The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the pipe for our local bank.
We've got a solid run of surf on the way, starting this Saturday morning. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 88°.
Saturday morning, July 18th, we kick things off with clean 2ft waves from the SW pushing into The Wash Right. The wind is a light cross-offshore, so it'll be clean, but the energy is low (429). It's a gentle start.
Sunday morning, July 19th, is where it gets interesting. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the SW, and the wind is dead calm – glassy conditions. The wave energy is really cooking (1022). This is a standout for the near-term. The period is a long 17 seconds, so this is proper groundswell, which will shape up nicely on this reef. It's a good session for experienced surfers.
Monday morning, July 20th, holds up well with 4ft SW swell and glassy conditions again. The energy is strong (1096). Another top morning for the experienced crew.
Tuesday morning, July 21st, the swell drops a touch to 4ft, but with a clean cross-offshore breeze, it's still very good.
Wednesday and Thursday mornings, July 22nd and 23rd, the swell fades but stays clean with glassy conditions and 2ft to 3ft waves. Fun for a longboard or a fish.
Friday morning, July 24th, we get a nice little spike. The swell is 2ft, but the period jumps to a very long 24 seconds. The energy is solid (729), and it's glassy. This is prime groundswell, so it will be peeling nicely on the reef.
Saturday morning, July 25th, the swell is back up to 4ft, but the wind goes cross-shore, so it's not as clean as the mornings prior.
Sunday morning, July 26th, brings a real treat. The swell is 5ft from the SSW, and it's glassy. The energy is through the roof (1757). This is for experienced surfers only at this size. Another standout.
Monday morning, July 27th, is another cracker. 5ft SW swell, glassy, with massive energy (2148). This is a serious run of clean, powerful surf.
Tuesday morning, July 28th, is the biggest of the bunch. 7ft SSW swell, glassy, and the energy is the highest we've seen (2452). This is expert territory, but for those who can handle it, it's a pumping morning.
Wednesday morning, July 29th, stays excellent with 6ft SSW swell and a clean cross-offshore breeze.
After that, the quality drops. From Thursday, July 30th, through to the end of the run on Sunday, August 2nd, the swell slowly fades, the wind gets stronger, and the conditions become marginal to poor. The mornings still offer the best chance, but the windows are closing.
The standout sessions are Sunday morning July 19th, Monday morning July 20th, Sunday morning July 26th, Monday morning July 27th, and Tuesday morning July 28th. Those are the ones you want to circle.

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.
