The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, givin' it to you straight for Newport - The Peak in the old school units.
The next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag, but we got a couple of windows that'll get your blood pumpin'. The early days are small and ordinary, with a Friday morning session on August 7th offerin' only 2ft of S swell with a weak 9-second period. The combined energy is a modest 117, so it's not gonna get anyone too excited. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothin' wild.
We get a bit of a pulse on Sunday the 9th morning with a 3ft ENE swell and a bit more energy at 198, but it's from a cross-off wind. The real build-up starts Monday the 10th morning. The swell jumps to 5ft from the ENE with a solid 373 combined energy, and a fresh 22 mph offshore wind from the NW will be cleanin' it right up. That's a serious session if you can handle the power.
The standout window is definitely the middle of the second week. Thursday the 13th morning is a monster. We're talkin' 8ft of SSW swell, a 10-second period, and a massive 1227 combined energy. The wind is a cross-off from the SW, so it will be clean. That's heavy, expert-only territory. The afternoon pumps up to 10ft from the S with 1927 energy, but it gets a bit cross with the wind. By Friday the 14th morning, it's still pumpin' with 7ft of S swell at 1016 energy and a light cross-off breeze. That's your best bet for a solid, clean wave, but it's still a big swell.
After that, the energy drops and the wind gets messy, with a lot of poor conditions through to the 19th. Then, hold on for somethin' special. On Saturday the 22nd morning, the forecast shows a solid 8ft S swell, an 8-second period, combined energy of 850, and a clean cross-off wind from the north. That's a long-range promise, so keep your fingers crossed, but it looks like a ripper.
So, if I had to pick one or two, I'd be circlin' the 14th of August morning for a solid, clean session on that 7ft S swell, and the 10th of August morning for that punchy, offshore 5ft ENE swell. For the brave, that 13th of August morning is a monster. Remember, The Peak is a reef break, and it's often crowded, so get in early.
Rusty.
