The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break down what’s going on at Newport - The Peak.
Right off the bat, Wednesday the 29th is a dud with waves barely breaking at 0.6ft. Don’t bother. But Thursday the 30th of July turns the corner. That morning we’ve got a solid 6ft south swell pushing in, with moderate wave energy at 608. Wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface is clean and inviting. The water sits at 65°, which is normal for this time of year. At 6ft this is a proper expert-only wave; beginners stay on the sand.
Friday the 31st of July is the other big morning: 7ft of south swell, cross-off winds again, and energy ramping up to 809. This is the best of the forecast – reliable, powerful, and clean for those who can handle it.
Saturday the 1st of August keeps the run going with 5ft in the morning, still clean with a 621 energy reading, but the afternoons get a little bumpy. The standout sessions are clearly Thursday morning and Friday morning.
From Monday the 3rd of August it drops off. Wave heights sink to around 3ft and the energy fades. Then we hit a long flat spell. For over a week, mornings are glassy but tiny, with waves ranging from 1ft to 3ft, and afternoons are mostly chopped out. There’s a little bump on Tuesday the 11th of August with 4ft of short-period northeast swell, but it’s forgettable. Then on Thursday the 13th of August, it tries to rebuild to 5ft with a 465 energy reading, but the winds are too strong and cross-offshore – looks calm but the surf quality just isn’t there.
So the bottom line: Thursday morning the 30th and Friday morning the 31st of July are your only real shots. After that, prepare for a long quiet stretch.
Rusty.
