The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
The Wash Right is the only spot on the table, and it’s a reef setup that’s exposed to the south. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming, but it’s not for the faint of heart. The first proper swell kicks in from Friday morning, July 24th, with a clean 2ft SW swell. The period is a crazy long 24 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, and for a reef, that’s going to mean some beautifully shaped, powerful lines with long lulls between sets. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The real standout, the one you want to circle, is Monday morning, July 27th. We’ve got a 7ft SSW swell, and the wind goes glassy out of the SE. That’s about as good as it gets – clean, powerful, and pumping. The combined swell energy is strong at 2969, so expect some serious juice. This is expert territory though, over 8ft is the threshold, and at 7ft, it’s still a heavy wave for the experienced crew only. The Wash Right is a reef, so that long-period groundswell will be peeling off beautifully.
Tuesday morning, July 28th, is another cracker. Still a solid 7ft SSW swell, glassy conditions with a calm wind from the WNW. Another top-tier session for the strong surfers. The combined energy is still very strong at 2709.
After that, the swell slowly drops through the rest of the week, but conditions stay clean with light offshore or glassy winds on most mornings. The end of July and start of August sees the swell dip below 3ft, but there are still some clean, glassy mornings with small but rideable waves for the logging or longboarding crew, like on the morning of August 1st with 3ft SSW swell and glass.
The run from August 3rd onwards gets a bit patchy – mostly small, with a few clean mornings but not much power. The energy drops to moderate levels (under 400). Still, a few clean windows on August 6th and 7th mornings with glassy to light offshore winds could be worth a paddle if you’re desperate.
Rusty out.

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.
