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.
