Right then, let's have a look at what we've got.

Well, to be honest, it's a bit of a flat spell coming up. We've got a single break in the mix, Laundromats, and the next 16 days are looking pretty tough. There's a real dry patch with barely a ripple worth getting out of bed for, especially in the first week. The water’s sitting at a balmy 83°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight.

The best of a very average bunch looks to be on Monday, July 13th. We get a lump of short-period wind swell pushing in, about 5ft from the ENE with a period of just 7 seconds, but the energy is moderate (301). Thing is, the wind is howling onshore from the ESE at 19 mph – that’s going to make a mess of it. With that much chop and the swell being so short, this one’s more for the experts if anyone bothers, and honestly, with conditions like that, it looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle session.

After that stops, it drops right back off. The following Wednesday morning, the 15th, offers a tiny glimmer – swell drops to 2ft from the east, period of 8 seconds, and the wind goes light offshore from the WSW. It’ll be clean, but it’s barely surfable. The energy reading is a weak 56, so you'll be scratching for anything.

We then go into a proper lull. Days and days of tiny, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross-shore breezes. There's a small bump on July 21st, Tuesday, with 3ft from the NNE, but with light offshore winds in the afternoon it might clean up a bit. Still, the energy is weak (98), and it's nothing to get excited about.

The later part of the window, around the 22nd to the 24th, sees a slight lift in energy – readings around 100 to 169 – and some 4ft swell, but it's all short-period wind swell from the NE and ENE, with the wind either cross or cross-onshore. That's a recipe for chop, not quality waves.

Truth is, there's no standout here. It's a bleak run. The consistency at Laundromats is ‘fairly consistent’, so it *tends not to stay this poor for long* – hopefully the forecasts will change, because right now I wouldn't point anyone towards it. Keep the board in the car, but leave it on the roof.

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.
