The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on offer for Newport - The Peak, a reef setup for advanced surfers.
Right now, the surf is flat. We’ve got nothing going on until the morning of Thursday, July 30th. That’s when things kick off with a bit of a jump.
Thursday, July 30th sees a morning push of south swell at 6 ft, with a 9 second period. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate (545). The wind is a light, cross-offshore breeze from the WSW, which will keep it clean. This is the first real standout of the period. The afternoon sees the size drop to 5 ft and the wind goes cross-onshore, turning it choppy.
Friday, July 31st morning is the best of the first week. The south swell is a solid 7 ft, still with a 10 second period, and the combined energy is strong (872). Wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW, which will keep the faces clean. This is a powerful, punchy wave for experienced surfers. The afternoon will get messy with a cross-onshore breeze.
Saturday, August 1st morning has a 5 ft SSE swell and a light, cross-offshore wind. The energy is moderate (421). It’s a good, clean option, but not as powerful as the day before.
Sunday, August 2nd morning is another good call. The swell holds at 5 ft from the SSE, but the period stretches to 11 seconds, giving it more shape and energy (503). The wind is light and offshore from the NNW. This is a classic, clean, long-period groundswell that will work beautifully on this reef.
The waves drop off into Monday and Tuesday, with small, ordinary surf, before the next standout.
Thursday, August 6th is the big one. The morning swell hits 7 ft from the south, with a 10 second period, and the energy is very strong (985). The wind is a light offshore from the WNW. The afternoon is a monster: 10 ft, an 11 second period, and a massive 3417 combined energy. The wind goes glassy, with a slight air. This is big, powerful, expert-only surf. A true standout, but only for those who know what they're doing.
Friday, August 7th morning holds at 7 ft with a clean cross-offshore breeze, but the afternoon looks iffy with onshore winds and clouds.
The second week has a few smaller windows. Saturday, August 8th morning is clean with a 5 ft SSE swell and a light breeze, but the afternoon brings rain showers and a cross-onshore wind. Wednesday, August 12th morning offers a 3 ft SE swell with a clean offshore breeze, and Thursday, August 13th morning is similar with a 4 ft swell and a light offshore wind. These are fun, but nothing compared to the earlier week.
The long-range standouts are promising, but a lot less certain. The bigger swells later in the second week are a "keep an eye on it" situation.

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.
