The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty here, and I’ve got a good look at what’s coming for Newport – The Peak over the next couple of weeks. Let’s get straight into it.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the good news is it doesn’t stay flat for long. The first decent session hits on Tuesday morning, the 21st of July. The swell is a solid 5ft from the ENE with a 10-second period, and the water’s sitting at 65°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. The wind is light from the north, cross-off, keeping things clean. Combined wave energy is moderate at 508. It’s a good, clean start for the advanced crew.
Wednesday morning, the 22nd, drops a little to 4ft, but the wind swings WNW and goes offshore – light and clean. It’s a smaller day, but that offshore wind will have it looking tidy. The energy drops to 289.
Thursday the 23rd is a write-off. Swell drops below 3ft, wind picks up, and the energy is weak. Skip it.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Friday morning, the 24th of July, is a standout. We’ve got a solid 7ft south swell rolling in with a 10-second period. The wind is light from the SW, cross-off, and the water is clean. The combined energy jumps to 1496 – that’s strong. This is for experienced surfers only; it’s too big for the groms. The swell direction is from the south, which is a good match for this spot.
Saturday the 25th backs off a bit to 6ft, but it’s still a clean south swell with moderate energy. The wind is a bit stronger from the west, but it’s cross-off, so it’s rideable. Sunday the 26th is similar, but the afternoon gets onshore, so grab the morning.
The next real standout is a long way off, but it’s a big one. Wednesday the 29th of July, the afternoon brings a massive 12ft south swell. The wind is offshore from the west, and the energy is through the roof at 1951. This is for experts only, no question. Then Thursday the 30th holds 10ft to 12ft from the south, with strong energy, but the wind is onshore in the afternoon.
Friday the 31st of July is another absolute cracker. Morning has 10ft from the south, 12-second period, with offshore wind from the west. The energy is 2782. The afternoon keeps 10ft, still clean, and the energy jumps to 4088. This is about as good as it gets for the Peak, but it’s a serious, heavy swell – only for the experienced.
Saturday the 1st of August stays big at 12ft in the morning, clean, but the afternoon gets a cross-on breeze. Sunday the 2nd of August is the best of the bunch in the second week. Morning sees 12ft from the south, 11-second period, with a solid offshore wind from the west. The energy is massive at 4745. This is a beast of a day, but again, it’s for experts only.
After that, the swell drops a bit, and the wind gets messy from the 3rd of August onwards, with cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions. The swell fades through the 5th.
So, to wrap it up: the two true standouts are Friday morning the 24th of July and Sunday morning the 2nd of August. Both have solid south swell, clean winds, and strong energy. The Peak is a reef break, and it’s fairly consistent, but it can get crowded often, so get there early. The long-period south swells in the second week will be punchy, so pick your peak carefully.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
