Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be real—the next couple of weeks at Laundromats are looking pretty bleak. We've got a long stretch ahead with barely a ripple, so let's break it down.
Right now and for the next ten days, it’s a total bust. We’re looking at tiny swell—nothing above 1ft for most of it—with a combined energy that barely cracks 30 or 40 on a good day. That’s weak. The wind is all over the shop, mostly onshore or cross-shore, and there’s a lot of talk of thunderstorms and rain showers. The water temp is sitting at 82°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s nothing to ride.
There’s a real dead zone from now all the way through to the morning of Thursday the 16th of July. That whole span is just zero. You’ll get the odd clean-ish morning, like Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th with offshore winds, but the swell is only 1ft to 2ft. It’s barely surfable. You’d be paddling for nothing.
After that, things start to look a little more interesting, but it’s still a long shot. On Friday the 17th of July, there’s a small pulse. The morning shows 3ft of SE swell with a period of 9 seconds, pushing the combined energy up to 117. That’s moderate energy, finally. The wind is a gentle offshore from the SSW, so it should be clean. It’s not big, but it's the first real flicker of life. That morning is the best on offer across the whole forecast.
Then on Tuesday the 21st of July, we see another pulse: 3ft of SE swell, period 6 seconds, with clean offshore winds from the WNW. The energy is 85. It's still a short-period swell, so it won't have that punchy groundswell power, but it’s something to paddle into.
Honestly, if you’re dying for a wave, Friday the 17th morning is your best bet. Clean, small, and the only day that really breaks the pattern. Beyond that, keep an eye on the Tuesday the 21st morning. It’s promising, but it’s a long way out. For now, it’s a waiting game. This stretch is a real test of patience.
Rusty.

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.
