Table - best surf conditions forecast for Newport - The Peak over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks at Newport - The Peak.
The forecast kicks off on Friday the 10th of July with a nice little pulse. We’ve got a solid 6ft SE swell pushing in with a 10-second period, and the energy reading sits at 573 (moderate). Early morning has a light WSW cross-off breeze, so it’ll be clean. By afternoon the wind goes glassy – dead calm – and the swell drops a fraction to 5ft. That Friday afternoon session is the standout of the opening days: clean, glassy conditions with a solid long-period groundswell. The Peak is a reef break that loves this SE direction, and with only “often” crowds, it won’t be a total circus. Tough spot for beginners at this size though.
Saturday the 11th drops off noticeably. Morning sees 3ft from the ESE with a 12-second period, light NW cross-off breeze, and combined energy of 411 (moderate). It’s clean, but the size is small. By afternoon a NNE cross-breeze picks up to 15 km/h and things get a bit choppy – marginal at best. Sunday the 12th is even smaller: 2ft in the morning with a westerly cross-off at 25 km/h, energy down to 103 (weak). Afternoon goes offshore at 20 km/h but the swell is only 2ft. Not much to get excited about.
Monday the 13th is tiny – 1.0ft SSW swell. Glassy afternoon but no power. Tuesday the 14th is flat out poor, with 0.7ft waves.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Wednesday the 15th sees a big jump: 10ft S swell arriving with an 8-second period and energy of 1208 (strong). That’s already big, but the wind is a moderate cross-breeze at 25 km/h, so it’s lumpy. By afternoon it’s 12ft with a fresh 30 km/h cross-wind – looks more like a kitesurfer’s playground than a paddle session. Thursday the 16th holds 12ft to 15ft from the SSE with 9-10 second periods, energy climbing above 4000 (very strong). Still cross-shore winds, so it’s messy.
The real standout comes on Friday the 17th of July. Morning shows a massive 18ft SE swell with a 12-second period and energy of 8866 (very strong). The wind is light SSW at 10 km/h, only a slight cross – so the lines will be clean. This is a serious groundswell, long-period, and at a reef break like The Peak, expect powerful, well-shaped waves. This is one for experts only – way too big for beginners. Afternoon gets a choppier cross-onshore, but the morning window is the one.
Then Saturday the 18th: another 18ft swell, this time from the SSE, 12 seconds, energy 8418 (very strong). Morning has a light WSW cross-off breeze, 10 km/h – clean, big, solid. That’s another elite session for the experienced crew. Sunday the 19th drops to 10ft SSE with a 11-second period, energy 2011 (strong), and a light NNW breeze keeping it clean – still good for strong surfers.
Monday the 20th settles to 6ft SE with a 10-second period, gentle offshore from the NW, and energy 676 (moderate). Clean and fun for a wider range of abilities. After that, the swell steadily fades through to Wednesday the 22nd, with tiny waves and poor conditions.
Thursday the 23rd shows a brief pulse: 4ft S swell, 8-second period, light offshore from the WNW, energy 205 (weak). It’s clean but short-period and small. Friday the 24th is mostly flat again, then Saturday the 25th brings another big spike: 12ft S swell, 12-second period, energy 3587 (very strong), with a light WNW offshore breeze – clean and powerful, another expert-only morning.
So overall, the best of it is the Friday 17th and Saturday 18th of July: big groundswell, clean winds, and that reef setup firing. The first week is a slow start, then it gets proper. Watch the forecast, but that window looks promising.
No word on water temperature in the data, so can’t tell you if it’s warmer or cooler than usual.
Stay safe out there.

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.
