The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
The overall vibe is one of a slow, steady pulse of SSW groundswell, with a real standout window early on that’s hard to ignore. The first few days offer the cleanest conditions, but there’s a lot of lumpy, cross-shore chop in the afternoons to wade through.
Right off the bat, Friday morning, July 31st, is the pick of the bunch. The Wash Right is cleaning up with a 4ft SSW swell, a 13-second period, and dead calm, glassy conditions. The water’s sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal, so you can leave the booties at home. The combined energy is moderate at 617. It’s a reef, exposed, and the S direction is spot on. This is your window. Get out there early.
Saturday morning, August 1st, is still okay with a clean 3ft SSW swell under a light cross-offshore breeze, but the energy drops to 335. Sunday morning, August 2nd, is back to glassy conditions, but the swell is a smaller 2ft. Monday morning, August 3rd, is also glassy with 3ft, but the energy is a bit lower again. The afternoons are a write-off with cross-shore wind and chop.
After that, the surf drops off. Tuesday, August 4th, through Wednesday, August 6th, is tiny and messy, with periods below 8 seconds and weak energy readings between 97 and 353. There’s a gap of a few days here where I wouldn’t bother paddling out.
Now, we get a nice little re-charge for the second week. Friday morning, August 7th, is looking promising again with a 3ft SSW swell, but this time the period has jumped to 18 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell. The energy is a solid 895, and with glassy conditions, it’s going to be a proper wave. Just keep in mind that long period stuff can break a bit straight at the beach, but on a reef, it should line up nicely.
Saturday morning, August 8th, is clean again with a 4ft swell and 16-second period, energy at 810. Sunday morning, August 9th, is glassy with 4ft from the SSW. The standout in the second week is shaping up for Thursday morning, August 13th, with a clean 3ft, 16-second period swell and dead calm winds. Energy is 715. It’s a solid, reliable morning for a surf.
Later in the window, around Friday, August 14th, and Saturday, August 15th, the swell pushes up to 5ft with some serious energy (1246 and 1063), but the wind is on the cross or cross-on, so it’s a bit more of a gamble.
Rusty out.

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.
