The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty.

First up, we’re looking at Newport - The Peak. This is a reef break that needs an advanced surfer to handle it, and it’s fairly consistent. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The next few days are a real mixed bag, and honestly, not much to get excited about. Thursday the 6th has some small, weak swell at 2 ft from the south, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 76. Morning winds are cross-off, but it’s just not doing much. Friday and Saturday mornings see a tiny uptick to 2 ft from the south, with light offshore winds from the WNW, which will clean things up, but the energy is still low (118 and 104). It’s surfable, but very ordinary.

Sunday the 9th has a bit more size, pushing 3 ft from the ENE, with a 9-second period and moderate energy (182). The wind is offshore from the NNW, so it’ll be clean, but the swell direction isn’t great for the optimum SE direction this break likes. Monday the 10th is a write-off for paddling. The swell bumps up to 5 ft from the ENE, but with a 25 mph offshore wind, it’s going to be a battle to get out there. The combined energy jumps to 390 (moderate), but that wind is just too strong for a fun session.

The one standout in this whole outlook is Tuesday morning, August 11th. We’ve got a solid 4 ft south swell, with a 9-second period and a combined energy of 277 (moderate). The wind is light offshore from the WNW at 6 mph. That’s going to be clean, with some proper shape. The swell direction is south, which is a good match for the break’s optimum, and it's the best call in the period. Keep in mind, crowds are often here, so you’ll have company.

After that, the window goes quiet again. The 12th and 13th have clean conditions but tiny waves. Thursday the 13th has a pulse of 6 ft from the SW with a 8-second period and strong energy (434), but the wind is a strong 19 mph cross-off, making it messy and hard to control.

The next real window of opportunity is Saturday morning, August 15th. This is the best-looking swell in the whole 16-day run. We’re looking at 6 ft from the south, with a 10-second period and a combined energy of 659 (strong). The wind is a gentle 9 mph cross-off from the SW, which will keep it clean. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The swell size is in the sweet spot for advanced surfers, but it’s getting big enough that beginners should sit this one out.

After that, the 16th and 17th see a drop in size and some rain showers with strong, messy cross-shore winds. The 18th and 19th are flat and small. But then, the end of the period shows a little hope. Thursday morning, August 20th, has 3 ft from the south with an 8-second period (energy 209), and the wind is glassy from the WSW at 3 mph. That’s a rare glassy morning and will be super clean. Friday morning, August 21st, also looks promising with 4 ft from the south, an 11-second period, and a combined energy of 339 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-off from the WSW. That longer period (11 seconds) means better shaped waves, but it’s a long-range call, so less certain.

Overall, the best bet is the Saturday the 15th morning session for the best quality, with Tuesday the 11th and Friday the 21st as solid backup options.

Rusty.
