Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Newport – The Peak over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a slow start. We’re kicking off the forecast with barely a ripple. The first few days (Monday through to Tuesday) are flat and pretty forgettable, with tiny 1.0ft swells and a bit of offshore wind, but the energy is weak (55 and 36). You’d be scratching for any kind of ride. The water is sitting at 66°F, which is about average for this time of year, nothing special.
Then, Wednesday the 15th is where things start to get interesting. We’ve got a pulse of 7ft southerly swell rolling in, with a moderate combined energy of 1383 – that’s a solid push. The period is 10 seconds, so it’s a short-interval groundswell, meaning it’ll have some punch but won’t be super clean. The morning wind is cross-offshore, which will keep the surface reasonably tidy, but it’s not perfect. The afternoon gets a bit cross-shore and lumpy. This is the pick of the first week, but don’t expect any glassy perfection.
Thursday the 16th looks messy, with 15-18 mph cross-shore winds and rain showers. The swell is still 7ft, but the period drops to 8 seconds, making it short and choppy. Not a good look. Friday is even worse, with light rain and onshore winds breaking up the 3ft to 4ft swell.
Now, here’s the standout for the whole run: Saturday morning the 18th. The wind goes glassy – dead calm at 3 mph from the southeast – and the swell is 4ft from the east with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is 312, so it’s moderate and clean. This is the best session you’ll see. The waves will be small but clean, perfect for a high-performance board. The break is a reef, so it’ll hold that east swell nicely. Crowds are often here, so expect some company, but it’ll be worth it.
The following week (from the 20th onward) drops off again. You’ll see some smaller 5ft to 4ft east swells, but the wind is mostly cross-on or cross-off. The period is a bit longer (9-10 seconds), which is better for shape, but the energy is lower (down to 432-319). Tuesday the 21st morning has clean cross-off wind from the west, but the swell is only 4ft. It’s rideable but not exciting.
The tail end of the forecast (from the 23rd to the 28th) is weak. Swells hover around 2ft to 3ft, with very low energy (100-150). The wind is mostly offshore or cross-off, which keeps it clean, but there’s just not enough size to get excited about. Saturday the 25th morning has a tiny 3ft swell with WNW offshore wind, but it’s too small for anything more than a longboard cruise.
Bottom line: the best bet is Saturday morning the 18th – glassy, clean, 4ft east swell. That’s your window. The rest is a mixed bag of small and ordinary.
Rusty.

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.
