The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the only game in town for the next sixteen days: The Wash Right. It’s a reef setup, so we’re dealing with a wave that needs a bit of respect, especially when it gets some size.
We kick off with a stormy start on Wednesday the 29th of July. Pretty solid groundswell rolling in from the south-southwest, pushing about 6ft. The period is a massive 16 seconds, so it’s packing some serious energy. This is a big, powerful wave for the experienced crew only. The morning is the window, with glassy conditions and a thunderstorm risk that might keep the crowd down. Afternoon turns into a cross-onshore mess, so don’t bother.
The best morning of the early run is hands down Thursday the 30th. It’s clean, the swell is still a solid 5ft from the SSW, and the period is a long 14 seconds. The energy is still strong. The wind is a light easterly, making it glassy. This is a standout for experienced surfers, and you’ll have the place to yourself for a Friday morning session on the 31st. The swell drops a touch to about 4ft, but it’s glassy with a calm wind, making for a really clean, fun wave.
We hit a flat spell after that. The waves get smaller and the afternoons get blown out. Saturday the 1st of August might give you a knee-high glassy wave in the morning, but it’s not worth the trip. A whole week of small, tricky conditions follows, with the odd morning offering a clean 2ft to 3ft wave. It’s a real waiting game.
Things start to look up around the 8th of August. That Saturday morning, the swell starts picking up again to about 4ft from the SSW with a 16-second period. The energy is building back up, and the winds are glassy. This is a promising sign. By Monday the 10th of August, the morning is looking excellent with a clean 3ft wave and a 13-second period from the SSW. The energy is bouncing back.
Then, we get a proper late-season pulse. Tuesday the 11th of August morning is a standout. The swell is about 3ft from the SW, but the period is a massive 18 seconds. That’s very long-period groundswell, and on a reef like The Wash Right, it’s going to produce some beautiful, lined-up waves. The energy is strong and the wind is a light offshore. Wednesday the 12th of August keeps that promise with a clean 3ft to 4ft SW swell, again with a 17-to-16-second period and glassy conditions. This is the best run of the whole forecast. These are the days to plan for if you can.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
If I had to pick the one true standout, it’s the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August. That long-period SW groundswell on a glassy reef is a rare treat. The morning of the 30th of July is a close second for the size and clean conditions. The long-range stuff from the 11th and 12th of August is promising, but keep an eye on it.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
