The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the next 16 days for the Laundromats area.
Bottom line, partner, it's looking pretty flat and uninspiring. We're looking at a long stretch of nothing. From July 27th all the way through August 2nd, it's just small, weak, and choppy. The wave energy is a joke, barely getting above 80 (peaking at a feeble 82). Not a whole lot to talk about.
There's a little blip on the morning of Monday, August 3rd. The swell bumps up to a tiny 3ft from the SE, and the energy finally creeps into a moderate range (116). The wind will be a clean offshore from the WSW, so the surface will be smooth. But it's a short-period swell at 8 seconds, so it won't have much power. It's a short window of "yeah, you could probably get a few if you're desperate," but it's not worth planning a session around. It fades fast by the afternoon.
After that, it's back to tiny, weak, and mostly junky. On the morning of Monday, August 10th, the wind goes glassy from the NNE, but the swell is only 1ft from the ENE. It'll look pretty, but there's nothing to ride.
There's absolutely nothing here that stands out. The water temp is 78°F, which is about average for this time of year. No big swells, no clean days with any size. Just a long, flat outlook. Sometimes that's just how it goes.
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.
