The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Newport - The Peak.
The outlook is pretty quiet to start. We’re looking at five or six days of small, ordinary surf before things finally start to rumble. For the first week, from Wednesday the 5th through to about Monday the 10th, it’s mostly small surf with weak energy. The best you can hope for are those glassy mornings with tiny 1ft to 2ft waves, mostly from the east or south, with periods around 8 to 10 seconds. The combined energy is low, around 41 to 89 (weak). It’s surfable if you’re desperate for a paddle, but don’t expect much. A few afternoons get choppy with cross-onshore winds, so pick your windows carefully.
The first real standout window fires up early on Tuesday the 11th. Tuesday morning is where it gets interesting. A clean 5ft groundswell from the south with a long 13-second period rolls in, combined energy hitting 844 (moderate to strong). Offshore wind from the WNW at 10 km/h will have it looking clean. This is a reef break, and that longer period means better shaped, more powerful waves with longer waits between sets. It’s advanced-only, and crowds are often here, so get there early.
After that, conditions taper off again until the big stuff arrives. The next major highlight is Friday the 14th morning. This is a serious pulse – 8ft of clean south swell with an 11-second period, and combined energy is a massive 3062 (strong). The wind is light and offshore from the southwest. This is excellent for experienced surfers only; beginners should stay well clear. The break will be powerful and demanding.
Looking further ahead, there is a promising but less certain window around Monday the 17th through Wednesday the 19th. Swell stays big, around 10ft, with periods of 8 to 11 seconds from the south. The best bet in that stretch is Tuesday the 18th morning, when it goes glassy with 10ft of south swell at 11 seconds, combined energy at 2255 (strong). That’s expert-only territory, and with glassy conditions, it’ll be as good as it gets for big-wave chargers. Later in that week, Thursday the 20th afternoon offers a return of clean, offshore conditions with 5ft swell from the SSE, but the energy is still solid at 901.
The water temperature is about 64°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Overall, the best on offer is Tuesday the 11th morning for a fun, clean session, and Friday the 14th morning for the bigger, more powerful stuff. The big swell around the 17th to 19th is promising but a bit further out, so keep an eye on it.
Stay stoked.
Rusty.

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. Our Newport - The Peak surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Newport - The Peak) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
