The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, with a look at what’s on the cards for The Wash Right over the next couple of weeks.
It’s shaping up to be a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some solid, long-period groundswell from the Southwest, but the timing and the wind are going to be everything. The standouts are definitely the Saturday morning session and the Sunday afternoon session a week later.
We kick off proper on Friday, the 14th of August. The morning is clean with a light cross-shore, but the swell is still building. By Friday afternoon, the swell is up to 5ft with a 17-second period from the SW, but it’s a cross-onshore wind. That’s going to put some ripples on the face, so it’s a bit of a wait.
Saturday morning, the 15th of August, is the real gem of this first week. We’re looking at a clean 5ft SW swell with a 16-second period and glassy conditions. That’s a proper groundswell with plenty of energy pushing in, and those super clean conditions are perfect for experienced surfers. This is your best bet.
Saturday afternoon sees a risk of thunderstorms and onshore wind, so that window closes fast. Sunday morning on the 16th is still glassy with a 4ft SW swell, but the energy is dropping. It’s a decent surf, but not the standout.
The following week is a bit of a mixed bag again. We get some glassy, clean mornings on the 18th, 19th, and 20th, but the swell drops to 4ft and then 3ft. The energy is down, so it’s fun but small.
Then it gets a bit ugly. From the 21st through the 22nd, we’ve got strong winds and poor surf quality. The 23rd of August, a Sunday, is interesting. The morning is a bit messy, but then Sunday afternoon really comes alive. The wind goes glassy, and the swell bumps back up to 4ft from the SSW with a 14-second period. The energy jumps, and it’s being called excellent for experienced surfers. That second Sunday afternoon is the other true standout, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.
After that, the swell fades out again. There are a few clean-ish windows on the 24th and 25th, but the waves are small and inconsistent. The 27th and 28th show a slight uptick in size back to 4-4ft, but the winds are not cooperating, mostly cross-on or choppy. The 29th morning looks clean with a cross-offshore wind, but again, the swell is only 4ft.
This is a reef break, so that long-period groundswell is going to be a good thing, giving it shape and power. Just remember, when it’s over 5ft, it’s for the experienced crew. Get on it Saturday morning or that Sunday afternoon a week later for the best shots.
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.
