The Wash Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve been watching this one spot for a while, and there’s a real slow burn building. Let’s get into it.

The first week is pretty quiet, but the second week shows some serious promise. We’re looking at The Wash Right, a reef break that’s fairly consistent. The water is a balmy 89°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—tropical feels, honestly.

The first proper surf window kicks off a bit of a wait. The first few days are small, with waves around 2ft to 3ft, and the wind is all over the shop. Tuesday the 14th has a light cross-shore but the swell is weak, and the comment says it’s marginal. Wednesday morning on the 15th is glassy, but still tiny. Thursday and Friday mornings on the 16th and 17th offer glassy conditions with 2ft swell from the SSW, but the energy is weak, so it’s a grovel board session at best.

Things start to wake up on Sunday the 19th. The morning hits with a clean 4ft SW swell, and the period is a nice long 17 seconds. The energy is solid, and the wind is glassy. This is the first real standout. The swell direction is a perfect match for the optimum, and with glassy conditions, it’s going to be clean. This is good for experienced surfers, as the long period will make it a bit more powerful on the reef.

Monday the 20th picks up a little more size, with 4ft SW swell, but the wind switches to a light cross-shore, so it’s not as clean as Sunday. The energy is still solid, but it’s a less ideal setup.

The absolute best of the bunch looks to be Saturday the 25th. The morning is a total dream: 5ft of W swell, a 12-second period, and completely glassy with zero wind. The energy is cranked up. The afternoon gets ruined by a fresh 19 mph cross-on wind and a risk of thunderstorms, so get out early. This is a solid expert-level wave, not one for beginners.

The run continues into the final days. Sunday the 26th morning has a clean 4ft SW groundswell with a 19-second period and a cross-off wind. The energy is strong. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th mornings are also glassy, with 4ft and 5ft SW swells.

Then, the last day in the window, Wednesday the 29th, is a monster. Morning is flat calm, glassy, with a 7ft SSE swell. The period is 13 seconds, and the energy is massive. This is big, powerful, and for experts only. The afternoon sees it jump to 12ft, but the wind goes onshore, so it’ll be a beast.

The only real standout to lock in for the diary is the morning of Sunday the 19th for the first clean push, and definitely the morning of Saturday the 25th for the glassy, clean conditions. The later days, like the 29th, are promising but a long way off, so keep your fingers crossed.

Rusty.
