Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at this stretch.

Honestly, it's looking pretty flat and quiet for most of the next 16 days. The first week is a real struggle, with a big gap of several days where there's basically nothing to ride. Patience is going to be key.

The only spot we’ve got to talk about is Laundromats. It’s a fairly consistent break, exposed to the swell, and it likes a NE direction. For the first week, it’s all tiny surf and messy winds. Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th are total washouts with next to no energy and poor conditions.

There is one morning that stands out as the best bet. Thursday morning, July 9th at Laundromats. The wind goes glassy – that’s a huge plus – and the conditions are reported as glassy clean. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the NE with a short period, so don't expect any bombs, but with clean glass and moderate energy, you might snag a few little rights. It’s the pick of a pretty poor bunch. The water temp is about normal for the season.

After that it’s back to poor conditions and tiny waves. Friday the 10th has a clean offshore wind but the swell is barely 1ft. Saturday the 11th is even smaller.

The second week offers a glimmer of hope but still nothing special. Sunday morning, July 21st shows a clean offshore wind from the W at 15 mph with a 2ft ESE swell. It's rideable but ordinary. The best chance in the second week is probably Tuesday afternoon, July 21st with a light offshore breeze, 2ft from the SE, and a little more energy. Still tiny, but clean.

It's a lean run. Don't expect much.

Information about the Laundromats Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Laundromats provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Laundromats can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Laundromats 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 (Laundromats) 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 Laundromats 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.

Laundromats is 56 km (35 miles) from the city of Elizabeth City. If you plan a vacation in North Carolina, look for hotels and other accommodation in Elizabeth City. Elizabeth City has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
