The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get stuck into this.

Alright, listen up. We’re looking at a single spot here, and it’s got some real potential bubbling away. The Wash Right (The-Wash-Right) is the only game in town for this outlook, a reef setup that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the south. The water temp is sitting at 89° right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need a full spring suit.

It kicks off with a bit of a slow start. Tuesday the 25th afternoon is marginal with a small 3ft SW swell and a cross wind. Not worth paddling out for. But then we get a proper treat come Wednesday the 26th morning. It’s glassy, dead calm wind from the east at 5 km/h (3 mph), with that same 3ft SW groundswell. The energy is moderate at 352, and it’s clean. This is a solid little window for a longboard or a fish. The afternoon goes onshore though, so get on it early.

Thursday the 27th morning is another absolute gem. Glassy conditions again, ENE breeze at 5 km/h (3 mph), with a 2ft SSW groundswell that’s got some serious grunt for its size. The combined energy jumps up to 571 and the period is a very long 18 seconds. That long period means the waves will have proper shape and power on this reef, but keep in mind it might make the sets a bit straighter at the take-off. For a reef break like this, it’s a beauty.

Now, the standout window without a doubt is Friday the 28th morning. We’ve got a 4ft SSW swell, period of 17 seconds, and a clean, cross-off wind from the northwest at 10 km/h (6 mph). The combined energy is a solid 1328, putting it in the moderate-to-strong range. This is excellent, punchy surf for experienced surfers. It’s not for beginners – at over 5ft, it’s pushing into more serious territory – but for anyone who knows what they’re doing, this is the pick of the early run.

Saturday the 29th morning is another top option with glassy conditions and a 5ft SW swell. That’s getting a bit big for learners, but for the crew who can handle it, the energy is strong at 1526 and the conditions are clean.

We then get a nice run of extended swell. Sunday the 30th morning is smaller at 4ft and glassy, and Monday the 31st is a bit choppier with onshore winds and building storm risk – I’d give that a miss.

Into the first week of September, we get another absolute cracker. Wednesday the 2nd morning is dead calm, glassy, with a 3ft SW groundswell. Energy is 712 – moderate but clean. The afternoon is also glassy with a 3ft swell. That’s a fantastic day for a session.

Thursday the 3rd afternoon is another highlight. Glassy, 5ft SSW swell, period of 17 seconds, and energy sitting at 1259. That’s excellent surf for experienced surfers again. Friday the 4th morning is similarly excellent with a 5ft swell and glassy conditions.

But if I had to call the absolute best of the whole outlook, it’s Sunday the 6th morning. Clear skies, dead calm – zero wind – and a 6ft SSW swell. The combined energy is 1522, that’s strong. The period is a solid 14 seconds. That is proper, powerful, clean reef surf. Anyone paddling out needs to know what they’re doing because at that size it’s for experienced crew only. It’s going to be absolutely firing.

The following week gives us more big swells. Monday the 7th morning has a 8ft SW swell with cross-off wind – that’s big, powerful, expert-only territory. Tuesday the 8th morning has a 7ft swell and glassy wind – again, big and clean for those who can handle it.

Wednesday the 9th morning is a real sleeper hit. It’s a 5ft SW swell, but the combined energy is a massive 2796 – that’s a very strong, powerful groundswell. The period is 17 seconds, and the wind is glassy. This is another absolutely primo session for experienced surfers. That’s your second-week standout, but keep in mind long-range forecasts can shift.

Overall, there’s no real dead gap here. The surf is pretty consistent throughout the 16 days. The crowds at The Wash Right are listed as ‘sometimes’, so you might have some company, but it’s not a circus. For the standout sessions, it’s worth the paddle.

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.
