The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board, let’s see what the next couple of weeks are looking like at The Wash Right. We’ve got a sweet run of SW groundswell lining up, and this reef setup loves that direction. The water is sitting at a toasty 89°, feeling a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus. The first real green light doesn't come until Friday morning, so you can sit the early part of the week out.
Friday the 14th is our first standout. The early session is looking like the one to aim for. We’re talking a clean 4ft of swell from the SW, with a very long 18-second period pushing in. That's proper groundswell, full of energy (wave energy at 1261). Winds are glassy and light from the ESE – that’s going to leave the surface like a mirror. This is excellent for experienced surfers; that long period will wrap in nicely on the reef. The swell pushes up a touch in the afternoon to 5ft, but it gets a little cross-onshore, so stick to the morning.
Saturday the 15th looks even cleaner for a dawn session. The wind is dead calm, absolutely glassy. Swell holds at a solid 5ft from the SW, with a 16-second period and the energy is strong at 1280. The crowds here can happen sometimes, but on a day like this, it’s first dibs for the early birds. This is the top pick of the whole window – just epic conditions.
Sunday the 16th morning keeps the good run going with glassy conditions and a dropping 4ft swell from the SW. That 14-second period is still quality, making for a very good session. The energy is moderate at 723. By the afternoon, the wind picks up and messes it up a bit.
We get a bit of a mixed bag through the middle of the next week. Monday the 17th looks average with a cross-shore breeze and a bit of a chop. Tuesday the 18th morning is worth a look though – we get another glassy window with 4ft at 15 seconds from the SSW. Expect very good surf then.
Fast forward to the long-range, and things start to look interesting again. Sunday the 23rd has a promising morning. We’re looking at 2ft of swell, but check out that period – a very long 18 seconds from the SW. Glassy, light winds from the ESE. The energy is moderate to strong at 582. This one is promising but we're a week and a half out, so don't set your alarm just yet. The morning of the 27th also stands out on paper, with another glassy call and a 4ft SW swell at 15 seconds.
Overall, we've got a few gaps in the first few days with no real recommendations. But once it turns on Friday, it fires. The Saturday the 15th morning is your absolute best bet – get in the water.

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.
