9 mph. The energy drops to 270, but it’s rideable. Monday afternoon goes offshore, but the swell fades to 3ft.
There’s a real lull from Tuesday the 4th through to Wednesday the 5th, with tiny, weak swell (under 3ft, periods short, energy below 200). Not worth paddling out for. Thursday the 6th morning sees a bump back up to 5ft from the south, period 8 seconds, energy 286, with a light cross-off. It’s clean, but the period is short, so the shape will be a bit fat.
The standout window looks to be Friday morning the 7th. Swell hits 6ft from the S, period 9 seconds, energy strong at 607, and the wind is light cross-off from the WSW. It’s clean, has some push, and the reef should handle it well. That’s the best on offer in the first week. Crowds are often here, so expect company.
Saturday the 8th has similar size but the wind is messy, and by Sunday the 9th, it goes glassy in the morning with a 4ft SE swell – clean but small, with only 178 energy. The crowd will be there for sure.
The second week gets more interesting, but it’s less certain. Monday the 10th is a write-off with small, weak NE swell. Tuesday the 11th morning though, we see a 4ft ESE groundswell with an 11-second period, offshore wind from the NW, and energy at 419. That’s a very promising, clean session. Wednesday the 12th morning is similar but with a 10-second period, still clean.
Then things get big. Thursday the 13th morning, the swell jumps to 8ft from the SSW, but the period is only 8 seconds and the wind is a cross-shore at 19 mph. The energy is very strong (1364), but it’s lumpy and messy. This is expert-only territory, and honestly, the wind and short period make it more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle-surfing dream. The afternoon goes to 13ft, cross-on, and it’s ugly. Friday the 14th stays huge (12ft) and cross-on – not for the faint-hearted.
The long-range outlook improves a little. Saturday the 15th has 7ft from the SSE with a light cross-on, but it’s marginal. By Sunday the 16th morning, we get a clean 5ft SSE swell, light cross-off, energy 422 – that’s a solid, clean sesh. Monday the 17th morning is similar, with 4ft from the S, light cross-off, and energy 486. Those last two mornings are a good way to cap off the forecast.
So, the standout is Friday morning the 7th, with Sunday morning the 2nd a close second for the early birds. The second week’s best bet is Tuesday the 11th morning, but it’s a bit further out, so keep an eye on it.
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.
