The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks down at The Wash Right. This is a reef break that’s pretty consistent, and it’s exposed to the south swell. The water is sitting at 87°F right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The main event kicks off this Saturday morning, the 5th of September. We’ve got a solid 6ft SSW groundswell with a long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is strong (1713) and the wind is glassy, dead calm. This is a serious setup, but with that size, it’s strictly for experienced surfers. This is the standout of the whole forecast. The swell is a little long in the tooth for a beach break, but this is a reef, so it’ll handle it beautifully.
The rest of the first week looks good, too. Sunday morning, the 6th, is glassy with a 5ft SSW swell, and Monday morning is clean with a 4ft swell. The energy drops through the week, but the wind stays light and mostly offshore or glassy, keeping things clean. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th start to get a bit sloppy with cross-onshore winds in the afternoons, but the mornings are still tidy.
After a bit of a lull, the second week brings another promising window. The morning of Wednesday the 16th has glassy conditions and a 4ft SSW swell. The real highlight, though, is Sunday the 20th of September. We’re looking at a clean, cross-offshore wind with a 4ft SW groundswell running at a very long 19 seconds. The combined energy is strong (1101). It’s a stand-out session for the second week, but it’s far out, so don’t lock it in just yet.
Keep in mind, this spot can get crowded sometimes, so get out there early.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
