Table - best surf conditions forecast for Newport Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty again. Let's keep it real for the Newport Beach crew. We're in for a long, flat, and frustrated couple of weeks.
From the jump, Saturday July 11th, it's dead. Swell is tiny, around 2 to 3 feet from the SSW, but the wind is ruining everything. It's cross-onshore or onshore day after day, turning any ripple into chop. The wave energy is weak (351), and it's just "poor surf conditions" written all over it. There's a massive gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
Even when we get a slight bump on Saturday July 18th, with the swell hitting about 3 feet from the SSE and the energy climbing (1015), it's still a "marginal" call. The onshore wind just won't give us a break.
The one glimmer in this whole sorry forecast is Saturday July 25th. We get a south swell pushing 3 to 4 feet, and the combined energy gets into the moderate zone (884). The period is a decent 13-14 seconds, giving it some grunt. But again, the onshore flow is there, so it'll be lumpy. It's the least bad day of the lot, but for most of us, it's still going to be a session of closeouts and windslop. This whole window looks better for a kite than a surfboard.
Don't get your hopes up.

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