The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking the waves at Newport – The Peak. This is a reef break, so it can handle a bit of size, but we gotta work through some so-so days to find the gems.
The surf starts on Friday, July 31st, but it’s a wash. The morning has a 6ft south swell, but the wind is side-shore, so it’s choppy. Afternoon has onshore wind, making it worse. Skip it.
We get a good turn on Saturday, August 1st. The swell drops to a clean 5ft to 6ft from the SSE, with a 9-second period. The wind is the key: Saturday morning is a light offshore wind, and Saturday afternoon goes glassy. That’s the window for smooth, clean waves. The wave energy is moderate.
Sunday, August 2nd, is the real standout of the first week. The morning is sweet. The swell is 6ft from the SSE, but the period jumps to 13 seconds – that’s groundswell. The wind is light offshore, so the waves will be clean. The wave energy is strong. Long period swells like this can mean longer waits between sets, but at a reef break like The Peak, it will wrap in nicely. The afternoon gets blown out by a 12 mph cross-on wind, so get it in the morning.
The water temp is 65°F, which is normal for the season, so you're fine.
Monday, August 3rd, is still decent. The swell drops to 3ft from the SE, but it still has a good 11-second period. Clean morning with offshore wind. Tuesday, the 4th, is flat – tiny, not worth the effort. A couple of days with nothing.
Wednesday, August 5th, sees a bump back to 6ft from the S, 11 seconds, with a clean morning. The wave energy is moderate. Thursday morning, August 6th, is clean with 5ft from the S.
Into the second week, it gets smaller and more ordinary. Friday, August 7th to Monday, August 10th is mostly small surf, under 3ft, with some clean mornings but nothing special. Tuesday, August 11th, stays small with fresh offshore wind, making it clean but tiny.
Then, the big one. Saturday, August 15th, the swell jumps to a massive 16ft from the SSE, with an 11-second period. The wave energy is extreme. The wind is light and offshore in the morning, giving clean conditions. This is an exceptional day, but only for experts. 16ft on a reef is serious, heavy stuff. Beginners should not even think about it. The afternoon gets messy with onshore wind.
So, the top pick is the morning of Sunday, August 2nd – that’s the best of the first week. For the whole forecast, the big event is the morning of Saturday, August 15th, but it’s for experienced surfers only. Crowds are often a problem here, so expect company on the good days.
Rusty.
