The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down the surf ahead for Newport - The Peak. This is a reef break, proper advanced stuff, and it’s fairly consistent. The water’s hanging around 64°, which is pretty average for the season.
First decent session is Tuesday afternoon, August 11th. We’re looking at a 6-foot south swell, 11-second period, with a light offshore breeze from the WNW. The wave energy is moderate at 801, and it’s clean. That’s a solid kickoff and the best of the early days.
Wednesday morning, August 12th, stays clean with 4-foot surf and a gentle offshore, but the energy drops to 324. Still a nice session, just smaller. Thursday morning, August 13th, is weak and short-period – not worth it. Thursday afternoon sees a bigger 6-foot south swell, but the wind is onshore from the ESE, so it’s messy.
Friday morning, August 14th, is clean again with 4-foot surf and offshore wind, but it’s small. From Friday afternoon through Wednesday, August 19th, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is either small or poorly shaped. Long stretch of poor to marginal conditions, with energy mostly under 400 and periods under 8 seconds.
Then Thursday, August 20th, throws up an 8-foot east swell with a 9-second period, and strong energy at 955. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’s marginal but worth a look for the experts. That’s expert-size territory.
The real standout is Friday morning, August 21st. We’ve got a 7-foot east swell, 9-second period, clean and glassy with a light SW cross-offshore breeze. Energy is high at 788, and the wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is the one to circle – but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
After that, the swell backs off. Saturday, August 22nd, is smaller and cross-onshore, but Sunday morning, August 23rd, brings a clean 5-foot east-northeast swell with a 10-second period and a light offshore. Energy is 442, moderate, and it’s clean.
The following week has small, clean morning windows on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, with 4-foot surf and offshore winds, but energy stays under 300. Good for a quiet paddle, but nothing special.
Bottom line: Friday morning, August 21st, is the standout for size, clean conditions, and energy. Tuesday afternoon, August 11th, is also a strong early option. The rest is either small and clean or blown out. Keep your expectations in check, and watch that Friday session.
