The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming down the line for this spot. We’ve got a solid run of surf ahead, but it’s not for everyone.
Right off the bat, Saturday morning the 5th of September is looking like the real standout. The Wash Right is a reef setup, so when it’s on, it’s on. We’re looking at a solid 6ft swell pushing in from the SSW, with a very long 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell, and it’s generating a heap of energy. The wind is glassy from the ESE at just 3 mph, so the surface will be like a mirror. This is excellent surf, but it’s solid—over 5ft—so it’s getting into that territory where it’s best for experienced surfers. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
The swell hangs around through Sunday morning the 6th, still a chunky 5ft from the SSW with a 15-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the E at 3 mph, keeping things clean. A great session for the crew that knows the reef. By Sunday afternoon, the wind swings onshore and the quality drops.
Monday morning the 7th is still a nice option with 4ft of clean, cross-off swell, and the energy is still moderate. The run of clean mornings continues through Tuesday and Wednesday, with small but glassy or clean waves. Thursday morning the 10th has a bit more size again at 4ft, glassy from the NNW, and that’s a very good call.
The second week starts to fade. From the 12th onward, the swell drops below 3ft and the winds get messy. There are a few okay mornings, but nothing that’ll get your heart pumping. The 20th of September, though, that Sunday morning is worth a mention. We’ve got 4ft of SSW swell, an 18-second period, and glassy conditions from the NNE. The energy is back up, and it’s marked as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s almost two weeks out, so keep an eye on it—forecasts can shift, but the potential is there for a ripper.
Overall, the first week has the real juice. The Saturday and Sunday mornings are the best on offer, with the Thursday morning the 10th as a strong backup. If you’re a confident surfer, get on it. It’s a reef, so bring your wits and your wax.
Rusty.
