The Lowdown
Alright, let's look at what's on the cards for The Wash Right. This reef break is exposed to the south swell and is fairly consistent, so we've got some action coming.
We start off on Monday the 27th of July with a solid swell running, 1.7m from the SSW and a very long 17-second period. The combined energy is strong at 2280, but the wind is a light cross-on from the SW, so it's not perfectly clean. Water temp is a touch warmer than average at 31°.
Tuesday the 28th of July is the real highlight for the early part. The morning session is the one to hit. The swell has built to 2.0m, still from the SSW, with a 17-second period, giving it heaps of power (combined energy of 2551). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW at only 5 km/h, so it will be clean. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – that size is a bit much for beginners, but for anyone with some skill, it's going to be pumping. The afternoon gets a bit messy with the wind shifting.
Wednesday the 29th of July drops off a little to 1.8m, but the period holds at 16 seconds. The morning is rideable but the cross-shore wind from the ESE will put a bit of texture on the face. The afternoon turns choppy.
Thursday the 30th of July is the pick of the first week. The morning is glassy, absolutely flat calm, with a clean 1.5m swell from the SSW. The period is still a solid 14 seconds, and the combined energy is 1089. Get out there early for the best of it.
The swell fades from Friday the 31st of July through the weekend, dropping to around 1.1m and then 0.9m. Saturday and Sunday mornings are glassy or near-glass, but it's small. Good for a longboard.
There's a real lull from the 4th of August through to the 6th, where the swell drops to tiny 0.4m - 0.6m waves. Not much going on.
Things perk up again on Friday the 7th of August. The swell pushes back up to 1.0m from the SSW with a 17-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 736. The morning wind is a light cross-off from the E, so it'll be clean. A solid option.
The standout for the second week, and possibly the whole forecast, is Tuesday the 11th of August. We've got a 1.1m swell from the SW, but the period is a very long 19 seconds, giving it real punch. The combined energy is strong at 1021, and the morning is glassy. This is excellent for experienced surfers – the size is manageable, but that long period groundswell will wrap in perfectly on this reef. Mark that one down.
So, the first half has some quality windows, especially Tuesday morning the 28th and Thursday morning the 30th of July. The second week is smaller, but Tuesday the 11th of August has the potential to be the best of the bunch. Keep an eye on it.

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.
