The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the next couple of weeks for The Wash Right. It’s a reef setup, pretty consistent, and it’s exposed to the south swell. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin’ at 88°F.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the first real window of clean surf kicks off on Sunday the 9th. The morning’s lookin’ glassy with a 3ft SSW swell, period around 14 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, with moderate energy (556) and clean faces. The afternoon stays glassy, same size, period dropping to 13 seconds, still good stuff. Monday the 10th morning is the same story: glassy, 3ft SSW swell, period 13 seconds, moderate energy (577). It’s a nice, tidy little run of mellow waves for a quiet session.
Now, the standout. Tuesday the 11th morning is the pick of the whole forecast. We’ve got a 4ft SW swell, period way up at 18 seconds – that’s a very long-period groundswell barreling in, with strong energy (1103). And it’s glassy. For a reef break like The Wash Right, that long period is gonna draw some proper lines, good for experienced surfers. The downside? It’s a spot that’s *sometimes* crowded, so you might have some company.
The next real highlight is Friday the 14th morning. Another glassy session, 4ft SW swell, 18-second period, and the energy’s cranked up to 1307 – strong. That’s another one for the experienced crew. Then Saturday the 15th morning keeps the quality, glassy, 5ft SW swell, 16-second period, energy at 1144. That’s a solid chest-to-head-high groundswell, but still clean. If you’re a beginner, that 5ft is right on the edge, so be careful.
After that, we get a few more glimmers: Tuesday the 18th morning is glassy with 4ft SSW swell, 15-second period, moderate energy (617), and Wednesday the 19th morning is dead calm, glassy, 4ft SSW swell, 14-second period. Things taper off into the second week, with smaller, cleaner morning windows on the 20th, 21st, and 22nd, but nothin’ that’ll blow your socks off. The winds get a bit messy in the afternoons, so stick to the mornings for the cleanest rides.
Overall, the best on offer is Tuesday the 11th morning and Friday the 14th morning – glassy, long-period groundswell, and strong energy. Those are the ones to circle on the calendar.
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.
