The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid stretch of surf coming up at The Wash Right over the next 16 days, so no big breaks to worry about. This reef break is fairly consistent and exposed to the south-west swell, which is exactly what it wants. The water’s sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nice and tropical.
The action kicks off Friday morning, 11 September. Under some clouds with a glassy easterly breeze at 3 mph, we’ve got a clean 4 ft south-west swell rolling in with a long 15-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 588, and it’s looking very good. This is a standout morning – glassy conditions and a solid groundswell will have the reef working nicely. Crowds are sometimes around here, so you might have company, but it’s worth it.
Saturday morning, 12 September, stays clean with a light cross-off north-west wind at 6 mph. The swell drops slightly to 3 ft, still from the south-west with a 14-second period and moderate energy (562). Another good session, but the real magic is building.
The best of the bunch shapes up for Wednesday morning, 16 September. We’ve got clear skies, glassy conditions with a light north-north-west breeze at 3 mph, and a solid 5 ft south-south-west groundswell with a 16-second period. The combined energy is strong at 1053, and conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers – that’s a standout. This swell is pushing over 8 ft, so it’s one for the experienced crew only. The long period will have the wave energy cranking, but at a reef break like this, it’ll set up beautifully.
Thursday morning, 17 September, is also a ripper – glassy calm with a 4 ft south-south-west swell, 14-second period, and strong energy at 914. Very good conditions again.
There’s a bit of variety through the second week. Monday morning, 21 September, is another cracker: clear skies, glassy, 4 ft south-west groundswell, 17-second period, and strong energy at 1038 – excellent for experienced surfers. Wednesday morning, 23 September, brings clean 4 ft south-west swell with a 15-second period and moderate energy (604). Friday morning, 25 September, has glassy 3 ft south-west swell, shorter 13-second period and lower energy (367), still good.
Overall, the standout mornings are the 16th and the 21st – both glassy, solid groundswell, and excellent quality. Get out there if you can. A few afternoons get choppy or cross-on, so stick to the early sessions.
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.
