The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for the Wash Right. We’ve got a long-range outlook that starts off slow and really builds to a solid finish.
Right at the start, the surf is a bit of a slow burner. Friday the 28th morning actually has some decent potential despite the risk of thunderstorms, with a 4ft SSW swell, period easing into 17 seconds, and clean conditions. But by the afternoon, the wind kicks up from the NW, making things marginal. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th morning will see small, messy conditions, but look for Sunday afternoon—on the 30th—when it goes glassy. The swell drops a touch to 4ft from the SSW at 14 seconds, and the water goes glassy. That is the first proper calm window and will feel like a treat. The combined energy is moderate (910).
The real standout, though, shows up on Thursday the 3rd of September. Thursday morning is clean as a whistle. There's 5ft of SW swell with an 18-second period coming from the south-southwest, and the wind is calm and glassy. The combined energy is strong (1433) and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best of the first week. No doubt about it.
Then, hold onto your boards for Friday the 4th of September morning. The swell jumps to 6ft from the SSW, with a period of 16 seconds. The wind is dead calm—zero—and the surface is glassy. The combined energy is very strong (1737). That is serious power for a point or reef, so this is strictly for the crew who know what they’re doing. Still, it’s the biggest, cleanest session of the whole run.
After that peak, the surf trickles down. The following week is quieter, with smaller 4ft to 3ft clean spells on the 7th, 8th, and 9th of September mornings, but the quality drops. There is a final bump on the 10th of September Thursday morning with a 5ft SW swell, 16-second period, and light cross-off winds, so another clean, solid option for those in the know, but by then the consistency has faded.
Overall, the first few days are a bit of a chore, but the clean glassy conditions on the 30th afternoon and those two big days on the 3rd and 4th of September mornings make this window worthwhile for the experienced surfers.
Stay stoked,
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.

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.
