Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards.
Alright, straight up, no messing around: if you're looking to paddle out, you’re in for a tough run. This forecast is a long, quiet stretch. We’re talking a solid run of days where the ocean just doesn't want to play ball. For the first week and a half, from Friday the 3rd to around Tuesday the 14th, the swell is tiny and weak, with almost no energy to speak of. The combined wave energy values are a measly two-digit number most of the time, barely breaking 100 – weak, weak, weak. You'll be floating around on nothing. Most of this period is a write-off for a decent paddle.
There is a slight, and I mean *slight*, flicker of life on the morning of Wednesday the 8th of July. The swell bumps up to about 3ft from the SE, with a combined energy hitting 107 (moderate). It’s still nothing to write home about, and the wind is a light cross-off from the N, which keeps things clean. But the surf is described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". For a spot like Laundromats that is fairly consistent, this is the only window where it’s even worth checking. The swell direction from the SE isn't a perfect match for the optimum NE direction for the break either, but with clean conditions and the only real energy around, if you’re desperate for a splash, that Wednesday morning is it.
After that little bump, it's back to the same old story. Tiny swells, mostly poor conditions, and a lot of wind from the S and SE messing things up. The rest of the run into the second week, from the 10th to the 18th, is full of the same old story: 1ft to 2ft, with combined energy in the teens and twenties and thirties. The water temperature is about average for the time of year so no surprises there.
Honestly, mate, this is a period for checking your wax stash and waiting. The ocean’s asleep.

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.
