The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I'm gonna walk you through what the Wash Right has in store.
The water's about 89°F, which is a touch warmer than average for right now, so ditch the fullsuit.
The start of the week is a bit of a scratch. Tuesday and Wednesday have some waist-high southwest swell, but the wind's messy from the side. The energy is moderate, but it's nothing to get excited about. Thursday is more of the same, just tapping away with that groundswell.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. You want to clear your calendar for Friday, August 14th. We've got a beautiful 4ft southwest groundswell with a very long 18-second period, and it's glassy in the morning. The energy is strong. That's going to be clean, lined-up, and perfect for the experienced crew. Saturday morning, the 15th, is a repeat – 5ft, glassy, and pumping. The swell is locked in. This is the standout window.
Sunday the 16th drops to 4ft, but it's glassy in the morning with that long-period groundswell, making for a fun paddle. Things get sloppy again from Monday through to Thursday the 20th. There's a small clean-up on Thursday the 20th morning with a cross-offshore breeze, but nothing special.
We get another glimpse of the good stuff early Tuesday the 18th with a glassy 4ft swell, and again on Wednesday the 19th morning with a glassy 4ft swell. Nice windows, but not as big.
Then we've got a few quiet days. Nothing huge on offer, just small waves.
The real wildcard is Monday, August 24th. We've got a big 8ft south swell, but it's slamming in with a 30 km/h cross-onshore wind. The energy is massive, but the conditions look poor. That's big, lumpy mess; it looks more interesting for the kite surfers. Tuesday the 25th drops to a chunky 6ft with better wind, but it's still a handful.
The last window is Wednesday, August 26th. A glassy 4ft morning with that sweet south groundswell, and strong energy. It's set to be excellent for the experienced crowd again. We're a long way out on that one, so take it with a grain of salt.
For the absolute best in the window: Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th mornings. Don't miss 'em.

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.
