The Wash Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The Wash Right is the only spot worth talking about for this whole stretch, and to be honest, it’s a bit of a slow start. The next few days are pretty gutless. We’ve got some knee-high slop on Tuesday afternoon, with light winds, but the swell energy is weak at 206. It’s just not doing anything. Wednesday looks even more ordinary, with a bit of cross-shore chop and a threat of storms. You’d be paddling for nothing.

The first real sign of life shows up Thursday morning. The swell bumps to 3ft from the SW with a 13-second period, and the wind is dead glass. That combination makes it worth a look, even if the energy is still only moderate at 395. It’s clean, but small. Friday morning is where things start to get interesting. The swell pushes to 3ft, the period stretches out to 18 seconds, and we get a clean offshore breeze. The energy jumps to 865, and it’s looking like the first proper session of the week. This is a reef break, and that long-period SW groundswell will be wrapping in nicely.

The weekend stays rideable. Saturday morning has 4ft with a cross-off breeze, keeping it clean. Sunday is a bit more mixed, with morning cross-shore winds and the swell starting to ease slightly. By Monday morning, we’re back to clean conditions with 3ft and a 13-second period, but it’s not as punchy.

Now, looking further out, there’s a standout. The morning of Thursday the 14th is the pick of the entire forecast. The swell jumps to 4ft, the period is 18 seconds, and it’s dead calm with glassy conditions. The combined energy hits 1251, which is strong. This is proper reef-break surf, with the SW direction lining up perfectly. It’s an excellent window for experienced surfers. The following morning, Friday the 15th, is also very good – 5ft of clean, glassy swell with similar energy at 1103. That’s another one to circle on the calendar.

The weekend after that holds up, but the wind gets a bit more onshore in the afternoons. The mornings of Sunday the 16th and Wednesday the 19th both have clean, glassy conditions with around 3-4ft of swell. It’s not as big, but it’s clean and fun.

One thing to note: the water temp is running hot, sitting at 89°, which is more than 4° warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s a noticeable difference, so you might not need a spring suit at all.

So, the short version: the first few days are a write-off. Get on it Friday morning for the first real push, but the standout windows are Thursday the 14th and Friday the 15th in the mornings – that’s where you’ll find the best, cleanest waves. The Wash Right is fairly consistent, so it tends to deliver when the swell fills in. Just keep an eye on those afternoon sea breezes.
