The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for The Wash Right. This is a reef setup that’s fairly consistent, and it likes a south swell. The water’s sitting at a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, 88°F, with an anomaly of 3°F – so it’s a bit toastier than average, which is nice.
We’ve got a bit of a wait for the first proper session. Thursday morning, the 30th of July, kicks things off with a clean 5ft SSW swell, a period of 14 seconds, and glassy calm conditions. The combined energy is strong at 1042, so there’s some real grunt in the water. This is solidly in the expert zone, but it’s clean and the direction is lining up with what the reef wants. Could be a standout for the experienced crew. The rest of Thursday afternoon gets a bit ordinary with onshore wind.
Friday morning, the 31st of July, drops a little to 4ft from the SSW, still 13 seconds, and glassy again. The energy is moderate at 617. It’s a good option, but the surf is dropping. Friday afternoon and most of the weekend get messy with cross or cross-on winds, and the swell backs off under 3ft. There’s a gap from Saturday afternoon through to Sunday where it’s just not offering much.
Monday morning, the 3rd of August, has a clean 3ft SSW swell with cross-off wind, but it’s small. The energy is low at 350. The real eye-opener comes later in the window. The morning of Friday the 7th of August shows a clean 4ft SSW swell, but with a very long period of 18 seconds. The energy is strong at 974. That’s a groundswell, and for a reef, that’s going to produce some proper, well-shaped waves. The sets will be spaced out, but the quality will be there. That’s the pick of the bunch for the whole outlook.
The morning of Tuesday the 11th of August has a clean 2ft SW swell, again with a long 18-second period, and it’s glassy. The energy is moderate at 587. It’s a smaller day, but that period and glassy conditions will make it fun. The morning of Wednesday the 12th of August is similar, with a clean 4ft SW swell, 16 seconds, and glassy. Energy is moderate at 835. The morning of Friday the 14th of August also has a clean 4ft SW swell, 14 seconds, and glassy. Right up to the end, there are pockets of clean, rideable surf.
The standout is Friday the 7th of August morning. That long-period SSW groundswell and glassy conditions on a reef that loves that direction is going to be special. The Thursday the 30th morning is also a great call for the strong, clean swell. The other mornings are good, but those two are the ones to circle.

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.
