The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here.
We’ve got a bit of a quiet start to the forecast, then a proper pulse of energy comes through mid-period, but it’s going to be a mixed bag of quality and messy conditions. The opening days at Newport – The Peak are pretty flat, with nothing worth getting excited about. The first decent chance rolls in on Sunday the 9th: clean shoulders, a touch under three feet with a cross-off breeze. It’s small but fun. The real standout, though, looks like the morning of Friday the 14th. We get a clean 5ft of southerly swell, light offshore wind, and that reef will be handling it nicely. Combined energy’s sitting at 425, which is solid, and the period is just under 10 seconds, so there’s a bit of push. That’s your pick of the bunch.
Heads up for the 13th—that afternoon if you’re a beginner, give it a miss. The swell jumps to 8ft with a long 12-second period and onshore wind. That’s expert-only territory. On the morning of the 15th, there’s still 7ft of south swell on offer, and a light cross breeze keeps it clean, but it’s a restless ocean. Overall, don’t expect much after the 17th, just a slow taper back into smaller surf and onshore winds. Newport – The Peak is a reef, advanced crew only, and it’s fairly consistent, but you’ll need to pick your windows. Water temps are about average for this time of year, so no worries there.
One more thing—if you’re looking at the 20th and 21st, there’s a bit of clean energy around mid-morning on the 21st, a short 5ft easterly swell with a cross-off wind. It’ll be clean, but the period is short, so it’s a bit gutless. Not the day you’re going to tell your mates about. The real glory is the 14th, no question.
