You should be able to use .forward in order to raycast in the direction you are facing.

To further elaborate on this, transform.forward is already calculated like this by Unity:

 // This is already the value of transform.forward -- you don't need to actually use this
 transform.forward = transform.rotation * Vector3.forward;
