Alright, surfers, let's get into it. Rusty here, and I've got the lowdown on what's coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
We've got a decent run of waves hitting us, starting off with some solid, clean groundswell that's got a bit of punch. The first few days are looking good, but we'll see a real drop-off after the weekend, with a pretty barren spell through the middle of next week. Then there's a distant possibility of something turning on again a week from Monday, but that's a long way off.
The main event, the standout, is Thursday the 9th morning at Newport - The Peak. It's a reef break that needs an expert touch, and it's exposed to the swell. We've got a 6ft swell rolling in from the SE, and the period is a cracking 10 seconds, that's a proper groundswell. The wave energy is moderate but solid at 832, and with a light 3 mph SW cross-offshore breeze, it's going to be clean. Expect very good surf. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Just a heads up, this spot can get crowded, so get in early.
Friday the 10th morning is also worth a paddle. The swell holds at 6ft from the SE, period still at 10 seconds, and a WSW breeze at 6 mph keeps it cross-off and clean. The energy is a bit lower at 561, but still good fun. Friday afternoon is where it gets interesting – the wind goes glassy with an ESE breeze at 3 mph, and the swell drops to 6ft. That's the kind of surface you dream about.
Saturday the 11th sees the swell ease back to 3ft from the ESE, but the period stretches out to 12 seconds. This long-period groundswell is best handled at a reef like this. Morning conditions are clean with a light NW offshore at 6 mph, and the energy is moderate at 408. A good option if you want something a bit smaller.
After Saturday afternoon, the waves take a real dive. Sunday the 12th through to the end of the following week is a write-off. There's a massive gap of about 5 days with no real recommendations. The swell gets tiny, the wind howls, and it's just not worth it. There's a big pulse of 10ft swell on Wednesday the 15th, but it's accompanied by 25 mph winds, making it a messy, windy mess – more for kites than paddles.
Now, let's look further ahead. Monday the 20th morning shows a bit of promise. We get a 4ft swell from the S, but the period jumps to 12 seconds – that's a nice, long groundswell. The energy is moderate at 378, and with a WNW offshore at 9 mph, it could be clean and fun. It's a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it, but it's something to get you through the flat spell.
So, to wrap it up: hit Thursday the 9th morning for the best of the bunch. Friday morning is solid, and Friday arvo could be glassy perfection. Then expect a long, quiet stretch before a potential glimmer of life a week from Monday.
Stay stoked, and I'll see you out there.
Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Newport - The Peak may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
