The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's brewing.
Right off the bat, we've got a bit of a slow start, but don't let that fool you. The first real session to get excited about is on Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July. The Wash Right is looking at a clean 3ft swell from the southwest, and the wind is dead calm – glassy as it gets. For a reef break like this, that's a dream scenario. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 88°, so you're in for a pleasant paddle. The swell energy is moderate (504), and while it's not huge, that glassy surface will make it feel like a million bucks.
After that, things chop up a bit in the afternoons, but hold on to your board for Tuesday the 28th of July. The morning session is a standout. We're looking at a solid 7ft groundswell from the SSW, with a very long period of 17 seconds. That's real energy (2691), and with glassy conditions, this is going to be a proper, powerful wave. It's in the expert-only zone, though, so if you're not dialed in, this one will chew you up. The reef setup will handle that long period perfectly, giving you some proper pits.
The run of good dawn patrols continues. Wednesday, the 29th, and Thursday, the 30th, both have clean 6ft and 5ft swells from the SSW with glassy or clean-offshore winds. The water temp anomaly is only mentioned for the first break, but it's a good sign of what to expect overall.
After that, the swell fades into the first week of August. The 31st and 1st of August have some clean, small waves for the weekend warrior, but nothing to write home about. By the 2nd, it gets pretty weak, and there's a few days of small, poor-quality surf. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th of August have morning windows with clean, small, 2ft to 2ft SW swells. It's not the big stuff, but if you're desperate for a glide, the conditions will be clean.
The real highlight is definitely that Tuesday the 28th morning. Get it while it's hot.

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.
