The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for the Wash Right. We’ve got a solid run of surf ahead, kicking off right now and lasting through the first week, then it fades into a real quiet spell.
The action starts Sunday, July 26th, with a sizeable groundswell rolling in. Swell comes from the SSW, pushing around 5ft to 5ft, and the period is a long 18 seconds. That’s proper energy – the combined swell energy is 2138 (moderate), so there’s plenty of push. The water temp is a toasty 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The wind on Sunday morning is a light cross-shore from the ESE, so it’s clean enough. But the tide and conditions are a bit questionable, so it’s not the best day to paddle out. The afternoon turns onshore from the SSW, making it even less appealing.
Now, Monday the 27th is where it starts to get good. The swell drops a touch to 5ft in the morning, but the period is still a very long 16 seconds, and the wind goes glassy from the NNE. That’s a major positive – clean, glassy conditions on a long-period groundswell. The combined energy is 2448 (moderate). The break is a reef, so that long period will wrap in nicely. The afternoon stays glassy with a WSW wind and the swell bumps up to 6ft. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have to share, but it’s worth it.
Tuesday the 28th is the standout of the whole run. Morning sees 7ft of SSW groundswell with a 17-second period, and it’s glassy from the NW. The combined energy hits 2508 (moderate). This is the biggest, cleanest, and most powerful swell of the period. The only caveat is that 7ft on a reef with that kind of period is expert territory – if you’re not confident, sit this one out. The afternoon gets messy with a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-shore wind, so get your session in early.
The rest of the week holds on. Wednesday the 29th has clean glassy conditions again in the afternoon with 6ft swell. Thursday the 30th drops a bit to 5ft, but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s still surfable. The quality slowly fades through into the weekend. By Friday the 31st, the swell is down to 4ft, glassy in the morning, but the energy is dropping.
Then we hit a gap. From Saturday, August 1st, through to Wednesday, August 6th, the swell drops to under 3ft. The energy numbers tumble into the low hundreds. It’s a real quiet spell, and the conditions are a mixed bag of onshore and cross-shore wind. Not worth rushing out for.
The second week looks promising again from Thursday, August 7th. A new SSW groundswell arrives, with 3ft to 4ft at a 16 to 18-second period. The combined energy climbs back to 813 (moderate). The winds are light cross-shore, so it’s clean enough. Then Sunday, August 9th, is another cracker: glassy all morning with 4ft of long-period groundswell. The energy is 545 (moderate), and the conditions are “very good.” That’s a long-range call, so it’s promising but not locked in yet.
Bottom line: Monday the 27th through Tuesday the 28th is your best window. If you’re an experienced surfer, that Tuesday morning glassy 7ft is the one to aim for. After that, keep an eye on Sunday, August 9th.
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.

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.
