The Wash Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey, it's Rusty. Let's break down what's coming.

Our main focus is The Wash Right. This reef picks up south swell, and we've got a good pulse of South-Southwest groundswell on the way. Water temp is a balmy 89°, which is a touch warmer than usual.

The clear winner, the session you don't want to miss, is Monday morning, July 27th at The Wash Right. We're talking a clean 5ft SSW swell with a super long 16-second period, and glassy conditions with a light 3 mph ENE breeze. The wave energy is strong at 2448, so there's real power in the water. For a reef break, that long-period juice is going to create some lovely lines. It's 'fairly consistent' but can get 'sometimes' crowded.

That's the highlight, but there are other good windows. Thursday morning, July 30th is another glassy morning with a 5ft SSW swell at 14 seconds and moderate energy (1055). Excellent conditions on tap. Friday morning, July 31st offers a smaller but very clean 4ft SSW swell with absolutely zero wind – dead flat calm. Energy drops to 569, but for a clean, fun reef wave, it’s a solid choice.

After that first week, the swell takes a noticeable dip. Saturday, August 1st gets messy in the afternoon, and we hit a stretch of small, less appealing surf through early August. Friday morning, August 7th looks like a potential return to form – a clean 4ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period and a favorable cross-offshore NNW wind at 6 mph. Energy bounces back to 941. Worth watching, but it's a ways out.

Further down the line, Tuesday morning, August 11th also has some promise with a clean 4ft SSW swell and 14-second period, paired with a cross-offshore ESE breeze. Another one to keep on the radar.

So, the takeaway: nail that first Monday morning, July 27th. After that, expect a lull before we might see another push in the second week. Keep your eyes peeled.

Rusty.
