The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of swell headed our way at The Wash Right. This reef setup is primed to handle the SSW groundswell that’s coming in, and with that 13-20 second period, the energy is going to be proper. The water is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.
The first real standout fires up on Monday the 7th afternoon. Swell is 4ft from the SSW, with a 13-second period, and the wind is dead calm – glassy as can be. The combined energy is moderate at 695, and it’s going to be clean. Get out there.
Tuesday morning the 8th is still clean, with a light 3ft SSW swell and glassy conditions, but the real highlight rolls in on Thursday the 10th morning. You’re looking at a 4ft SSW swell, offshore wind from the NE, and the combined energy ramps up to 902. The water is still that touch warmer, and the waves will have good shape. This is one of the best windows.
Friday the 11th morning is another pure glass-off. 4ft of SSW swell, zero wind, and the energy is solid at 593. It’s all about the early sessions this week.
Looking further out, the 15th of September Tuesday morning is a gem. 4ft SSW swell, glassy, with combined energy at 780. Long-period groundswell here at 17 seconds, so expect longer lulls but better shaped waves. It’s a reef break, so that long period will work in your favour.
The real standout of the whole run, though, lands on Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st. Sunday morning brings 4ft SW swell with a 19-second period, glassy wind, and the combined energy jumps to 1221 – that’s strong wave energy. Monday the 21st morning is even better: 4ft SW swell, 17-second period, dead calm, and energy at 1224. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The long period means the reef will handle it beautifully, but it’ll be a bit much for beginners. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so get in early.
The Wash Right is fairly consistent, and the wind windows are lining up. The SSW direction is right in the sweet spot for this spot. The only thing to watch is the occasional cross-onshore afternoon breeze, but the mornings are pure gold.
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.
