The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of surf on the cards at The Wash Right, with the best of it coming from the tail end of the week and into the second week. The water is sitting at 89° right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice bonus for those dawn patrols.
The early part of the window is a bit of a mixed bag. Monday afternoon (August 24th) is a write-off with a storm risk and a messy cross-shore wind, so we’ll let that one slide. Tuesday morning (August 25th) offers a bit of hope though. The swell is small at 2ft from the SW, but the wind is glassy, and the period is a long 16 seconds. It’s a light option, but clean. The real action starts to ramp up from Friday morning (August 28th). A 4ft SW groundswell (17-second period) meets glassy conditions. The combined energy is strong (1103), and it’s clean as a whistle. That’s the day to get wet.
Saturday morning (August 29th) is a standout. The swell jumps to 6ft from the SW, with a 16-second period and glassy conditions. The combined energy is very strong (1633). The offshore wind direction (SE) is perfect for this exposed reef. This is the best of the early run. It’s a bit much for a beginner, but for the experienced crew, it’s going to be special. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
After a bit of a lull with smaller, choppier afternoons, we get a real gem on Thursday morning (September 3rd). The swell is 5ft from the SW, the period is a very long 19 seconds, and the wind is clean. The energy is powerful (1519). This is a groundswell, so expect well-shaped, powerful lines with long waits between sets – perfect for this reef. Another one for the experienced surfer.
Then, the absolute pick of the whole 16-day run: Friday morning (September 4th). Glassy, calm, a 6ft SSW swell with a 17-second period. The combined energy is massive at 1799. It’s clean, powerful, and lined up. This is a serious session, but it’s expert territory at that height. The same goes for Saturday morning (September 5th) – 5ft, glassy, excellent conditions. The following week keeps the quality going with clean, glassy mornings and solid 4ft to 5ft SW swells. The long period swell (15-19 seconds) is best at this point break, so it should handle the size well.
Overall, there’s no real gap in the surf here. The first couple of days are a bit touch-and-go, but from Friday morning onward, it’s consistently good. The standout is that Friday the 4th of September morning – that’s the one to circle on the calendar.
Rusty.
