The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here for the local surf outlook.
Alright, let's talk about The Wash Right. This reef break has a bit of a fun run shaping up over the next couple of weeks, but it's not all full-on action. We've got a slow start, with the first real surf recommendation kicking off on Thursday the 10th, but the water is a balmy 88°, which is a noticeable 4° warmer than normal for this time of year. That's pretty unusual.
The standout run looks set for the mornings. The best of the bunch comes early on Wednesday the 16th. We’re looking at chest-high, 5ft SSW swell with a very long 16 second period, so it’s a proper groundswell, and the wave energy is strong (1024). That’s an excellent setup for experienced surfers, and with glassy conditions, it’ll be clean. The Wash Right can get crowded, so that's something to keep in mind.
After that, the run of good morning windows holds through to Saturday the 20th. On Sunday morning the 20th, we see another strong pulse with 4ft of SW swell and a long 17 second period, packing in excellent energy (1051). Again, glassy conditions will make it a joy. The 21st Monday morning sees a bit more size at 4ft, but the wind is cross-shore, so it won't be quite as clean.
The second week looks a little more unsettled. There is a good morning on the 24th as the swell hangs in at 4ft, SW, and it's glassy, giving some decent shape. Into the final stretch on the 25th, the swell drops to 2ft but the period jumps to a massive 21 seconds from the SW – that’s a long-period groundswell. That will wrap into the reef well, but those sets will be very inconsistent.
Overall, the early mornings from the 16th through the 20th are the real winners here. Glassy, clean surf with solid groundswell. After that, keep an eye on the windows, but it gets a touch more choppy and inconsistent.
Rusty, out.
