The Lowdown

Righto, let's have a look at what's in store for the next couple of weeks.

We've got a period of solid, clean swell on the horizon, but it's not quite on the cards just yet. The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag, but once we get past the weekend, things really start to cook. The standout here is a reef break that’s exposed to the south, and it’s going to be pumping.

The first real action kicks off on Monday morning, the 20th of July, at The Wash Right. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 88°. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the southwest, with a very long period of 16 seconds, and the wind is glassy out of the east. The energy is strong (1096), and it’s offering excellent conditions for experienced surfers. That long period means the waves will have plenty of power and shape, but it’s a reef, so it’s for the crew who know what they’re doing. The afternoon turns a bit average with a cross-on breeze, so the morning is the go.

Tuesday morning, the 21st, is another cracker. The swell drops a touch to 4ft, still from the southwest, with a 14-second period. The wind is completely calm, leaving it glassy. The energy is moderate (743), and the conditions are set for a very good session. Again, the afternoon gets messy with a cross-on wind.

Wednesday morning, the 22nd, the swell is down to 3ft but the wind is glassy again from the NNW. The energy is still moderate (646), and the surf is clean. Not huge, but a nice little wave.

Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th look a bit more ordinary. The swell drops, and the wind isn't as clean. Friday morning does have a tiny 2ft swell with a very long period of 24 seconds, and it’s glassy, but it’s a small wave for the experienced.

Now, the real highlight starts on Saturday morning, the 25th of July. The swell jumps back up to 4ft from the southwest, with a 20-second period, and it’s glassy. The energy is strong (1159), and conditions are excellent. The afternoon sees a bigger 5ft swell, but the wind goes cross-on, so it’s not as clean.

Sunday the 26th is a ripper. The morning is glassy with a 5ft swell from the southwest, period at 18 seconds, and the energy is strong (1913). This is the best of the best. The afternoon goes cross-on again, but the morning window is absolutely prime for experienced surfers.

The following week has some solid swell, but the wind is a bit more of a gamble. Monday morning the 27th has a 5ft swell with a cross-shore breeze, but it’s not as clean. The standout early in that week is Wednesday morning the 29th. The swell is a solid 6ft from the SSW, period at 15 seconds, and it’s glassy. The energy is strong (1737). That’s a magic morning.

Thursday the 30th also has a glassy morning with a 5ft swell from the SSW, and Friday the 31st has a clean cross-off wind, but the swell drops a bit.

The second week fades out a bit. The swell drops, and the winds get messy. There’s a small window on Monday morning the 3rd of August and Tuesday morning the 4th of August. The 4th has a 6ft swell from the SSW with a 10-second period and glassy conditions, which is a decent way to finish the run.

So, to sum it up: the best windows are the mornings of the 25th, 26th, 29th, and 30th of July. The absolute standout is Sunday the 26th of July. That morning, with the 5ft southwest swell, 18-second period, and glassy conditions, is the one to circle. The Wash Right is going to be clean and pumping. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early.

Keep in mind, the action in the second week is a bit less certain, but the morning of the 4th of August looks promising.

Rusty.

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.
