The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into the local outlook for Newport - The Peak.

We’re looking at a pretty mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. There’s some swell around, but the wind is going to be a real pain for most of it. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The week kicks off on Wednesday afternoon with a small 3ft S swell at 9 seconds, but it’s a cross-offshore wind and the combined energy is only 213 – it’s weak. The call is marginal, nothing to rush for.

Thursday morning sees a bump in size to 5ft from the SSW, but the period drops to a short, weak 6 seconds. The energy climbs a bit to 329, but it’s still a marginal call. Thursday afternoon goes to crap with an onshore wind and a 5ft S swell that’s blown out – zero score.

Friday morning is the first real glimmer. The wind goes light and cross-offshore from the W at 3 mph, with a clean 4ft S swell at 9 seconds. The energy is 281, and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” This is your best bet for the early part of the run. The Peak will be clean and fun for the advanced crew. Friday afternoon turns into a dud again with onshore wind.

Saturday and Sunday are a write-off. Light rain, onshore wind, and building swell up to 6ft on Saturday afternoon, but it’s all choppy and messy. The energy hits 511 on Saturday afternoon, but with the wind, it’s unsurfable. Monday and Tuesday are the same story – onshore wind and poor conditions.

Now, Wednesday the 19th is interesting. The wind goes glassy at 3 mph from the SSE. The swell is only 3ft from the SE at 7 seconds, and the energy is low at 174. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Still, a glassy morning at The Peak is always worth a look if you’re desperate.

Thursday the 20th morning is clean again with a light cross-offshore wind, but the swell is small at 4ft from the E with a short period. It’s a one-star day.

The standout window is Friday the 21st through Saturday the 22nd. Friday morning looks clean with a 4ft ENE swell at 8 seconds, and a light N wind at 6 mph. The energy is 200 – moderate. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and surfable. Saturday morning and afternoon both hold 4ft from the ENE at 9 seconds, with cross-offshore winds from the N and NNW. The energy is around 280-288. This is your best run of consistent, clean surf for the whole forecast. The Peak handles a SE swell direction best, so this ENE swell is a bit off-angle, but the clean conditions and fairly consistent sets will make it work for the advanced surfers.

The pulse on Sunday the 23rd gets messy with strong WSW winds, so don’t bother.

Now, looking further ahead to the second week, Monday the 24th brings a bigger 7ft S swell with a 10-second period, but it’s cross-shore wind and choppy. The energy is 961 – strong – but the quality is poor. Tuesday the 25th morning cleans up with a light SW wind and 4ft S swell at 10 seconds. It’s a decent clean-up, but not a standout.

The rest of the week tails off into small, weak, or onshore junk. The 26th is glassy but tiny at 2ft, and the 27th brings a bigger 6ft S swell but with a nasty cross-onshore wind – a total mess.

Overall, the best on offer is the run from Friday the 21st morning through Saturday the 22nd. It’s clean, consistent, and the swell is a solid 4-4ft. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got. Friday morning the 21st is the pick of the bunch for a clean session.

Rusty.
