The Lowdown
Right, Rusty here. Let's talk about the surf ahead in feet and degrees.
The first real action kicks off Tuesday the 21st of July. The Wash Right is showing a water temp of 88°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so leave the wetsuit at home.
The pick of the early week is Tuesday morning. We have a glassy, clean 4ft swell from the SW with a long 14-second period. The energy is moderate at 745, and with the wind light offshore and no chop, it’s going to look real good. Get on it before the crowds get wind.
Wednesday morning the 22nd is another clean one. No wind, flat calm, and a 3ft SW swell still with that 14-second period. Energy is 504. It’s small but the quality will be there for a smooth session.
Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th get a bit scrappy. Swell drops to 2ft and the wind gets sloppy. Not worth the drive.
Friday the 24th morning has a weirdly long 24-second period, but only 2ft of swell. It’ll be fat and slow but might surprise on a reef like this.
Saturday the 25th morning bumps up to 4ft with a 20-second period, but the cross-shore wind keeps it from being great.
Now, the big standout is Sunday morning the 26th. We have 5ft of SW groundswell with 18-second period, glassy conditions, and strong energy at 1923. This is excellent for experienced surfers. Clean, solid, and proper. That’s the session to aim for.
Monday the 27th afternoon is another cracker, with a glassy 6ft of SW swell and 17-second period. Energy is strong at 2370. That’s going to be a clean, powerful session.
Tuesday the 28th morning hits 7ft, but with moderate cross-shore wind it gets lumpy. That size is pushing expert-only territory with the chop.
From Wednesday the 29th, the swell slowly drops. Thursday morning the 30th is glassy with 5ft of SSW swell, still solid and clean.
There’s a dry spell from Saturday the 1st of August through to the 2nd, with small, messy waves. Not much to chase.
The final few days, Monday the 3rd through Wednesday the 5th, are all small glassy 2-3ft waves, good enough for a longboard but nothing to get excited about.
The two true standouts in this whole window are Tuesday morning the 21st and Sunday morning the 26th. The Sunday session is the better of the two, with size, glass, and proper energy.
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.
