The Lowdown

Alright, grab your board shorts, 'cause I've been staring at the charts for The Wash Right and there's a bit to get into. It's not going to be a total flop, but you're gonna need some patience this week. The first couple of days are small, real small. We're talking ankle-biters to knee-high slop. Friday the 21st, there's a tad of energy, maybe 3ft on it, but it's that long-period SSW groundswell that just doesn't have the size behind it to make this place fire. It's clean though, glassy early, and that's about all you can ask for right now. The energy is weak, reading 351 in the brackets, so temper your expectations.

Saturday and Sunday will keep the hope alive. Still small, but Saturday afternoon the swell picks up a notch to 3ft and the wind goes glassy. That's when it starts to get a little more interesting. The energy is climbing too, up to 559 and then 811 on Sunday morning. You'll want to be out there Sunday morning when the swell has a touch more push, around 2ft, but the real story is the 18-second period. That's proper long-period groundswell, and for a reef setup like this, that can mean some nice, lined-up walls if the tide's right. But it's small, so don't be expecting any heroics.

The beginning of next week stays in that frustrating zone. Small, inconsistent, and the swell direction swings a bit more westerly. It's not bad, but it's not great. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you're not gonna need a hood or anything, just a decent wetsuit. Your best bet out of the whole early run is Monday afternoon. It's not big, but the wind goes completely dead, the energy ticks up over 600, and you get a clean 3ft of SSW swell with a 16-second period. That combo on this reef can give you some long, peeling rights when it's working.

Now, hold on. Things start to get interesting towards the end of the month. By Friday the 28th, the swell is starting to fill in. We're looking at 4ft in the morning, but the afternoon jumps up with a new swell and the energy reading is strong at 1751. The wind is looking a bit messy, but hold onto your hat for Saturday morning the 29th. That's your standout. The swell has built to a solid 6ft, the wind is dead calm and glassy, and the energy is pumping at 1552. This is when The Wash Right starts showing its teeth. For a more experienced surfer, this is going to be firing. It's a big call, but I'd pick that Saturday morning as the best of the first week. Sunday the 30th will have similar size and still be clean, but Saturday is the pick.

The start of September brings more of the same, with solid, powerful surf. Monday the 31st is a bit of a mix, with a tricky SE wind that might have it a little lumpy. But then the morning sessions on the 1st and 2nd are back to glassy with chest-to-head-high swell. The energy levels are consistently in the four-digit range, meaning there's a lot of water moving. The 3rd and 4th keep the size up, with the 4th looking particularly interesting with a long-period SW swell and an energy reading of 1856, but a lighter morning wind will be key to keep it clean.

The long-range stuff, say the 4th and 5th, is promising, but it's a ways out, so treat it with a bit of caution. There's another push of good energy and a proper SW swell direction that this spot loves; it's just too far out to call it a sure thing.

So, in a nutshell: The early days are for the patient. For the rest of us, keep an eye on Saturday the 29th or the morning of Sunday the 30th. That's your window for some real fun, clean waves as long as the wind stays offshore. And the first few mornings of September are looking mighty fine too.

Keep it salty.

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.
