Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Newport – The Peak is serving up over the next couple of weeks. Straight up – this is an advanced reef break that needs a clean offshore and a solid SE groundswell to really fire, and we’ve got a long wait before anything worth paddling out for. The first few days are a write‑off – Monday the 6th through Thursday the 9th are a mess of cross‑onshore winds, rain, and choppy 6–10 ft swell with weak energy numbers (1807 down to 855). No point even looking at it.
Friday the 10th finally gives us a little hope. Morning brings a light cross‑off breeze from the SW, 6 ft SE swell at 10 seconds, and the wave energy sits at 706 – moderate but building. Conditions clean up nicely, and it’s a very good session for those who know the reef. Crowds are often here, so expect company.
Saturday the 11th is smaller – 4 ft SE swell, period 9 seconds, light NW winds keeping things cross‑off in the morning. Energy drops to 433, still surfable but nothing to get fired up about. By afternoon it turns cross and marginal.
Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th are mostly flat with tiny swell (under 3 ft) and strong offshore winds – clean but no power. Not worth the drive.
Now here’s where it gets interesting. Tuesday the 14th morning: a fresh 7 ft S swell rolls in, period 9 seconds, with moderate energy hitting 1244. Winds are cross‑off from the SW, so it’s clean. This is a proper step up. It’s a little too big for beginners, but for advanced crew it’s a fun, punchy reef wave. Still, the best is yet to come.
Wednesday the 15th – mark it on your calendar. Morning shows 7 ft S swell at 9 seconds, but the wind turns offshore from the WNW at just 6 mph. That’s glassy, clean, and the reef will be peeling beautifully. Combined energy reads 1125 – solid. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The swell direction is a touch south of the optimum SE, but with that offshore breeze and a long‑period groundswell feel (9 seconds isn’t super long, but it’s got shape), this is the standout of the whole forecast. Expect a few heads out – it’s often crowded, but for a wave like this you’ll put up with it.

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.
