The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles.
Same spot, The Wash Right. The first few days are small, but the real juice comes later. The mornings of Tuesday 28 July and Wednesday 29 July are the ones to get wet for.
Wednesday 22 July morning has a clean 3ft swell from the SW, 14-second period, glassy. The wave energy is moderate (504). A nice, clean start.
Thursday 23 July morning is 2ft from the SW, 13 seconds, glassy again. Energy is moderate (362). Small but clean.
Friday 24 July morning has 2ft from the SW with a very long 24-second period. That’s a groundswell, but at a beach break it can run a bit straight. Energy is moderate (747). Cross-shore wind.
Saturday 25 July morning sees 4ft from the SW, 20 seconds, and energy is strong (1368). The wind is cross-shore, so it’s clean. Afternoon swell jumps to 6ft but gets choppy with cross-onshore wind.
Sunday 26 July morning is a ripper for experienced surfers. 5ft from the SW, 18 seconds, glassy. Energy is strong (1824).
Monday 27 July morning has 5ft SW, 17 seconds, but the cross-shore wind is moderate. Surfable.
Tuesday 28 July morning – the standout. 7ft from the SSW, 17 seconds, with a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is very strong (2697). Water temp is about average for the time of year. This is a reef break, so that long-period groundswell will line up nicely. Over 8ft is expert-only, so at 7ft, it’s a powerful wave for the experienced. Crowds are possible here sometimes.
Wednesday 29 July morning is another top one. 6ft from the SSW, 16 seconds, clean with light cross-offshore wind. Energy is strong (1807).
Thursday 30 July drops to 5ft from the SSW, 14 seconds, cross-shore. Still okay.
Friday 31 July morning is glassy with 4ft from the SSW, 13 seconds. Energy is moderate (786).
Saturday 1 August morning is glassy with 3ft from the SSW, 12 seconds. Energy is moderate (572).
Then a quiet spell from Sunday 2 August to Wednesday 5 August. The swell is tiny, mostly 2ft to 2ft, with onshore or cross-shore wind. Energy is weak (down to 152). A real slow patch.
Thursday 6 August morning brings a new pulse. 5ft from the SSE, 11 seconds, glassy. Energy is moderate (731). A good sign for the end of the window.
So, my tip: hit Tuesday 28 July or Wednesday 29 July mornings. Strong, clean, powerful. The rest has some good sessions, but those two are the real deal.
Rusty.

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.
The Wash Right is 93 km (58 miles) from Tecoman. If you plan a holiday in Michoacan, look for hotels and other accommodation in Tecoman. Tecoman has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
