The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, breaking this down in feet and Fahrenheit for the crew that thinks that way.
The next couple of days at The Wash Right are small and clean, but don't sleep on the second half of the run. The real juice kicks in from Friday the 28th of August and runs through the first week of September with a solid groundswell. Water temps are a balmy 89°F, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year.
Wednesday the 26th of August is a morning glass-off with waves around 2-3 ft from the SW on a 15-second period, but the energy is weak. It's surfable, but not worth rushing. Thursday the 27th is better, with glassy conditions and 2-3 ft SSW groundswell. The energy is picking up.
Friday the 28th of August is where it gets good. The swell builds to the 4-5 ft range in the morning from the SSW with a 17-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-off. The combined swell energy is solid. The afternoon goes glassy with 4-5 ft waves and massive energy – a real standout window.
Saturday the 29th of August morning keeps the quality high. 5 ft of SSW swell, a 16-second period, and clean cross-off winds. The energy is very strong. It’s a bit much for beginners, but for everyone else, this is the pick of the weekend. The afternoon gets onshore, so hit it early.
Sunday the 30th through Monday the 31st sees the swell ease, but there's still size around the 4 ft mark. The wind turns tricky with risk of thunderstorms, making it less appealing.
We get a clean-up on Tuesday the 1st of September morning. A 3-4 ft SSW groundswell with glassy cross-off winds and strong energy. A solid smaller-day option. Wednesday the 2nd morning is also glassy with a longer-period 3 ft SW groundswell.
Here's the real standout: Thursday the 3rd of September morning through Saturday the 5th of September morning. Swell holds at 4 ft to 6 ft, all from the SSW/SW, with long periods between 16 and 17 seconds. Wind is either glassy or cross-off, and the swell energy readings are enormous. Friday the 4th of September morning is the peak, with 6 ft SSW swell, 17-second period, glassy conditions, and massive energy. That is powerful, clean, and expert territory. The point break setup will love that long period.
The quality tails off after that. Sunday the 6th of September is okay in the morning but goes downhill. There’s a small glass-off pulse on Tuesday the 8th of September morning with 2 ft SW groundswell (18 seconds). The end of the run on Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th of September delivers one last moment of excellence with glassy conditions and 4-5 ft SW groundswell with strong energy.
Bottom line: dawn patrols on Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th of August, and the mornings of Thursday the 3rd through Saturday the 5th of September are your best bets. The Wash Right can get crowded, especially on weekends, so expect company. Get after it.
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.
