The Lowdown
Right, let's have a look at what's on offer for The Wash Right over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag here, but there’s definitely some quality on the horizon. The water is sitting at a warm 88°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be leaving the wetsuit at home.
It’s a slow start, but the first real standout is Monday morning, the 20th of July. The swell is a solid 4ft from the SW, with a period of 16 seconds, pushing a moderate wave energy (1096). The real kicker is the wind: it’s glassy. Absolutely dead calm. That’s going to give you some clean, lined-up waves. It’s excellent for experienced surfers, so if you’ve got the skills, that’s your window.
The next morning, Tuesday the 21st, is also worth a look. The swell drops a touch to 4ft SW, but it’s still got a long 15-second period. The wind is a cross-offshore breeze, which will keep the faces clean. It’s not the biggest, but the shape should be there.
We’ve got a bit of a lull mid-week, but then things start to ramp up hard. The big news is the last week of July. Saturday morning, the 25th, sees the swell jump to 4ft, but it’s Sunday the 26th that really gets the heart pumping. The morning session is a beauty: 5ft of SW swell with an 18-second period, and the wind is glassy again. The wave energy is strong (3174). That’s a proper session.
But the real heavyweight, the one you circle in red, is Monday the 27th of July. This is a serious swell event. The afternoon is pumping 13ft from the SSW with a 16-second period. The wave energy is massive (7442). The wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze. This is big, powerful stuff. Over 8ft, so this is experts-only territory. The Wash Right is a reef, so a long period groundswell like this will be running straight and fast. It’s going to be raw and challenging.
The following days will see the swell dropping back, but still big. Thursday the 30th has a nice morning session with 7ft from the W and glassy conditions, still a good wave for experienced surfers.
After that, the surf fades into the beginning of August. The first few days of August are tiny, with poor conditions and strong winds making it a write-off. There’s a whisper of life on Monday the 3rd of August with a tiny 2ft groundswell and glassy conditions, but it’s a long way off and likely just a small clean-up set for a longboard.
So, the standout is the 27th of July for the big wave crew, with the 26th and 20th offering excellent, cleaner, slightly smaller alternatives.

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.
