The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for The Wash Right. Things start off slow, but there’s some real quality waiting for you in the second half.
Right now on Saturday, August 1st, it’s a dud. There’s a small 3ft SSW swell, but it’s got a cross wind, and the combined energy is only moderate at 443. The water’s sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Just leave it.
Sunday the 2nd morning looks better. The swell drops to about 2ft from the SSW, but the wind goes glassy from the ESE at only 3 mph. That’s clean, smooth, and the combined energy is moderate at 294. Small but fun. The afternoon turns onshore again, so go early.
Monday the 3rd morning repeats that – 3ft, glassy ENE breeze, combined energy at 342. A nice little session. Afternoon brings thunderstorms and cross-on wind, so skip it.
Tuesday the 4th morning is tiny – 1ft, flat calm. Combined energy is weak at 205. If you’ve got a longboard, maybe. Afternoon is junk again.
Wednesday the 5th morning has clean 2ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period, and glassy ESE wind. Combined energy moderate at 242. Clean little waves.
Thursday the 6th is a bit messy with moderate rain, cross wind, and 3ft swell at 13 seconds. Combined energy climbs to 398, but it’s choppy.
Now, here’s the good stuff. Friday the 7th morning is a standout. The swell hits 3ft from the SSW, period goes to a very long 18 seconds, and the wind is glassy calm from the NE. Combined energy is strong at 864. This is groundswell, and this reef will love that long period – expect clean, lined-up waves.
Saturday the 8th morning keeps it going – 4ft SSW, 16-second period, glassy NNW wind. Combined energy strong at 810. Another beauty.
Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th both deliver good mornings with glassy wind, 3-4ft SSW swell, and periods around 13-14 seconds. Combined energy stays strong in the 500-600 range.
Tuesday the 11th morning is another gem – glassy north wind, 3ft, very long 18-second period, combined energy 794.
Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th are solid with clean 3-3ft SW groundswell and periods of 15-16 seconds. Combined energy in the 400-470 range.
Friday the 14th morning could be the best of the whole run – 4ft from the SW, 18-second period, glassy north wind, combined energy strong at 971. That’s the biggest and cleanest.
The final weekend, Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th mornings, are mixed. Saturday has cross-on wind, but Sunday the 16th morning brings 4ft SW swell with a 15-second period and clean ESE cross-off wind, combined energy 615. A nice way to finish.
Your best bet is the early mornings from August 7th through the 14th. The real standouts are Friday the 7th and Friday the 14th. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, but get out early and you’ll have it good.

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.
