The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I'm looking at the next 16 days for Newport - The Peak.
First off, let's be honest, the start of this run is a bit of a slow burn. We've got a few days of tiny waves and pretty ordinary conditions. The water is sitting at about 64°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so nothing to worry about there.
The first real chance of anything surfable comes on Tuesday morning, the 4th of August. We're talking a tiny 1ft swell from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is light and offshore from the West, so it'll be clean, but the wave energy is weak (51). It's surfable, but don't get your hopes up.
We get a bit of a bump come Thursday morning, the 6th of August. The swell picks up to 2ft from the South, with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy is moderate (100). Still, the wind is a cross-offshore, so it's clean, but it's not exactly firing.
Honestly, the first week and a half is pretty lean. There are a few mornings with clean, surfable conditions, but the swell is small and inconsistent. You'll get a wave, but you'll have to work for it.
The one true standout in this whole period is the morning of Thursday, the 13th of August. This is the one to circle on your calendar. The swell suddenly jumps up to a solid 13ft from the South, with a period of 10 seconds. The energy is massive (3481). The wind is a moderate cross-offshore from the SW, keeping it clean. This is big, powerful, expert-only territory. The Peak is a reef break, so it should handle that size, but you need to be on your game. This is the best on offer, no question.
The morning after, Friday the 14th, is still a solid option with a 10ft swell from the SSE, but it's a step down from the day before. The energy is still very strong (1318), and the wind is offshore, so it'll be clean. Again, for experienced surfers only.
After that peak, we settle back down. The weekend of the 15th and 16th has some smaller, cleaner swells, but nothing that'll get your heart racing. The long-range stuff around the 18th and 19th of August shows some promise with 4ft to 5ft swells and clean conditions, but it's further out, so treat it with a pinch of salt.
Bottom line: if you're an expert, the morning of Thursday the 13th is your window. For everyone else, it's a waiting game.
Rusty.
