The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get stuck into it.
The early part of the week is a bit of a tease. We’ve got some small, clean waves showing Tuesday morning, but it’s pretty average. The water temp is sitting at 89°, which is a couple of degrees warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s gonna feel like a warm bath out there.
The real story starts to build through the middle of the week. Wednesday morning is looking sweet – glassy conditions with a clean 2ft SW swell. But it’s Thursday morning that really gets the heart beating. The swell jumps to 3ft, the energy is starting to build, and it’s glassy. That’s when it starts to feel like we’ve got something on.
Then Friday morning, watch out. The swell pushes to a solid 3ft with a long 18-second period. It’s offshore, glassy, and the energy is jumping. That’s the first proper standout. The Wash Right (East Coast) is a reef, and it’s fairly consistent, which is a bonus. With that long period groundswell, it’s going to have some nice lines wrapping in. It might be a bit straight for some, but for the crew who know how to work a reef, it’s going to be firing.
Saturday morning keeps the good times rolling – 4ft, glassy, and the energy is still strong. It’s another cracker. The wind is dead calm, so it’s going to be as clean as it gets.
We’ve got a bit of a lull through the middle of next week, with the swell dropping back a touch and the winds getting a bit messy. Nothing to get too excited about, but there’s always something to ride.
Then, hold onto your boards, because the following Friday morning (the 14th) is the big one. The swell jumps to 5ft, the period is a solid 18 seconds, and it’s glassy. The energy reading is huge – that’s some serious power. This is for the experienced crew only. It’s going to be excellent, but it’s not a day for the beginners, that’s for sure. The Saturday morning after that is also looking chunky, with 5ft and glassy conditions. The energy is still massive. These two mornings are the standouts of the whole run.
The following week has some fun, clean waves in the 3ft to 4ft range, but the energy is a bit lower. It’s still worth a paddle, just not as epic. The last morning on the 19th is glassy with a 3ft SSW swell and a nice 17-second period, which is a good note to end on.
So, keep your eye on Friday the 7th for the first taste of the good stuff, but the 14th and 15th are the days you want to clear your schedule for. It’s looking promising, but as always, the long-range stuff is a bit less certain. We’ll just have to see how it all lines up.

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.
