Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same rundown but in feet and miles per hour.
We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but a couple of sessions are looking like absolute crackers. The water is sitting at 66°F, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
First up, Thursday morning, the 9th of July. Newport - The Peak is the spot to be. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell rolling in from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore, and the energy is pumping at a solid 832 (moderate wave energy). The boys are calling it clean with very good surf conditions. Crowds are often around here, so get in early. This is a reef break for the advanced crew, so take that into account.
That quality holds into Friday morning, the 10th, with similar 6ft SE swell and clean cross-off winds. Friday afternoon turns glassy as the wind drops to nothing, with 6ft SE swell. That’s a seriously good window of surf.
Saturday, the 11th, sees the swell drop a bit to 3ft but the period stretches out to 12 seconds. That’s a proper long-period groundswell, and it’ll wrap into the point here nicely. The wind is clean off the NNW in the morning. Less energy (389), but still a good, clean wave.
Now, after that, we hit a dry spell. From Sunday the 12th through to Tuesday the 14th, the swell drops right off. We’re looking at knee-to-waist high dribble, and the energy is weak (down to 22 in the 61-124 range). It’s a real lull for a few days.
Then it gets nasty. From Wednesday the 15th right through to the 19th, a big southerly swell kicks in, but it’s ripped to shreds by strong onshore winds. We’re talking 18ft monster swell on the 16th and 17th, but with 22-25 mph cross-on winds. The energy is off the charts (over 6000), but it’ll be a complete washing machine. That’s kite-surfing conditions, not for a paddle surfer. The swell is too big, and the wind is trash.
The tide turns on Monday morning, the 20th of July. The wind swings offshore from the NW, and we get a much cleaner 6ft SE swell. The energy is back to a solid 830, and the forecast is for very good surf. That’s a standout session.
Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July, is another one to circle. The swell jumps to 12ft from the SSE, with a moderate offshore wind. The energy is up at 2155 (strong). This is for experienced surfers only, as it’s over 8ft, but the conditions are clean. The wind gets a bit stronger in the afternoon, but it’s still offshore.
The run of clean surf continues into Friday, the 24th of July. It’s a long-range forecast, so it’s promising but less certain, but the morning shows 8ft SE swell with a light offshore wind and an energy of 1269. That’s excellent for the experienced crew.
So, to wrap it up: the best on offer is the Thursday-Friday window this week, and then the run from next Monday, the 20th, through Wednesday, the 22nd. The big swell mid-month is a write-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.
