G’day, Rusty here. I’ve been through the numbers for Laundromats over the next couple weeks, and between you and me, it’s a slow, flat spell. There’s no real standout, world-class session in the whole 16-day window. The first week is basically a waste, with a few glimmers of hope late in the second week.

The forecast starts Friday, July 10, and honestly, the first ten days are a tough watch. From Friday the 10th through Monday the 20th, the swell is tiny, the wind is often messy, or both. The combined energy is weak, mostly under 100, which means there’s no power. There’s a bump in size on Sunday the 12th with a 4ft to 6ft NE/ENE swell, but it’s coming with a short 4-6 second period and onshore wind, making it choppy and poor. Nothing worth paddling out for.

Tuesday the 14th sees a small 3ft E swell with a 6-second period, but it’s onshore and messy. Wednesday the 15th morning is a painful tease – glassy conditions with a 2ft E swell, but the energy is only 42. It’s flat, mate. The next few days are pure dribble, with swell heights dropping to 0.3ft and 0.7ft. There’s a long-period groundswell on Sunday the 19th (13-second period from the E), but it’s only 0.3ft high – that’s just a ripple on the tide. The energy is 3, so absolutely nothing.

Finally, we get a shift. Tuesday, July 21, things start to look a little more interesting. The morning brings a 2ft SE swell, with a 7-second period and a light offshore wind from the W. The combined energy is 53, still weak, but the conditions are clean – gentle offshore. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon sees the swell bump up to 5ft from the SSE, period dropping to 5 seconds, but the wind stays offshore from the W (12 mph). The energy jumps to 115, which is moderate. The 5ft height is solid for an intermediate, but with that short period it’s going to be a bit fat and lumpy. This is the best on offer in the whole window, but it’s not a classic.

Wednesday, July 22 morning, is another highlight. The swell drops to 3ft from the SE, period 7 seconds, but the wind goes glassy – dead calm. The energy is a moderate 140. That’s a nice window for a clean, small wave session if you’ve got a longboard or a fish. The glassy conditions are a major positive, making it the most user-friendly surf of the whole period. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.

After that, it trails off again. Thursday the 23rd has a 3ft SSE swell but with a fresh breeze up to 22 mph, making it choppy and not worth it. The rest of the week stays small and clean-ish but tiny.

So, to wrap it up: the best day to look at is Tuesday, July 21, for the afternoon push with clean offshore wind, but keep your expectations in check. The glassy morning on Wednesday, July 22, is your best bet for a clean, small-wave trim. The rest of the fortnight is a long stretch of poor surf. I’d be checking the forecast again closer to the time, but for now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
