The Lowdown
How's it goin', it's Rusty here. Let's get into it. The Wash Right is your only show in town for this 16-day stretch, and it's got some serious pulse. We're looking at a real solid run of groundswell, but you've gotta pick your moments with the wind.
The action starts Thursday, the 23rd of July. The morning is a beauty – clear sky, glassy as with that 2.3ft SW groundswell rolling in at a nice 13 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 335, but the conditions are pristine. This is a fun, clean little session. The afternoon turns messy with a cross-on southerly, so don't bother.
Friday, the 24th, the swell starts to get some real juice. The morning wakes up with a risk of thunderstorms, but the wind is a clean cross-off from the east. That 2.3ft swell has a very long period of 24 seconds, boosting the energy to 726. This is a proper groundswell pulse, and the clean conditions mean you'll be trading off some long lulls for some proper, well-shaped waves. The Wash Right is a reef, so it handles that long period beautifully. The afternoon gets a bit mixed up with the cross-on breeze.
Now, Saturday the 25th through to Tuesday the 28th is where the real weight comes in. Saturday morning is a bit of a gamble with a cross wind and 3.9ft swell, but it's building. Sunday morning the 26th is a standout. We've got a solid 5.2ft SW groundswell (energy now a strong 2337) and the wind is back to glassy. The report says it's excellent for experienced surfers, and that's the truth. This is a quality wave, but at this size, it's not for the beginners. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
Monday the 27th morning is still clean with a cross-off wind and a decent 4.6ft swell, but Tuesday morning the 28th is the absolute peak energy. 6.6ft of SSW groundswell, glassy conditions, and the energy is pumping at 2565. This is a powerful, bowling wave for experts only. If you've got the skills, that's the session of the forecast. The afternoons all fall apart with onshore winds, so stick to early.
The swell starts to wind down after that. Thursday the 30th morning is another glassy session with a 4.9ft swell, still excellent for experienced surfers. Friday the 31st is a fun smaller day with 3.6ft and glassy conditions. The first week of August sees it drop right off. There's a few mornings around the 4th and 5th with tiny 1.3ft to 2.0ft waist-high swell and glassy conditions, but it's small. The real standout is the very end of the forecast: Friday morning, the 7th of August, with a 4.6ft S swell and glassy conditions. That's a nice comeback to keep an eye on, but it's a long way out.
Overall, the best bets are the glassy mornings from the 24th through the 30th, with Tuesday the 28th being the absolute biggest, cleanest, and most powerful. Get it while it's good.
