The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf at The Wash Right, a reef break that loves a south swell. The water is holding at nearly 89°F, which is a bit warmer than we usually get this time of year, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit.

The first good window is Tuesday morning, the 25th of August. We’ve got a clean 2ft south-west groundswell with a long 16-second period, and it’s dead glass—no wind. The combined energy is moderate (310). This is a perfect little knee-to-waist high wave for a quiet session, but this spot can get a crowd sometimes.

Tuesday afternoon the wind goes west, turning it choppy and cross. The swell bumps to 3ft, but it’s messy. Not worth it.

Wednesday the 26th morning is another glassy start with a 3ft south-west swell, period dropping to 15 seconds. Energy is still solid (352). Clean and quiet. The afternoon is onshore and no good.

Thursday the 27th morning is a gem. Glassy, 2ft south-south-west swell with a very long 18-second period. The energy is strong (555). That long period will give you proper, lined-up waves, but it might make them a bit walled at a beach break. On this reef, it’ll be beautiful. The afternoon brings storm risk and cross-onshore wind.

Friday the 28th has more size: 4ft in the morning, 5ft in the afternoon, both from the south-west with long periods (17-18 seconds). The energy is strong (1057 and 1571). But the wind is cross-shore, so the surface is a bit bumpy. Surfable, but not the best.

Now, Saturday the 29th of August morning is a top contender for the best of the forecast. The swell is 5ft from the south-west with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is strong (1628). The clincher? Glassy, no wind, and it’s rated excellent for experienced surfers. This is a serious morning for the strong paddlers. That size is not for the groms. The afternoon is a write-off.

Sunday the 30th morning is another good one. 5ft south-west swell, 14-second period, glassy, with energy of 830. Very clean and fun. The afternoon turns cross-onshore.

We hit a flat spell Monday and Tuesday (the 31st of August and 1st of September), with smaller swell and bumpy winds. A good time to rest.

Things perk up Wednesday the 2nd of September with a 3ft south-west swell, but the wind is cross-shore. Not bad, but not slick.

Then we get another banger. Thursday the 3rd of September morning: clear, glassy, 4ft south-south-west swell with a 17-second period. The energy is strong (1193). This is excellent for experienced surfers. Circle it.

Friday the 4th of September morning is the big one for the second week. Glassy, 6ft south-south-west swell with a 17-second period. The energy is very strong (1618). This is a powerful, clean, big swell. Experts only. Get out there early.

Saturday the 5th of September morning has a 6ft south-south-west swell with a cross-offshore wind, keeping it clean. Energy is still strong (1408). A solid option, but the glassy mornings earlier in the week are the real stars.

Sunday the 6th has a 5ft swell with glassy conditions in the morning, but the period drops to 14 seconds. Still fun, but less grunt.

The end of the run from Monday the 7th onward is small and bumpy, nothing to get excited about.

So, the two absolute standouts are Saturday the 29th of August morning and Thursday the 3rd of September morning. Both are glassy, powerful, long-period south-west swells at a size that demands respect. If I had to pick one, the 29th takes the crown for the sheer perfection of the conditions.

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.
