The Lowdown
Righto, let's have a look at what's on offer for Newport - The Peak. It's a reef break that works best on a SE swell, so we're not exactly getting its ideal direction, but we'll work with what we've got. The water's sitting at 64°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year – nothing weird going on there.
We're starting off slow. The first couple of days, Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th, have some waves but the conditions are just ordinary. A bit of size Monday morning, 7ft from the ENE with a cross-off breeze, but it's got that "marginal" feel. The combined energy is moderate (820), but with that fresh wind it's not going to be pretty. The afternoon cleans up with a strong offshore, but at 6ft and a short 9-second period, it's going to be a battle to get into. Not the place for the faint-hearted.
Tuesday the 11th shows some life. The morning is small, 3ft, but by the afternoon we get a shift. A 2ft swell from the south with a long 12-second period (257 combined energy) and a light offshore from the WNW. That's proper groundswell, and on a reef like The Peak, those long-period waves will line up nicely. It's only small, but it'll be clean and fun for a good surfer.
Wednesday morning the 12th keeps that clean vibe going. 3ft from the south, 10-second period, gentle offshore. It's not big, but it's glassy and workable.
Now, the standout window is Friday morning the 14th. We get a 5ft swell from the south with a 10-second period, and the wind is a light offshore from the WNW. Combined energy is a solid 502. This is the pick of the early run. It's not huge, but it's clean and has some push. Crowds are often here, so expect company.
After that, things go pretty flat and messy. From Saturday the 15th right through to Wednesday the 19th, we're looking at onshore winds, short-period junk, and a lot of "poor" conditions. There's a solid 5-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
But then, look at Thursday the 20th. This is the real standout for the whole outlook. Thursday morning shows 7ft from the ENE, 9-second period, with a light cross-off breeze. The combined energy is a whopping 1069 – that's strong wave energy. The forecast says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers". At 7ft, it's getting into expert territory, and with that much energy, it's going to be a proper session for those who know what they're doing. Just be aware, with a 9-second period, it's a windswell, so it might be a bit crumbly, but the power will be there.
Friday the 21st morning keeps the quality going with 6ft from the ENE, 10-second period and a light cross-off. Another solid option.
Saturday the 22nd morning also looks good – 7ft, 10-second period, and a glassy offshore from the WSW. That's clean, powerful, and lined up.
To be honest, the best of the best is Thursday the 20th. That combined energy number is huge, and with clean wind, it's going to be a special day at The Peak for the experienced crew. Friday and Saturday mornings are also excellent, but that Thursday is the one to circle.
Stay safe out there.

Information about the Newport - The Peak Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Newport - The Peak provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Newport - The Peak can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
