The Wash Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty coming to you live from the beach. Let's break down what we’ve got coming up at The Wash Right over the next couple of weeks. It’s a reef setup, exposed to the south, and it's looking like a slow burner with a couple of absolute gems to wait for.

The next few days are a tease. We’ve got some swell in the water, but the conditions aren’t firing straight away. Things really start to clean up come Monday morning, the 10th of August. That’s when we see that first real highlight. The swell is a modest 3ft from the SSW with a period of 13 seconds, giving us a decent groundswell feel. But the magic is in the wind – a flat-out glass-off with zero wind. The water is about average for this time of year, so no nasty surprises. The wave energy is solid at 567, promising some clean, workable walls. This is the one for the early session if you want uncrowded, clean lines.

Hang onto your board for Tuesday the 11th of August, morning. This is the standout session for the first week. The swell picks up slightly to 4ft from the SW, with a gorgeous 18-second period. That long period groundswell will wrap beautifully into this reef. The wind is a light cross-offshore, keeping the face clean and smooth. The combined energy is sitting at a beefy 1089, so there’s plenty of grunt in the water. This is proper, well-shaped surf that will hold its line. Even the crowds are only "sometimes" a factor here, so you should have plenty of room.

We hit a bit of a lull mid-week with smaller, onshore winds messing things up. Don’t write it off, though. By Friday the 14th of August, morning, we’re back in business. Another glassy session with the swell jumping to 4ft from the SW and an 18-second period. The energy goes nuts at 1307. This is another cracker for experienced surfers looking for a powerful, clean ride.

Saturday the 15th of August, morning, is also looking excellent. Another glass-off, 5ft from the SW. That’s getting up there, pushing into more experienced territory due to the size, but with clean conditions and a 16-second period, it’ll be a ripper for those who can handle it.

Now, the second week gets interesting. There are some smaller days and onshore slop, but the potential for the session of the window is on Saturday the 22nd of August, morning. This is the one to circle on your calendar. We’re looking at a solid 10ft from the SSE with a 13-second period. That’s big, powerful surf – expert-only territory. The combined energy is monstrous at 3433. The good news is the wind is a light cross-offshore keeping it clean. This is a long-range call, so it’s a promising one to watch. Sunday the 23rd of August, morning, also has potential with 8ft from the SSW and glassy conditions, which is another one for the experienced crew.
