Table - best surf conditions forecast for Laundromats over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you: it’s a quiet stretch. The data for Laundromats shows a long spell of small, messy, or just plain poor conditions. The first real glimmer of anything ridable doesn’t show up until Thursday the 23rd of July, and even then, it’s barely a whisper.
We’re looking at about a 13-day gap from now with no real surf on offer. A lot of tiny, weak swells with onshore or cross-shore winds, and the occasional storm risk. Water temp is sitting around 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s notable.
Let’s talk about that one morning that breaks the silence. On Thursday the 23rd of July, Laundromats might just offer a session. We’ve got a small 2ft swell from the NE, period around 7 seconds. It’s not going to blow you away, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW, and the report says it’s clean. The combined energy is weak (76). It’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s a one-star morning in a sea of zeros. If you’re desperate, you could get wet, but you won’t be telling stories about it.
Before that, the only other thing worth a mention is a brief spike on Sunday the 12th of July morning. A 4ft NE swell with cross-onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms. Combined energy is moderate (132), but it’s choppy and not clean. Not a recommendation, just a heads-up that something is moving.
After the 23rd, things stay small and clean but tiny. That little window on the 23rd morning is probably the best, and it’s nothing special.
No standouts. No big swells. No clean, lined-up perfection. Just a long, quiet wait with a tiny, clean window near the end. Keep an eye on those forecasts, things can change.
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.
