The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at your local patch—Newport - The Peak. It’s a reef setup, so it’s got that nice shape when it works, but it ain’t for the faint-hearted; this one’s for advanced crew only. The water temp is sittin’ about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The next couple of days, Friday the 24th through Sunday the 26th, we’ve got some solid S swell pushin’ in—around 6 ft to 6 ft with a 10 to 11 second period, which is decent groundswell. The energy’s there, with combined energy readings of 553 to 914—moderate to strong. But Friday, the wind is a letdown: cross-off or onshore, not clean. Saturday morning is where it starts to get real interesting. A WNW wind at 6 mph gives us a clean cross-off, and the swell is 6 ft, period 11 seconds, energy at 701—that’s a solid wave. Then Saturday afternoon turns glassy with a NE breeze, swell droppin’ to 4 ft, but the energy is still 360. That’s the standout session this weekend: clean, glassy, and a good wave.

Sunday morning keeps it goin’ with WSW cross-off at 9 mph and 6 ft S swell, energy 749. That’s another ripper. But by Sunday afternoon, the wind swings onshore and the quality drops.

Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th, the swell drops off fast—down to 4 ft and then 2 ft. The energy drops to 210 and then 85. It’s surfable, but ordinary. Wednesday the 29th is tiny—1 ft with a weird 18-second period, so it’s a long-period groundswell but no size. Not worth paddlin’ out for.

Then we hit a real dry spell. From Thursday the 30th to Friday the 31st, the swell is all over the place—3 ft to 4 ft—but the wind is cross-on or onshore, and the conditions are poor. The energy bumps up to 409 on Thursday morning, but it’s with rain showers and choppy water. Not good.

The first week of August starts off quiet. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd have small clean waves—3 ft—but the energy is down to 216. Monday the 3rd has a bit more size at 5 ft, but the afternoon wind gets messy.

Now, hold onto your board—Thursday the 6th of August is a big one. Early morning, it’s glassy, calm, and the swell is 8 ft from the SSE with 8-second period, energy at 860. That’s a strong, powerful wave. But that size puts it in the expert-only zone. The afternoon stays at 8 ft but picks up a cross-on breeze, so the morning is the clear window. Still, it’s a true standout for the big-wave crew.

And then look at Saturday the 8th of August—13 ft of ENE swell, 12-second period, and an energy reading of 4724. That is massive. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNW. This is an excellent, powerful swell for experienced surfers, but it’s over a week away, so things can change. Right now, it’s a promising call for the experts.

The best on offer? Saturday the 25th of July morning—clean, glassy Saturday afternoon, and the early glass on Thursday the 6th of August. The big one on the 8th is a long-range standout.

Alright, keep your eyes on the horizon. This is Rusty, signing off.
