Alright, this is Rusty talkin’. Let's get into it for Newport - The Peak.
We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands, but the first real chance to paddle out is looking like Friday morning, July 10th. Straight up, the standout session across the whole 16-day window is that Friday morning. Swell is a clean 5ft from the SE, with a period of 9 seconds, and you’ve got light WSW cross-off winds keeping the surface clean. The wave energy is moderate (478), so it’s not a heaving beast, but it’s a proper, surfable wave. The downside is that crowds are often here, so you’ll have company. This is a reef break for advanced surfers, and the water temp is about average for the time of year, so no drama there.
The run-up to that is a bit grim. Wednesday and Thursday, July 8th and 9th, are a write-off. The swell is big, 8ft down to 6ft, but it’s all cross-shore and chopped up by the wind, with a massive energy reading (1753) on Wednesday morning that just means a messy, unsettled ocean. Not worth it.
After Friday, the window closes fast. Saturday morning, July 11th, has a clean 4ft from the SE with a light offshore NW wind, but the energy is weak (373) and the swell is small. It’s clean, but it’s a shadow of Friday. The surf drops off a cliff after that.
From Sunday, July 12th, through to the end of the forecast, we’re looking at tiny, weak surf. The combined energy drops to triple digits, then down to double digits. There’s a brief, very ordinary window on Monday morning, July 13th, with a 3ft SSW swell and an offshore wind, but it’s short-period and weak. By Thursday, July 16th, a big 8ft S swell pops up, but it’s hammered by fresh onshore winds, creating a lumpy, blown-out mess. That’s a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle one.
The tail end of the outlook, from July 20th through the 23rd, sees some glassy or offshore conditions, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft to 3ft. You’ll be sitting waiting for a dribble. With the combined energy values barely hitting 100, it’s a flat spell. The wait for the next real swell is on. For an area that is fairly consistent, this is a dry spell, but it won’t last forever.
Rusty.

Information about the Newport - The Peak Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Newport - The Peak provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Newport - The Peak can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Newport - The Peak surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Newport - The Peak) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
