The Lowdown

Alright, let’s chew the fat on The Wash Right. This is a reef break that’s exposed to the south, and it breaks fairly consistently. The water is sitting at 89°F right now, which is about 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a noticeable difference, you’ll feel it.

The first few days are small. Monday afternoon kicks off with 2ft swell from the SSW, period at 13 seconds, and a light cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate at 200, but it’s a pretty marginal start. Tuesday stays tiny with a 1ft morning and 2ft afternoon, but the wind is messy and the conditions are poor, so leave the board in the car.

Wednesday morning, the 5th of August, looks a little better. The swell is still 2ft from the SW, but the period pushes to 14 seconds, and we get a clean, cross-off wind from the east. The energy is up to 242, and it’s shaping up as good surf conditions – small but clean.

Then Thursday morning the 6th is where it starts to get fun. The swell lifts to 3ft from the SW at 13 seconds, and the wind goes totally glassy – a flat calm from the east. The combined energy jumps to 394, and the conditions are glassy. That’s a real highlight for the small-wave gear.

Friday morning the 7th and Saturday morning the 8th are shaping up to be the best of the first week. Both mornings have the swell sitting around 3ft to 4ft from the SSW, with periods hanging in the 16 to 18-second range – that’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is glassy, and the combined energy is strong, hitting 849 on Friday and 780 on Saturday. Expect very good, clean surf. One thing to keep in mind: with that long period (16-18 seconds), the waves might be a little straight at a beach break, but on a reef it should line up nicely. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

The pattern continues through Sunday morning the 9th with another 4ft glassy morning, and then a bit of a lull hits Monday and Tuesday with some stormy wind and cross-chop, making things marginal.

The real standout, and I mean the standout of the whole 16-day window, is Friday morning the 14th of August. The swell is 4ft from the SSW, period at 18 seconds, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the NW. The combined energy is a massive 1355 – that’s strong wave energy. The conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle on your calendar. Saturday morning the 15th is also excellent, with 5ft from the SW at 16 seconds, glassy wind, and energy at 1077. Both of these mornings are for the crew who know what they’re doing.

After that, the swell backs off into the 4ft range for the 16th and 17th, with mostly clean morning conditions, but nothing that matches that Friday peak.

So, bottom line: This reef has a solid run of surf. The first week offers some small, glassy gems, but the 14th and 15th of August are the real standouts. Don’t sleep on that Friday morning.

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.
