The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cookin' at Newport – The Peak (Rhode Island). Water temp is around 64°F, pretty normal for the season.
We got a slow burn to start. Monday morning, August 3rd, we'll see a clean 3ft SE swell with an 11-second interval. It's not gonna shake the earth, but with a light cross-offshore breeze, the surface will be clean. Energy is moderate (270), enough for a few fun rides if you're up early. The afternoon drops to 3ft and the wind goes funny, so the early bird gets the worm.
Then it goes flat. Tuesday the 4th through Saturday the 8th is a total dud – tiny, bumpy, not worth a second look. You'd be wasting your time. Sunday the 9th sees a bump to 4ft from the NE, but it's blown out. Skip it.
Here's where it gets interesting. Tuesday morning, August 11th, we get a clean 2ft S groundswell with a long 13-second period. The energy is good (211), and with a cross-offshore breeze, the reef will have some nice shape. The waves will feel punchier than the size suggests. That clean run continues into Wednesday the 12th with 2ft S swell and light wind. Two solid mornings to get your fix.
The big one is Friday morning, August 14th. A serious 8ft S groundswell with a 12-second period smashes in, and the energy numbers are wild (3142). The wind is offshore and clean. This is heavy, expert-only surf. The reef will be firing, but it's not for the faint of heart. If you're experienced, this is your day. It gets choppy and onshore in the afternoon.
Saturday the 15th still has a strong 7ft S swell, but it's a notch down from Friday. Morning is clean, so it's a good backup plan.
Into the second week, we're back to waist-high stuff, but a couple of glassy mornings pop up. Check out Sunday the 16th (4ft SSE) and Tuesday the 18th (3ft SE) for some clean, fun waves.
Rusty.
