The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up down at The Wash Right.
We’ve got a solid run of surf kicking off this Saturday morning, July 25th, and it’s looking pretty special right from the get-go. The water’s sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—you’ll feel that difference. The swell is a nice 4ft from the southwest, with a long period of 20 seconds, giving it some serious groundswell grunt (combined energy is 1045). That’s moderate to strong energy, and with a light 3 mph east breeze keeping it cross-off, the waves should be clean. This spot is a reef break, so that long-period swell will wrap in nicely. It’s fairly consistent, but crowds are possible, so keep your eyes open. Saturday afternoon drops off with a cross-on wind, so morning is definitely the call.
Sunday the 26th morning is a standout. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the southwest, period still long at 18 seconds (combined energy 2070), and the wind is glassy out of the southeast at just 3 mph. That’s about as clean as it gets. Solid groundswell for experienced surfers, but the wave height is still manageable. Sunday afternoon gets a bit iffy with onshore wind and a risk of storms.
Monday the 27th morning is another gem. Glassy conditions again with a 5ft southwest swell, 16-second period, and massive energy at 2312. The wind is a light offshore from the east-northeast at 3 mph. This is prime, clean surf on a reef—don’t sleep on it.
Tuesday the 28th morning pushes the swell up to 7ft from the south-southwest, 17-second period, and the energy is pumping at 2424. Glassy conditions with a 3 mph east-northeast breeze. This is the biggest and most powerful session of the week. At 7ft, it’s getting a bit stout for beginners, but for anyone with experience, this is the highlight. Tuesday afternoon gets choppy.
Wednesday the 29th morning keeps the good run going: 6ft, south-southwest swell, 16-second period, glassy northeast breeze (energy 1847). Clean, powerful, and consistent. Thursday starts to fade as the swell drops and the wind turns cross-shore. Friday the 31st morning still has some life with 4ft and glassy conditions, but the energy is backing off.
Then we hit a long gap. From Saturday August 1st through to Thursday August 6th, the swell drops to under 3ft. The energy dips into the low hundreds—pretty weak stuff. There are some glassy mornings, but the waves are small and ordinary. It’s not really worth paddling out unless you’re on a log and don’t mind ankle-biters.
Things perk up again on Saturday August 8th morning, with a 3ft southwest swell, 15-second period, and a light north-northwest glassy wind (energy 410). Then Sunday August 9th morning looks promising: 3ft from the south-southwest, 14-second period, with a light offshore breeze from the north-northeast at 3 mph (energy 407). Clean little groundswell—worth a look, but keep expectations realistic.
If you’re picking just one or two sessions, go with Tuesday the 28th morning for the biggest, cleanest groundswell, and Sunday the 26th morning for the glassy, powerful setup. This is a reef break, so that long-period stuff will handle the shape beautifully.
Keep your wits about you if you’re a beginner on those bigger days. For the rest, it’s game on.
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.
