The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
We're looking at Newport – The Peak, a reef break that's better suited for the advanced crew. Right now, the water temperature is sitting at about 64°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
The next few days are a bit of a mixed bag. There's a tiny window of hope on Saturday, 1 August, with a small 5 ft swell from the SSE, but it's not going to be great. The wind is light and from the ESE, which is onshore, so it's a scratch. Hold out for Sunday morning, 2 August. That's the real standout. We've got a 5 ft swell from the SSE, but the period is a lengthy 13 seconds, which means some proper groundswell energy. The wind is light from the north, giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. The combined energy is pumping, so it's got some punch. This is your best bet for the near-term.
Sunday afternoon the wind swings and picks up, making a mess of things, and Monday morning, 3 August, drops down to a 3 ft SE swell. It's clean with a light offshore, but it's small. The surf then fades out badly through the middle of the week. From Tuesday, 4 August, through to Saturday, 8 August, it's mostly tiny, weak, or blown out. There's a brief flare-up on Friday morning, 7 August, with a 6 ft S swell and some decent energy, but the wind is a light cross-off, so it's worth a look if you're desperate.
The real standout for the whole period is further out. Mark your calendars for Friday morning, 14 August. Swell jumps to 7 ft from the south, with a solid energy reading. The wind is light and offshore from the WNW, so it's going to be clean. At 7 ft, this is going to be good for the advanced surfers, but it might be a bit much for beginners. This is the one to get excited about, but it's a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
The run-up to that is a bit of a desert. From the 9th to the 13th, there's nothing really worth paddling out for. Small, weak, and often messy. There's a big gap there with no real recommendations.
So, to sum it up: Sunday morning, 2 August, is your best bet for the early part, and Friday morning, 14 August, is the long-range target.
Rusty.
