Table - best surf conditions forecast for The Wash Right over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it. We've got a solid run of swell on the cards for The Wash Right, a reef setup that's exposed to the south swell. It's going to be a mixed bag of clean mornings and choppy afternoons, so you gotta pick your moments.
The water is sitting at a very warm 88°F, which is over 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year. It's a bit of a bath out there, but you won't be complaining about the temperature.
The session kicks off on Wednesday afternoon, the 8th of July, but it's a bit of a write-off. The swell is 5ft from the SSW with a very long 16-second period, giving it proper groundswell energy (1255). That's a moderate to strong energy level, but the wind is a light onshore breeze, so it'll be lumpy. Not the one to get excited about.
Thursday morning, the 9th, is where it starts to get good. The swell drops to 4ft from the SSW, still a solid 15-second period, and the wind goes glassy, dead calm. That's the magic window. The energy is still strong (871). This is a standout session for clean, lined-up waves.
Friday morning, the 10th, offers another clean window with a light cross-offshore breeze and the same 4ft SSW swell. The energy is still strong (798). Another good call for a surf.
Saturday morning, the 11th, is a true gem. Glassy conditions again, with a 4ft SSW swell. The combined energy (667) is a bit lower, but the perfect conditions make up for it. This is a top pick.
Sunday and Monday mornings, the 12th and 13th, keep the run of clean surf going with 4ft and 3ft SSW swell, and light cross-offshore winds. The energy is in the moderate range (656 and 654). Consistent, fun waves.
The swell drops to 3ft on Tuesday morning, the 14th, but picks back up nicely on Wednesday morning, the 15th, with a 4ft SSE swell. The period is a short 9 seconds, so it's windswell, but the glassy wind makes it worth a look.
The second half of the forecast gets windy and a bit messy. Thursday the 16th sees the swell bump up to 6ft, but it's blown out by strong cross-shore winds. Friday the 17th has a solid 7ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, and the energy is very strong (1772). However, the wind is a fresh breeze, making it a challenging, expert-only zone. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those days.
Saturday morning, the 18th, is a reprieve. The swell is back to 4ft, the wind is dead calm, and the energy is low (466). Perfect for a clean, easy session.
The final run from Sunday the 19th through to the 23rd shows a clean, steady 3ft to 4ft SW swell with long periods (14-17 seconds). The mornings are the key, with light offshore and glassy winds. The energy is moderate (897 down to 413). A nice, consistent finish to the outlook.
The standout windows are definitely Thursday morning the 9th, Saturday morning the 11th, and the consistent clean mornings from the 19th to the 23rd.
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.
