Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. There’s surfable swell coming through, but nothing that’s going to get the heart racing. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t appear until Monday the 13th of July, so we’ve got a bit of a wait before anything worthwhile shows up.
The only spot in the frame is Laundromats, and it’s a fairly consistent wave that’s exposed to the swell. The wave energy is on the weaker side for most of the period, with combined energy values mostly in the teens to sixties, so you’re not going to get any real power behind the waves. The best morning looks to be Monday the 13th. The swell is small, around 3ft, coming out of the ENE with a period of 6 seconds – that’s short period windswell, so the waves will be a bit soft and crumbly. The big plus here is the wind: glassy conditions in the morning. That’s a rare treat, and it’ll make the surface clean as a whistle. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary there.
The following morning, Tuesday the 14th, also looks tidy enough. The swell is a touch smaller at 2ft from the east with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping things clean. The combined energy is 77, so it’s still weak, but it’s surfable.
After that, the window closes again. There’s a run of poor surf conditions right through to the end of the forecast period. The 20th and 21st of July offer some clean conditions with cross-offshore winds, but the swell is tiny and weak, with combined energy in the 20s and 30s. It’s really only a board and a paddle for the sake of it.
Overall, the standout is the Monday the 13th morning session at Laundromats. The glassy conditions are the main draw. If you’re after a wave, that’s your window. The rest of the time, it’s either too small, too choppy, or both.

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.
