The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range look. We’ve got one spot on the menu for the next couple of weeks, and it’s a reef that knows how to handle a proper south swell. Let’s get into it.
The main event is a solid pulse of SSW groundswell arriving on Tuesday the 28th of July. We’re talking a proper 7ft of swell with a long period of 17 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 2551 – that’s strong stuff. The wind is glassy, dead calm, and the water is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s the standout session. The Wash Right is a reef, and with that long period, it’s going to line up nicely. But listen, this is solid 7ft on a reef; it’s only for experienced surfers. The morning is the call, with the same glassy conditions, though there’s a risk of thunderstorms around. The afternoon holds the same size and another glassy window, but the energy eases slightly to 2274.
Wednesday the 29th sees the swell drop a notch to 6ft, but the wind swings cross-shore, making it a bit lumpy. The energy is still healthy at 1810, but the morning is only marginal. Thursday the 30th, the swell settles further to 5ft, but the morning goes dead calm again – glassy conditions with 5ft of SSW groundswell and a period of 14 seconds. That’s a very clean, rideable wave for the experienced crew, with energy at 1031. The afternoon turns cross-onshore, so don’t bother.
Friday the 31st has a morning glass-off with 4ft of swell, period of 13 seconds, and energy dropping to 547. The waves will be smaller but clean. The first weekend of August is a mix. Saturday the 1st morning is glassy with 3ft, but the afternoon gets blown out by a 12 mph cross-shore wind. Sunday the 2nd cleans up again in the morning with a light offshore breeze, but the swell is small at 2ft.
From Monday the 3rd through to Wednesday the 5th, we’re in a lull. Swell bottoms out at 1ft, and the winds are messy. This is a real quiet spell. Energy levels drop into the double digits (95). It’s a gap of several days with very little to get excited about.
Things start to trickle back in on Thursday the 6th with a morning clean-up, but the swell is still only 2ft. However, by Friday the 7th morning, we get a nice cross-offshore breeze and 2ft of long-period SSW groundswell (17 seconds), energy at 369. It’s small but clean.
The next real highlight, and the one that’s a bit further out, is Saturday the 8th of August. The morning delivers 4ft of clean SSW groundswell, period of 16 seconds, with a light cross-offshore breeze and a combined energy of 753. This is a promising window. Sunday the 9th morning is glassy with 4ft of 14-second swell, energy at 573. That’s another clean, fun session.
The following week has a few more glassy mornings. Monday the 10th has a glassy morning with 3ft, and then the afternoon glass-off produces 4ft of S swell with a 14-second period and energy of 920 – that’s a sneaky good session. Tuesday the 11th morning is dead calm again with 4ft. The standout further out looks like Wednesday the 12th morning, with 4ft of 18-second SW groundswell and energy at 1029, but the wind is cross-shore, so it might not be perfectly clean.
Overall, the real standout is that Tuesday the 28th of July session. The morning glass-off with 7ft of long-period groundswell is the one to circle. The long-range window around Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th of August looks promising, but we’ll have to watch that one as it gets closer.
Rusty out.

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.
