The Lowdown

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks. It’s going to be a bit of a waiting game, but there are some proper windows if you’re keen.

We start off with some small but clean waves at The Wash Right on Sunday afternoon. The water is sitting at a very warm 89°, which is a couple of degrees above what you'd normally expect – not a big deal, just something you'll notice. The swell is a modest 4ft from the southwest with a 14-second period, but the wind is a cross-onshore breeze, so it’s a bit lumpy. Not a total loss, but more of a kick-off.

Monday morning is where it gets better. The swell drops slightly to 4ft, but the wind swings to a cross-offshore and it cleans right up. This is a good window to get out. The energy is moderate (638), and it feels like a proper surf again.

Tuesday morning is the gem of this first stretch. It’s glassy, with a light northwest airflow, and the swell is still a clean 4ft from the south-southwest. This will be the cleanest, most user-friendly surf of the first few days. The period is a touch shorter at 14 seconds, but the lack of wind makes it a joy.

After that, we slide into a bit of a funk. Wednesday and Thursday see the swell fade to around 3ft and then 3ft, and the winds get more cross-shore or even onshore. It’s not terrible, but it's small and a little messy, especially Thursday morning with a risk of thunderstorms. The energy drops off noticeably (down to the low 300s), so it's a quiet period.

Friday and Saturday keep that small, knee-to-waist high vibe. Friday morning is glassy and clean with a 3ft swell, but it’s not exactly firing. Saturday morning looks a bit better with a cross-offshore wind and a slightly more organized 3ft swell (503 energy), but the afternoon blows out with a moderate cross-onshore breeze.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Sunday the 23rd, early, we see a jump in the swell period to 18 seconds. It’s a proper groundswell, even if the height is only 2ft. It’s glassy and clean. This is a sign of things to come. That longer period means more energy and better shape, but at a reef like this, it should be a treat. The next day, Monday the 24th, keeps that glassy, clean theme with another 2ft SW swell, and again Tuesday morning is calm and clean but the swell drops off a little.

Then we have a few more days of small, wind-affected surf. The middle of the week gets a bit messy, but there’s another spike in the period to 18 seconds on Thursday the 27th. It's still small (2ft), but clean in the morning with a cross-offshore wind.

Alright, now for the real standout. You need to keep your eyes on Saturday the 29th. The swell is expected to push up to 5ft from the southwest with a solid 16-second period. The energy jumps into the four-digit club (1091), which is proper. The winds are offshore or cross-offshore and it's clean. This is the best surf of the entire window. It’s not huge, but it’s got power, good direction, and it'll be hollow enough for a good session. This is the one to plan for.

Sunday the 30th sees that swell start to fade, but there will still be some solid 4ft waves in the morning, though onshore winds will roughen it up in the afternoon. The run continues into Monday the 31st with a clean, glassy 4ft morning, but the energy is winding down.

So, there it is. A bit of a slow start, but a proper finish. That Saturday the 29th is the standout. Get on it.

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.
