The Wash Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for The Wash Right. This is a reef setup that’s exposed to the south, and it’s looking like a slow burner with a few moments of absolute magic if you time it right. The water is sitting at 88°, which is a wild 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – you’re basically surfing in a bath.

The first real window kicks off Thursday afternoon, July 9th. It’s not the cleanest start with a cross-shore breeze on a 4ft SSW swell, but the energy is already noticeable (823). The wave period is a fat 15 seconds, so you’ve got proper groundswell moving through, but the wind is a bit messy, so it’s just a warm-up.

The real standout starts to build Friday morning, July 10th. The wind swings around to a light offshore from the NW, and the same 4ft SSW swell (847) is left clean and perfectly lined up. That’s your morning session right there. The energy is moderate, but the 15-second period is going to put some serious shape into those reef waves.

Things go absolutely glassy for Saturday morning, July 11th, and Sunday morning, July 12th. The swell drops just a touch to 4ft from the SSW, but with a 14-second period and zero wind, it’s going to be like a mirror out there. The energy is still solid (650-655), and the only thing that might ruin it is a storm rolling in later. Get it early.

The next big highlight is Monday afternoon, July 13th. A 3ft SSW swell with a 13-second period, glassy conditions, and a sneaky energy reading of 740. That’s a sneaky good session when the tide lines up.

There’s a bit of a lull mid-week, but keep your eye on the morning of Saturday, July 18th. The swell switches to a 4ft WSW pulse with an 11-second period, and it’s dead glass. The energy is moderate (551), but the clean conditions will make it feel way better than the numbers suggest.

Now, the real heavy stuff shows up way out in the forecast. On Wednesday, July 22nd, the swell jumps to 8ft from the SW with a 12-second period, and the energy is through the roof (2034). That’s expert territory only. The wind is light cross-shore, so it’s not perfect, but the power is undeniable.

The top pick of the entire 16-day window, though, is Thursday morning, July 23rd. You’ve got a 5ft W swell, a 12-second period, and glassy conditions with a NNE offshore breeze. The energy is strong (1226), and the forecast says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the one where you clear your schedule. The swell direction is straight out of the west, which is a little off the optimum south, but the power and the clean face will make up for it. Crowds are just "sometimes" here, so you might get a few out, but if you’re first on the reef, you’ll have the pick of the waves.

The run finishes with a nice glassy morning on Friday, July 24th, with a 4ft W swell. It’s a solid way to end the outlook.

Rusty.
