The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about The Wash Right.
We’ve got a good run of clean conditions starting right now, but the swell size is on the punchy side. Water temp is 88°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The first standout is Thursday morning, July 30th. The swell is a solid 5 ft from the SSW with a 14-second period—that’s a nice long groundswell—and the wind is glassy. That’s gonna be a proper session with clean faces and plenty of energy. The combined energy is strong at 1042. This is the best of the lot, but it’s over 5 ft, so it’s not for beginners.
Friday morning, July 31st, is also worth a look. Swell drops to 4 ft, still SSW, still a long 13 seconds, and glassy. Combined energy is moderate at 617. Another clean morning.
After that, the swell drops off through the weekend and into early next week. The mornings stay glassy but the swell is under 3 ft. Surfable, but nothing special. Tuesday afternoon, August 4th, has a tiny 2 ft, 12-second swell with glassy conditions, but it’s weak.
The next real standout window is Friday morning, August 7th. Swell is back to 3 ft from the SSW, but the period jumps to 18 seconds—very long period groundswell. Combined energy is a solid 763. That’s going to be a wave that holds up well, but that long period can be a bit straight at beach breaks. Being a reef, it’s a good fit. Glassy conditions too. This one is promising but it’s a week away.
There’s another good-looking morning on August 10th, Monday. Glassy, 3 ft from the SSW, 13 seconds. Clean but not big. Then on August 12th, Wednesday morning, we see 4 ft from the SW, period 17 seconds, and a clean cross-off breeze. That’s a good combo for a punchy, lined-up wave.
Overall, the best bet is Thursday morning, July 30th—clean, strong, and solid. Friday morning, August 7th, is the long-range one to keep an eye on. The rest is a mix of small, clean mornings and afternoons that get choppy.
Rusty.

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