The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got for The Wash Right.
The Wash Right is a reef break, and it's exposed to the swell. It's a fairly consistent spot, but crowds are sometimes a problem. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
We start off a bit slow. Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th are nothing to write home about. Small swell around 3ft to 3ft from the SW with messy wind. The combined swell energy is moderate on Monday morning (574), but the quality is just not there. You can stay on the beach.
Things turn a corner on Tuesday the 15th. Tuesday morning is where it starts to get interesting. We've got a 4ft SSW swell with a long 17-second period, so a proper groundswell. The wind is glassy, dead calm. The combined energy is strong (1002). This is clean, excellent surf for experienced surfers. Tuesday afternoon sees a bit of a cross-onshore creep in, making it a bit more marginal.
Wednesday the 16th is the stand-out. Wednesday morning is the pick of the entire forecast. Clean, glassy conditions with 5ft of SSW groundswell rolling in at a 16-second period. The combined energy is very strong (1056). This is clean, powerful, excellent surf for experienced surfers. You want to be on it early.
Thursday the 17th continues the trend. Thursday morning is glassy again with 4ft of SSW swell (14-second period). The combined energy is still strong (933), so expect very good conditions.
After that, the surf quality drops off for the end of the week. Friday the 18th gets blown out by a moderate cross-shore and some chop. The weekend of the 19th and 20th sees the swell dropping back to 3ft to 3ft from the SW, but with some clean glassy windows on the Saturday and Sunday mornings. The energy is moderate (829 to 985).
The following week, starting Monday the 21st, brings another clean run. Monday morning is glassy with 4ft of SW swell (17-second period) and strong energy (1043). Excellent conditions. This pattern of clean mornings and choppy afternoons holds for a few days.
Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd are more marginal, with a cross-shore wind and dropping swell energy. By Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th, the mornings are glassy again but the swell is down to 4ft and 3ft. The energy is moderate (496 to 545).
Into the final weekend, Saturday the 27th morning is glassy with a weak 2ft swell but surprisingly high energy (670) from a long-period (18-second) SW swell. Sunday the 28th and Monday the 29th both have clean, glassy mornings with 3ft SW swell and moderate energy (828 and 662).
So to sum it up, don't bother paddling out until Tuesday the 15th. The absolute best session is Wednesday the 16th morning, with that powerful, glassy SSW groundswell. The following Monday the 21st morning is another excellent one. The second week offers more of the same pattern – clean, smallish mornings – but it's a longer-range call, so less certain. The reef setup should handle the long-period groundswell well, but it might be a bit fat and straight for the beach breaks.

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.
