The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you: the next 16 days for Newport – The Peak are a bit of a mixed bag, with a fair few days of ordinary conditions before we get a couple of windows that actually look worth paddling out for. The first real opportunity doesn’t show up until Sunday the 19th of July, so there’s a solid gap of a few days of poor or marginal surf before that.
The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, nothing weird going on there.
The early part of the week (Wednesday 15th through Saturday 18th) is pretty much a write-off. We’ve got a moderate-sized swell around 8ft on Wednesday but it’s coming in with a cross wind and a cross-chop, and the combined energy is a strong 1319 (moderate to strong wave energy). The period is short (9-10 seconds) so it’s not got much grunt, and the conditions are just messy. Thursday gets worse with a fresh cross-shore and lumpy chop, and the swell drops to 8ft but the energy is still moderate (645-648). By Friday and Saturday, the swell fades to 3ft or less, and it’s all cross-onshore and choppy – not worth a look.
Sunday the 19th is when things start to shift. We get a 8ft ENE swell with a 10-second period and a moderate combined energy of 1221. The wind goes offshore (onshore in the file for morning, but it’s listed as “on” which is onshore) – actually, it’s “on” for the morning, so that’s a bit messy. The score is still low, but it’s the first sign of life.
Monday the 20th of July is the standout. The morning session is looking glassy – wind is a mere 5 km/h (3 mph) from the south, which is essentially glass. The swell is 6ft from the ENE with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is 849 (moderate). The tide might be a factor, but the “very good surf conditions” call is the best we’ve seen all week. This is your best bet for clean, lined-up waves. The Peak is an exposed reef break, so it handles the ENE swell well, and the optimum swell direction is SE, but ENE is still direct. Crowds are often here, so expect company.
Tuesday the 21st offers a clean morning with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW, 5ft swell, same period, and energy dropping to 485. It’s a good option, but not as good as Monday.
After that, the swell fades through the rest of the week (Wednesday 22nd to Friday 24th) with 4-4ft sets and cleaner winds in the mornings, but the energy is low (300-400 range). Friday the 24th sees a jump in swell to 7ft from the south, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy – not great.
The next potential highlight is Saturday the 25th of July morning – glassy conditions again, tiny 3ft ENE swell, but clean. More of a longboard or funboard day.
Then Tuesday the 28th of July morning looks promising: a 5ft south swell with a 10-second period, combined energy 609 (moderate), and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the SW. The file says “very good surf conditions” – that’s another one to circle, but it’s over a week away, so keep an eye on it.
The long-range stuff (end of July into early August) is all small, ordinary, or onshore. No real standouts beyond the 20th and 28th.
So, for the best session: Monday the 20th of July, early morning at Newport – The Peak (Newport). Glassy, 6ft ENE swell, moderate energy. Get on it.

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.
