The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at the next couple of weeks at Newport - The Peak (Newport).

This is a reef setup that needs a solid south in the swell window, and it's a bit of a mixed bag to start. We’ve got some clean fun-size surf coming up this weekend, but the real story is a massive pulse of energy pushing in for the start of August. That one is for the experienced crew only.

The water temp is sitting at 65°F which is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

We start off on Thursday the 23rd with pretty weak energy. There’s a little 3ft ENE swell but it’s got poor conditions, so we’re just waiting.

Friday morning the 24th is the first real look. A 7ft south swell (10 seconds) rolls in, with a cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is strong (1395). It’s a bit of a lumpy one with questionable tides, but it’s the first sign of life. The afternoon cleans up slightly but the wind turns onshore.

Saturday morning the 25th is where it gets good. We’ve got a clean 6ft south swell (11 seconds) with a light offshore wind from the WNW. The energy is moderate (697) and the conditions are set to be very good. This is a standout window for the weekend. The afternoon drops off a bit with a smaller swell and light cross-shore wind.

Sunday morning the 26th is another solid shout. Another 6ft south swell (11 seconds) with a cross-offshore breeze. Clean, consistent, and with moderate energy (676). The afternoon gets messy with a cross-on wind.

From Monday the 27th through Friday the 1st of August, the surf drops right off. We’re looking at tiny waves, mostly under 3ft, with weak energy and ordinary to poor conditions. There’s a gap of about 5 days of nothing to write home about. A small window on the 31st shows a clean 4ft south swell, but it’s nothing special.

Now, hold onto your board. Saturday the 2nd of August morning gets wild. A 12ft south swell (10 seconds) with a cross-offshore wind shows up. The energy is massive (3816). This is big, powerful, and only for experts. The afternoon turns into a total mess with a 25 mph cross-wind and rain.

Sunday the 3rd and Monday the 4th are pure chaos. Big 10ft to 13ft swells, but the wind is howling onshore or cross-onshore with rain. The breaks will be a washing machine. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Tuesday the 5th and Wednesday the 6th stay big, with 12ft to 13ft swells, but the wind is still onshore and messy.

Thursday the 7th of August morning is the absolute standout. A 13ft south-east swell (13 seconds) with glassy conditions. The energy is enormous (5599). This is exceptional, but it is big, powerful, and for experts only. The afternoon goes onshore.

Friday the 8th of August morning is also excellent. A 12ft east-south-east swell (13 seconds) with glassy conditions and strong energy (3501). This is another big, clean session for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets choppy.

So, the pick of the fortnight is the clean, glassy big-wave mornings on Thursday the 7th and Friday the 8th of August, but only if you’ve got the skills. The best all-rounder for the average surfer is the classic Saturday morning the 25th or Sunday morning the 26th of July.

Stay safe out there.

Rusty.
