The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got cooking at The Wash Right over the next couple of weeks. It’s a reef break up on this coast, exposed to a south swell, and right now the water is sitting about 89°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – you’ll be in boardies or a spring suit, that’s for sure.

We kick things off with a bit of a slow start, but we’re straight into action on Tuesday the 11th of August. That morning, you’ve got a clean 4ft SW groundswell rolling in with a long, juicy 18-second period. The wind’s a light easterly, basically glassy, and the combined wave energy is solid at 1138 – plenty of punch. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, not a beginner wave at that size with all that power. The afternoon turns a bit cross-on and drops off in quality, so get it done early.

Wednesday the 12th is a write-off as a storm risk pushes the wind cross-shore, and the swell period drops – it’s a struggle for shape.

Thursday the 13th stays marginal, swells dropping to 3ft with a cross wind, not worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate.

Then we hit the first real standout: Friday the 14th of August. That morning is pure gold. A clean 4ft SW swell, 18-second period again, glassy wind from the southeast, and the energy is pumping at 1261. It’s going to be lined up and clean, a proper session. The afternoon swell jumps to 5ft but the wind turns cross-on, so stick to the early.

Saturday the 15th is another cracker. A glassy calm morning with a clean 5ft SW swell – this is solid, punchy, and with zero wind, it’ll be smooth as silk. Energy is 1150. That’s the best of the first week right there.

Sunday the 16th starts glassy again with 4ft SW swell – still good, but the period drops to 14 seconds, so less grunt.

We then slide into a bit of a lull. Monday the 17th through to around Thursday the 21st is mostly mixed – the odd clean patch but inconsistent in quality. The morning of Tuesday the 18th is worth a look though: glassy, 4ft, 15-second period – nice and clean for a quiet session.

From the 20th onwards, the swell drops under 3ft, and the wind starts to mess things up. It’s a bit of a waiting game.

But then, hold onto your board. Wednesday the 26th of August brings a proper pulse. That morning, we’re looking at a 5ft SW swell with a 17-second period, glassy wind from the east, and the energy rockets to 1307. This is big and powerful – expert territory. It’s far out, so keep an eye on it.

The Wash Right is a fairly consistent reef, and the crowd can show up sometimes. On those standout mornings, you might not be alone, but the quality will be worth sharing a few waves for.

Given that the swell is over 5ft on the 26th, beginners should give it a miss that day – it’ll be a handful.

When it’s all said and done, the best windows are Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th of August in the mornings, and that Wednesday the 26th looks promising if you’re experienced and patient.

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.
