The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s look at The Wash Right.
We’re in a slow patch to start. The first few days aren’t giving us much to work with – small waves and the wind is all wrong. The real juice doesn’t show up until the morning of July 20th. That’s a bit of a dry spell, but trust me, it gets good after that.
For the next week or so, don’t get your hopes up for a proper session. The Wash Right is a reef, and it breaks fairly consistently, but the swell is weak and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, making it a bit of a mess. The morning of the 17th goes glassy with a tiny 0.7m SSW swell, but there’s no power. You’re waiting till the 20th for the real deal.
The big standout is the morning of July 20th. We’ve got a clean 1.7m SSW swell with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. The energy is strong at 1390 (moderate wave energy), and this is for the experienced crew only. The reef will hold it, but it’s too big for anyone not solid.
Then, the morning of July 21st is another cracker. Glassy conditions with a solid 1.6m swell from the SW, and again, the energy is strong at 1282. That long 13-second period is proper groundswell, and on a reef, that’s going to give you some long, well-shaped lines.
The morning of July 24th is also a beauty. Glassy with a 1.6m swell from the W and energy at 1301. Another top pick for the experienced surfers.
The morning of July 26th is a good, smaller option too. Glassy start with a 1.1m SW groundswell and strong energy at 1300. That’s more manageable and might be less crowded.
Water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on.
So, the first week is a bit of a non-event. But once we hit July 20th and 21st, it’s time to clear the schedule. Those are your best bets.

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.
