The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking over the next couple of weeks at The Wash Right on the reef, exposed to southerly swell. It’s the only good game in town looking at the forecast, and there’s a solid run of clean waves if you dodge the wind shifts.
Water temp is sitting warm at about 88°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so keep the wetsuit light.
We kick off *Friday morning, July 24th* with a small 0.7m SSW groundswell with a super long 24-second period. The energy is moderate (747), and a light easterly cross-off breeze at 3 mph keeps it clean. It’s tiny but that long period will wrap the reef nicely.
The big standout is *Sunday morning, July 26th*. Swell hits 1.6m from the SW, period still long at 18 seconds, offshore wind from the NNE at 3 mph. Clean, glassy lines coming down the reef. Combined energy is strong (1940). This is for experienced surfers only – too much power and size for beginners. Crowds possible.
*Monday morning, July 27th* is just as good. 1.4m SW swell, 16-second period, cross-off wind from the NNW at 6 mph. Energy reads very strong at 2435. Another clean, powerful morning.
*Tuesday morning, July 28th* pushes up to 2.0m from the SSW, period 17 seconds, cross-off wind NW at 6 mph, energy very strong (2557). That’s heavy reef territory – experts only.
*Wednesday morning, July 29th* is a glass-off: 1.8m SSW swell, 16 seconds, dead calm wind. Energy is strong at 2116. The surface will be like a mirror. Afternoon turns stormy.
Into the second week, *Thursday morning July 30th* is glassy with 1.5m swell, and *Saturday morning August 1st* is clean but smaller at 0.9m. Both excellent for the experienced surfer.
From *Monday August 3rd* onward, the swell drops to less than 1m with periods in the 12-14 second range, and energy drops below 400. Mornings stay glassy or near-glass with light east winds. It’s surfable but not exciting.
Second week is quiet and small. No real blank period, just a fade. The real action is all in the last week of July. *Sunday 26th, Monday 27th, and Tuesday 28th* are your absolute standouts. Don’t sleep on those mornings.
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.
