The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer over the next couple of weeks.

So, the surf story for this stretch starts out small and clean, but there's a serious pulse building for the end of the run that could be something special. The water is sitting at a balmy 89°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

We kick off Tuesday afternoon, the 18th, but honestly, it's a bit of a write-off. There's a 4ft SSW swell running, but with a cross wind and a marginal forecast, it's not worth paddling out for. Let's skip that.

Wednesday morning the 19th is where things get interesting. The swell has settled to 3ft from the SSW, period 14 seconds, and the wind has gone glassy with an ESE breeze at just 3 mph. That's pure clean conditions. The combined wave energy is moderate (484). It's a small day, but if you want a longboard or a funboard and just want to get wet, that morning window is the pick of the early week. The Wash Right can get a few people, but with these conditions it should be a good, mellow session.

Thursday and Friday look pretty average with onshore or cross winds, so don't bother.

Saturday morning the 22nd offers another small, clean window. Glassy conditions again with an ENE breeze at 3 mph and a 3ft SSW swell (period 13 seconds). Combined energy is moderate (476). It's a similar vibe to Wednesday – small, clean, and cruisy.

Sunday morning the 23rd is the first real standout of the period. The swell drops to 2ft, but the period jumps to a very long 18 seconds from the SW. The combined energy jumps to 843, which is moderate to strong. It’s dead calm with glassy conditions. This is a groundswell, and at The Wash Right, a reef break, that long period will wrap in beautifully, offering clean, lined-up waves. This is a genuine call to be out there.

Monday morning the 24th is similar: 2ft SW swell, 17-second period, combined energy at 574, and glassy with a light NW breeze. Another really good, clean morning for a reef break that will love that long period.

Now, hold onto your board shorts. The real juice arrives on Friday the 28th. The swell jumps to 4ft from the SSW, period 17 seconds, and the combined energy cranks up to 1120 – that's strong energy. It's dead calm, glassy. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. By Friday afternoon, it pushes to 5ft, but the wind goes cross, so the morning is the absolute target.

Saturday the 29th is a beast. The morning sees a 6ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and a massive combined energy of 1610. The wind is glassy from the ENE at just 3 mph. That is a serious swell at a powerful reef break. The waves are going to be pumping and clean. This is not for beginners – at over 5ft and heading to nearly 7ft, it's expert territory. The direction (SSW) is a touch off the optimum S, but with this much energy and a reef to focus it, it's going to be world-class.

After that, the surf hangs around the 4ft to 5ft mark through to Monday the 1st of September, but the winds get messier, and the periods drop. Wednesday the 2nd of September has a 6ft swell but with a short 9-second period and a strong, lumpy cross breeze – that's a choppy, blown-out mess, likely more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

So, your standouts: Sunday morning the 23rd for the quality of the long-period groundswell in glassy conditions, and Saturday morning the 29th for the serious size and power. If you only get one session, make it the 29th.

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.

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.
