The Wash Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’re looking at a solid run of surf coming in. The standout period is definitely the second week, but we’ve got some gems scattered through the first week too. The water is running *much warmer than normal* for this time of year, sitting at 89°, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.

The Wash Right is a reef break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the south. It loves a good S or SSW swell, and that’s exactly what we’ve got coming.

Monday the 3rd kicks things off with a small but clean 3ft SSW swell, glassy conditions in the morning, and a light 3 mph ESE breeze. The combined wave energy is moderate at 330. It’s not a big day, but it’s a lovely, clean start.

Wednesday the 5th morning looks neat too – 2ft SW swell, clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze, and a period of 14 seconds giving the waves some shape. Energy is moderate at 242.

Now, Saturday the 8th is where things start to get interesting. We’ve got a 4ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, and the morning is *dead calm* – glassy as a mirror. Combined energy is strong at 810. This is a proper little groundswell, and with the reef setup, it’ll be holding up nicely. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might have a few mates out, but it’s worth it.

Sunday the 9th morning is nearly a carbon copy – 4ft SSW, 14-second period, glassy with a light NE breeze. Energy is 556. Another great morning session.

Then we hit a bit of a lull on Monday the 10th with some stronger wind, but it clears up.

Tuesday the 11th morning is a killer. 3ft SW swell, 18-second period – that’s a long-period groundswell, and the forecast is glassy with a 3 mph SE breeze. Combined energy is strong at 870. This is a reef break, so that long period will wrap in beautifully. A real standout.

Friday the 14th though… this is the one. The morning brings a 4ft SW swell, an 18-second period, and glassy conditions with a 3 mph E breeze. The combined energy is very strong at 1098. This is legitimately excellent surf for experienced surfers. The swell direction is straight from the optimum, the wind is perfect, and the water is warm. This is the best session on offer.

Saturday the 15th morning is also a beauty – 5ft SW swell, 16-second period, glassy with a 3 mph E breeze. Energy is 998. Another very strong session.

Later in the run, Monday the 17th afternoon sees a clean 3ft SSW swell with a 16-second period and a cross-offshore breeze. Energy is 613. A solid, clean option to close out the forecast.

So, the long and short of it: the first week has some clean, small days, but the real standouts are Tuesday the 11th morning and Friday the 14th morning. That Friday is the pick of the whole forecast – mark it in your calendar.

Rusty.
