The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up. We’ve got a run of swell on the cards for The Wash Right, but the first few days are a bit of a mixed bag with some stormy weather and onshore winds to deal with. The pattern is a building trend, though, so keep the faith.
The water’s sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – you’ll be in a boardies situation for sure.
The first real glimmer comes Thursday morning, the 6th of August. We’ve got a 3 ft SW swell with a 13-second period and glassy conditions. The combined energy hits 401 (moderate), and it’s going to be clean. Not a stand-out, but a nice little session.
Friday morning the 7th is where it starts to get interesting. A 3 ft SSW swell, 18-second period, and glassy conditions again. The energy is up to 850 (moderate to strong). The long period means the waves will have some real punch, and with that E wind, it’s going to be a beauty. This is one of the better windows.
The real standout, the one you circle on the calendar, is the morning of Friday the 14th of August. Swell jumps to 5 ft from the SW, with a 17-second period. The energy is 1572 (strong). Glassy conditions with a light ENE wind. That’s excellent surf for experienced surfers – the size is getting up there, so it’s not one for the beginners. The Wash Right is a reef, so that long-period groundswell will wrap in nicely.
The morning of Saturday the 15th of August is nearly as good: 5 ft SW swell, 16-second period, glassy conditions. The energy is 1165 (strong). Another excellent session for those who know what they’re doing. The afternoon also holds glassy, so you could get a long day in.
After that, the swell drops a touch, but mornings on the 16th, 17th, and 18th of August still offer glassy conditions with 4 ft to 4 ft SW swell. The quality is very good, but the real magic is in that first stand-out weekend.
A word of warning: The Wash Right can get crowded sometimes, so get in early for the best of it. The long-period swells (over 15 seconds) will be best on this reef setup, giving you long, clean lines.
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.
