The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for The Wash Right. This is a reef set-up that's exposed to the south, so it's going to need a solid S or SW pulse to get going, and it looks like we’ve got a run of that coming through.

We’re starting off with a bit of a mixed bag. Thursday the 6th kicks off with a morning of risk of thunderstorms and a light northerly breeze, keeping things clean. Swell is a small 3 ft from the SW with a long 13-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (395). It’s a decent start, though not huge. The afternoon turns poor with a cross-onshore wind and a drop in quality.

Friday the 7th is a write-off, with cross-onshore and cross-shore winds making a mess of the 3 ft SSW swell. The energy is stronger (849 and 733) but the wind just ruins it.

Things start to look up on Saturday morning the 8th. We’ve got glassy conditions with the wind going dead calm from the north, and a 4 ft SSW swell on a 16-second period. The energy is pumping at 876. That’s a really clean, long-period groundswell, perfect for this reef. The period is long, so expect good shape and long lines, but the sets will be a bit more spaced out. This is a standout morning.

Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th have light cross-shore and glassy mornings again, with 4 ft and 3 ft SSW swell. The energy stays solid (609 and 588). Monday morning especially is another glassy gem with a 13-second period. The afternoons are a bit iffy with onshore winds.

Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th mornings are also looking glassy and clean. Tuesday morning has a 3 ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period and energy of 917. This is proper groundswell, and with the reef, it should be lining up beautifully. Wednesday morning has a 3 ft SSW swell and zero wind – dead calm, glassy as it gets.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th of August. The swell jumps up to 5 ft and 5 ft from the SW with periods of 17-18 seconds. The energy is massive – 1553 and 1162. That’s a strong pulse. The morning winds are light and glassy from the ESE. This is getting into the expert zone, especially with the size over 5 ft. It’s going to be powerful, long-period groundswell on a reef. These are the absolute standouts of the whole outlook. If you’re experienced, you do not want to miss these mornings.

The second week settles back down. Sunday the 16th onwards, the swell drops back to 4 ft to 4 ft from the SW. The mornings still have some glassy windows, like on the 19th and 20th, but the energy is lower (472, 382). It’s still fun, clean surf for the smaller boards, but nothing like that big pulse.

Overall, the pattern is promising. There’s a run of good, clean conditions in the first week, and then a proper size event for the pros on the 14th and 15th. The water is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.

So, for the best on offer, I’d be circling Saturday morning the 8th for the clean, punchy, long-period swell, and then absolutely the Friday and Saturday mornings of the 14th and 15th for the big, powerful groundswell in glassy conditions. That’s the real deal.

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.
