The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about The Wash Right.
The first week holds all the good stuff. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, around 88°, so you won't need a thick suit.
Monday afternoon, August 31st, is a total dud. A weak 3ft SSW swell, a cross-onshore breeze, and combined energy of 482. Leave the board in the car.
Tuesday, September 1st, stays marginal. The morning has a 3ft SSW swell with a light cross wind, and the afternoon bumps to 5ft, but the wind turns onshore. Not worth the drive.
Now, Wednesday morning, September 2nd, things wake up. Swell hits 6ft from the SW with an 11-second period, putting out a strong 1447 energy. The wind is light and cross-off, leaving the surface clean. This is excellent if you've got some experience – over 5ft, so it’s a bit heavy for beginners, but delivering solid, well-shaped waves.
Thursday morning, September 3rd, is a standout. We’ve got a 5ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 18 seconds, and the combined energy is a strong 1477. The wind is glassy – dead calm. This is as clean as it gets. That long period will put real power and shape into the waves, though on a reef break it can make them pitch and stand up, keeping you on your toes. Perfect conditions.
Friday morning, September 4th, is another absolute gem. A 6ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, massive energy at 1941 – that's the biggest punch of the whole run. Glassy wind again. This is world-class for experienced surfers. This is the one to aim for.
From Friday afternoon, conditions get rougher as the onshore wind picks up, and the swell slowly fades through the weekend. Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th mornings still have some decent 5ft and 5ft swell, but the winds are cross or side-onshore, making it bumpy.
By Monday September 7th, the swell drops below 4ft and stays there. The second week, from September 8th through the 15th, the swell is mostly under 3ft. A few mornings offer clean, glassy conditions on tiny 3ft to 4ft SW swells, with low energy around 300-650. You’ll see some long-period groundswell (16-18 seconds) on the 9th, 10th, and 14th mornings, which might wrap nicely around the reef, but the size just isn't there. After Friday the 5th, you’re looking at over a week of flat to small conditions.
For the *best* session: Get on Thursday morning, September 3rd for the glassy, long-period SW groundswell. The real standout, though, is Friday morning, September 4th – that 6ft SSW swell with glassy wind is the pick of the entire 16 days.
Keep in mind: This is a reef, and crowds are sometimes an issue, so get there early. The swell direction is coming from the SSW and SW, which lines up perfectly with the optimum S direction for this spot.

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.
