Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm looking at the next 16 days for Laundromats. Honestly, I gotta be straight with you—it’s a pretty bleak stretch.
Right now, we’ve got almost nothing happening. The first real chance to even think about a paddle is on Wednesday, the 15th of July. Before that, it’s a whole lot of tiny, weak, and messy surf. The energy is just pathetic, barely registering on the charts.
Even on that Wednesday morning, it’s small. We’re looking at a weak 2.6ft swell from the east, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 84, so it’s very weak. The water temp is sitting at 82.0°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The only saving grace is that morning has a light offshore wind from the west, making it glassy and clean. The waves are surfable, but they’re very ordinary. It’s not a standout, just the only thing that’s almost worth a look.
After that, it’s a long, flat run. We see a bump in size on Monday the 20th of July, with a 5ft SSE swell pushing through Tuesday the 21st with 4.3ft, but the wind is a disaster. It’s either howling onshore or strong cross-shore, making everything a chopped-up mess. The energy picks up to 194 on Tuesday morning, but it’s not a surfable energy. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with that 25 mph wind.
The rest of the window into the last week of July is just more of the same: small, weak swell, and most days are ruined by strong, stormy winds. The waves are there, but the quality is just not there. For Laundromats, this is a poor run, and unless the forecasts change, you’re better off waiting for the next system.

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.
