The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid 16-day window with a real mixed bag on the cards for Newport - The Peak.
The week kicks off on Saturday the 25th with a pulse of energy. The early morning session is the one to be on. A 6-foot swell from the south, with an 11-second period, sending moderate energy into the bay. The wind is offshore from the west, keeping things clean. That’s your best bet for the early part of the window. On Saturday afternoon, the wind swings cross-shore, and the swell drops, so don't sleep in.
Sunday the 26th is a big one. Morning brings a solid 7-foot groundswell from the south, 11-second period, and strong wave energy. The wind is cross-offshore, keeping the face clean. The swell is getting up there, so it’s pushing into intermediate territory, but for experienced surfers, this is a standout. The afternoon goes onshore, so again, get it early.
Monday the 27th morning is a real treat. The swell drops to 4 feet, and it’s glassy. Flat calm, clean lines. The wave energy is still present, and with those light winds, it’s going to be a beautiful, cruisy session for anyone who can handle a reef. This is a hidden gem in the forecast.
Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th are a write-off. The swell drops to nothing, less than 2 feet, barely any energy. Wednesday afternoon sees a brief spike to 7 feet, but it’s blown out by a strong cross-onshore wind, making it a choppy mess. No good. Thursday the 30th is similar, bumpy and messy.
Friday the 31st morning brings a tiny reprieve. A 5-foot swell from the south-southeast, with offshore winds and clean conditions. The energy is moderate. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. The first week of August is a flat spell. From the 1st to the 5th, the swell is tiny, under 3 feet, with inconsistent and poor conditions. It’s a long, quiet stretch.
The real standout, the one that gets the heart pumping, is Saturday the 8th of August. This is a big event. The morning shows a massive 21-foot swell from the south-southeast, with a 12-second period and extreme wave energy. The wind is offshore from the northwest. That’s a *huge* amount of water. The guidance says it might be too big for this spot, but if you are an expert surfer, the afternoon session is going to be exceptional. The swell drops slightly to 20 feet, the wind is cross-offshore, and the energy is still immense. This is a serious, big-wave day. For the rest of us, it’s a day to watch from the cliffs.
The last day in the window, Sunday the 9th of August, still has a 16-foot swell from the southeast, but it’s onshore. The conditions are marginal, so it’s not your day.
Keep your eyes on Sunday the 26th morning and Saturday the 8th of August afternoon. That’s the good stuff.
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.
