The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The Wash Right is the only game in town for the next 16 days, and it’s got a bit of a mixed bag for us.
We kick off Saturday morning, 1st August, with some clean 3ft surf. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 88°. The swell is coming from the SSW with a period of 13 seconds, which is a solid groundswell and gives those waves some real grunt. The combined energy is moderate (370). The wind is a light cross-off from the NW, keeping things tidy. This is a good start.
Sunday morning, 2nd August, drops to 2ft and goes glassy with a dead calm wind. The swell direction holds at SSW, period 12 seconds. It’s small but it’ll be perfect for a longboard or a funboard. The energy is moderate (356). This is a real dawn patrol special.
Monday morning, 3rd August, is another glassy session with 3ft from the SSW at 13 seconds (362 energy). The whole morning is clean. Monday afternoon gets even lighter, dropping to 2ft but still glassy with a WSW breeze (213 energy). Small but perfect.
Tuesday morning, 4th August, is glassy again with 2ft from the SSW at 12 seconds (249 energy). The quality is there for the early bird.
Now, there’s a bit of a lull and some messy afternoons through the middle of the week with onshore winds. But hang tight, because Friday morning, 7th August, is a standout. We’ve got 3ft from the SSW with a very long period of 18 seconds. That’s a lot of energy (927) and it’s going to feel powerful. The wind is dead calm, glassy. This is a proper groundswell; it’ll push through nicely, but be aware that a long period like this can make beach breaks a bit wonky. The Wash Right is a reef, so it’ll handle it beautifully.
The next big one hits on Friday morning, 14th August. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the SW at 18 seconds. The combined energy rockets up to 1341 – that’s strong wave energy. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NW. This is excellent surf, but at 5ft it’s moving into the zone where it’s more for the experienced crew. If you’re a beginner, this might be a bit much.
The morning of Saturday, 15th August, holds 4ft from the SW at 16 seconds (956 energy) with light cross-shore wind, but it’s not as clean as the Friday session.
Overall, the best bet is Friday morning, 7th August, for the combination of clean conditions and that long-period groundswell. The absolute standout, however, is Friday morning, 14th August – the biggest swell of the window with clean offshore wind. Keep in mind crowds are possible here sometimes, so get out early.
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.

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.
