The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s paddle out and have a look at what the next couple of weeks are throwing at us for The Wash Right. We’ve got a run of pulses coming through, nothing giant, but there’s a couple of proper windows where it’s gonna be worth your while. The water’s sitting at 89°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home. That’s a real bonus to start with.

The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. Friday morning the 21st is glassy with a touch of swell, around 3ft from the SSW. The energy is weak (351), but that glassy morning might tempt you out for a few slow ones. It’s the most promising start, but it’s not exactly firing. From there, we’ve got a bit of a lull and some lumpy conditions through Saturday and Sunday. Saturday morning has some cross-shore wind with that 3ft, but things clean up nicely Saturday afternoon when it goes glassy again. That one is better, with the swell picking up a bit of energy (545). Sunday morning looks clean with a nice cross-off breeze, but the swell drops back to 2ft. It’s a bit of a waiting game for the first few days.

Monday the 24th is when things start to feel a bit more like it. The morning has clean, cross-off conditions and the swell holds around 2ft from the SW, but the period is up at 17 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and it’s pushing some moderate energy (544). But the real highlight of that day is the afternoon. The wind dies off to glassy and the swell bumps up a touch to 3ft from the SW with a 16-second period. That’s a clean, lined-up reef pass that’ll have you stoked. This is one of the better windows in this first week.

We’ve got a stretch of variable stuff after that, with the wind and tide making things tricky. Tuesday and Wednesday get chopped up as the breeze swings around. It’s not great, but it’s just a bit of a holding pattern. Then Thursday the 27th looks like another gem. The morning is pure glass, with a 2ft SW swell at 18 seconds. It’s a bit fat but super clean, and the energy is solid (657). This is a good one for getting some long, drawn-out rides on the reef.

Now, if you’re one of the more experienced crew, you’re gonna want to keep your eyes on the last few days of August. The swell really starts to fill in. Friday the 28th sees the energy jump big time, with the combined energy reading 1123 in the morning and 1671 in the afternoon as the swell climbs to 5ft. But there’s a decent cross-shore breeze that day which messes up the surface. It’s big, but it’s not clean.

Saturday the 29th is the standout of this stretch. Morning session is where it’s at. We’re looking at a solid 6ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and the wind is just a light WNW, making it glassy. The energy is pumping at 1570. This is real surf, pushing past the beginner mark, and it’ll be a proper test for the intermediate crew. For the experts, this is the one to get. It’s the biggest, cleanest swell of the first week. The afternoon gets a little more cross-on, but the morning is gold.

We then see it drop off a bit for Sunday the 30th, still a decent 5ft but with a bit more wind around. It’s rideable but not as special as the day before. Then we get into some wind-affected stuff for Monday the 31st, with a risk of thunderstorms and onshore energy. That’s a day to stay on the sand.

Looking further out into the second week, there are a few more promising pulses but with more uncertainty. September 1st has a glassy morning with a 4ft S swell at 14 seconds. It won’t be as clean as the Saturday, but it’s still worth a paddle. The afternoon gets blown onshore, so make the most of the morning.

September 2nd is another one to circle. The morning is glassy with a 3ft SW swell at 16 seconds, not huge but clean, and the energy is ramping up (1047). It’s got potential. September 3rd and 4th also have some size, but the winds are more unpredictable. The morning of the 4th looks particularly good on paper – glassy with a 5ft SW swell at 16 seconds and a solid 1260 energy reading. But we’re over a week out, so let’s see how that one shapes up. It’s promising, but not set in stone.

So to sum it up: the best, most reliable surf is the Saturday morning the 29th with that solid groundswell. Monday the 24th afternoon is also a real stand-out for cleaner, more manageable waves. There are other fun windows, especially the glassy mornings, but you’ll need to pick your moments. Crowds are always a possibility here, so get in the water early for the best of it.

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.
