The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Newport - The Peak over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, the first week is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some clean, ridable waves early on, but the real standout is shaping up to be a long way off.
First up, Monday the 3rd of August. Early morning is looking alright with a 3ft swell from the SE, 11-second period, and a light N breeze keeping it cross-off. The combined energy is moderate at 263, and the wave state is clean. It’s not massive, but it’s surfable. The afternoon sees the swell drop a touch to 3ft, but the wind swings around to the WNW and goes offshore, so it’s still clean. Water temp is about average for the time of year.
The next few days are tough. Tuesday the 4th is tiny, with 1ft and 1.0ft, and Wednesday the 5th is not much better, with a messy cross-on wind ruining any chance of a decent wave. Thursday the 6th morning shows a little pulse – 4ft from the S, 8-second period, clean offshore wind from the WNW, and combined energy of 236. It’s a session worth looking at, but the afternoon gets blown out by a cross-on.
Friday the 7th morning is worth a mention too. 4ft from the S, 9-second period, clean with a light cross-off breeze. The energy is 249. After that, it’s a real quiet spell through the weekend and into the following week. Swell stays small, often under 3ft, and wind is mostly messy or cross-off. Nothing to write home about until we get into the second week.
Now, the big news is for Monday the 17th of August. This is the standout. We’ve got a 7ft swell from the S, with a 13-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is a massive 1421, so there’s a ton of power in the water. The wind is a gentle cross-shore from the SSW, so it’s not dead clean, but it’s workable. This is a big, powerful swell that’s going to light up the reef. With that size, it’s definitely for advanced surfers only – over 8ft on the 17th afternoon, so only experts should be out there. The long period (13 seconds) means it’ll be a proper groundswell, with clean, lined-up waves, but expect longer waits between sets. The swell direction is from the S, which matches the optimum SE direction pretty well for this spot.
The following morning, Tuesday the 18th, is still holding good size at 7ft from the S, 11 seconds, with a clean offshore wind from the SW. The energy is still well over 1000 at 1034. This is another serious session for the experts.
So, the pick of the whole 16-day window is clearly Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th of August. That’s a proper, powerful, long-period S swell. The first week is just a warm-up with a few clean but smaller windows. The gap between the decent Friday the 7th morning and the big Monday the 17th is a long, flat spell of about 10 days, so be patient. When it hits, it’s going to be worth the wait.

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.
