The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for The Wash Right.
Right now, it’s not all that clean, but there are a few windows that’ll get the stoke going. This is a reef break that’s fairly consistent and open to the south. Water temp is 88°, running a touch warmer than usual.
Wednesday afternoon starts things off with a risk of thunderstorms, light cross-onshore wind, and surf around 6ft from the south-west with a 11-second period. Energy is pretty strong (1392) but the surface is messy.
Thursday morning, September 3rd, is the real standout. Swell drops a bit to 5ft, but it’s coming from the south-west with a long 18-second period – that’s proper groundswell. Wind is glassy, off-shore from the north-east at just 3 mph. Combined energy sits at 1477. This is excellent for experienced surfers. That long period will make for clean, lined-up waves at the reef, with longer waits between sets.
Friday morning September 4th, you’ve got 6ft from the south-south-west at 16 seconds, but the wind is cross-shore from the east-south-east. Not bad, but not that magic Thursday morning.
The weekend sees surf holding around 5ft to 6ft, with periods dropping to 14-16 seconds. Winds mix between cross-shore and cross-on. Surfable, but nothing special.
Sunday afternoon September 6th gets choppy with a moderate south-easterly breeze at 12 mph, and energy drops under 1000. Monday and Tuesday the swell fades to around 3ft to 4ft, with lower energy.
Tuesday morning September 8th turns glassy – dead calm wind, surf at 3ft from the south-south-west at 13 seconds, energy at 659. Small but clean.
Wednesday afternoon September 9th brings a threat of thunderstorms, but the wind is glassy and the swell picks up to 4ft from the south-west at 17 seconds, energy back up to 1018. Another nice little window for the patient surfer.
The second week is mostly small and clean mornings. September 11th, 12th, and 13th have 3ft to 4ft swell with glassy or near-glass winds, energy in the 400-570 range. Good for a longboard.
Thursday September 17th finishes with a clean note – light off-shore wind from the north-east and north-west, 3ft swell from the south-south-west at 14-15 seconds, energy around 775-818. Tidy.
Best session by far: Thursday morning, September 3rd. That 18-second groundswell with glassy off-shore wind is the top call. Wednesday afternoon, September 9th is the second pick – same long period, clean, and a bit more punch. Both at The Wash Right.
Crowds can show up here sometimes, so get out early if you can.
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.
