The Lowdown
Alright, looks like we’ve got just the one spot worth watching for the next couple weeks: The Wash Right. It’s a reef break that breaks pretty regularly, so that’s good news.
Right off the bat, Sunday morning August 16th looks clean as a whistle. Glassy conditions, 1.3m of SW groundswell, solid energy at 727. Water temp’s about normal for this time of year. That morning session should be sweet. But don’t hang around too long – Sunday afternoon the wind turns onshore and it goes to mush.
Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th both have clean, cross-off mornings with 1.2m SW swell. A nice little run of good conditions.
Wednesday the 19th drops to 1.0m with cross-on wind, so the quality fades. Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st have glassy mornings with 0.8m SSW swell – small but rideable.
The real standout, and I mean the one to plan for, is Friday August 28th afternoon. That’s showing 1.4m SW swell, clean cross-off wind, and a big 1074 combined energy. This is excellent surf, but it’s for experienced surfers only. The swell direction is right on the money for this reef. Saturday the 29th morning is almost as good, with 1.4m and clean cross-off wind at 1016 energy. These are the days.
Sunday the 30th wraps it up with a glassy 1.2m SSW morning. Nice.
So the takeaway here is the first week has some clean mornings, but the real power comes in the last few days of August. That’s where the magic is. There’s no gap in the forecast – this spot stays active the whole time. But if you want the best waves, you wait for that end-of-month pulse.

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.
