The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for The Wash Right.

Alright, we’re in for a bit of a mixed bag. The water’s sitting at 89°F, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the steamer at home. The surf window kicks off on the morning of Tuesday the 18th of August, and it's a beauty to start. We’ve got a clean, glassy 4ft SSW swell rolling in with a moderate energy level of 604. This is a clean start for a Tuesday morning session.

That first day is the standout of the early run. Tuesday morning delivers that glassy 4ft SSW swell, and it's a good option. The wind is calm and the conditions are perfect. The afternoon sees a cross-onshore pick up, which messes things up, so get out early.

From Wednesday the 19th through to Saturday the 22nd of August, the surf drops off. We’re looking at smaller 3ft to 3ft SSW swells with light cross-shore or cross-onshore winds muddying the water. It’s a bit of a lean patch, nothing worth making a special trip for.

Now, Sunday the 23rd of August looks promising again. The morning session is a glassy 2ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 18 seconds, packing decent energy at 848. That long period will make for clean, lined-up waves at this reef, but be mindful it might break a bit straight on a beach setup. Still, glassy and long-period is a solid combo. Monday the 24th of August morning also looks good with glassy cross-offshore winds and a 2ft SW swell.

We hit another quiet patch mid-week until Thursday the 27th of August morning. That one shows a glassy 2ft SSW swell with that same 18-second period and good energy (574). Another clean, early session.

The real standout, and I mean the one to circle on your calendar, is the end of the run. The morning of Friday the 28th of August is glassy with a building 4ft SW swell, and the energy is jacking up to 838. Then Saturday the 29th of August morning is the pick of the whole forecast. We get a clean 5ft SSW swell with a very strong combined energy of 1251. This is excellent, solid size for this spot. It’s in the zone for experienced surfers, so if you’ve got the skills, that Saturday morning is the one. The wind will be light cross-offshore, keeping the faces clean.

From the 30th of August onward, the wind starts to get messy with stronger cross and cross-onshore breezes, and while swell sticks around 4ft to 5ft, the quality drops. The morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September looks like another good window with a glassed-off 4ft SW groundswell and massive energy (900), but it's a long way off, so keep an eye on it.

So, to wrap it up: get on the Tuesday the 18th morning or the Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th mornings. The 29th is the big one.

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.
