The Lowdown
Hey, it's Rusty. Let's break down what's coming.
Our main focus is The Wash Right. This reef picks up south swell, and we've got a good pulse of South-Southwest groundswell on the way. Water temp is a balmy 89°, which is a touch warmer than usual.
The clear winner, the session you don't want to miss, is Monday morning, July 27th at The Wash Right. We're talking a clean 5ft SSW swell with a super long 16-second period, and glassy conditions with a light 3 mph ENE breeze. The wave energy is strong at 2448, so there's real power in the water. For a reef break, that long-period juice is going to create some lovely lines. It's 'fairly consistent' but can get 'sometimes' crowded.
That's the highlight, but there are other good windows. Thursday morning, July 30th is another glassy morning with a 5ft SSW swell at 14 seconds and moderate energy (1055). Excellent conditions on tap. Friday morning, July 31st offers a smaller but very clean 4ft SSW swell with absolutely zero wind – dead flat calm. Energy drops to 569, but for a clean, fun reef wave, it’s a solid choice.
After that first week, the swell takes a noticeable dip. Saturday, August 1st gets messy in the afternoon, and we hit a stretch of small, less appealing surf through early August. Friday morning, August 7th looks like a potential return to form – a clean 4ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period and a favorable cross-offshore NNW wind at 6 mph. Energy bounces back to 941. Worth watching, but it's a ways out.
Further down the line, Tuesday morning, August 11th also has some promise with a clean 4ft SSW swell and 14-second period, paired with a cross-offshore ESE breeze. Another one to keep on the radar.
So, the takeaway: nail that first Monday morning, July 27th. After that, expect a lull before we might see another push in the second week. Keep your eyes peeled.
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.
The Wash Right is 93 km (58 miles) from Tecoman. If you plan a holiday in Michoacan, look for hotels and other accommodation in Tecoman. Tecoman has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
