The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board – there's a bit of a wait on.
Right now, looking at Laundromats, we've got a pretty grim run ahead. The whole 16-day window is looking like a bit of a write-off, to be honest. We're talking about a stretch of poor surf conditions that just won't let up. The first few days, from Saturday the 25th through to the first week of August, are all showing "poor surf conditions" with scores of 0 or 1. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1.3 ft to 2.0 ft, and the wind is all over the shop – cross, cross-on, and choppy. It's a flat spell, plain and simple. There's a tiny glimmer on Sunday, August 2nd morning, where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is still only 2.0 ft with a combined energy of 73 (weak), so it's barely surfable, not something to get excited about. Then it's back to the same old story.
Honestly, the energy in the water is weak throughout. The highest combined energy reading we see is 121 (moderate) on the Saturday afternoon, but that's paired with a poor surf call. The swell direction is mostly out of the NE or ESE, which is okay for the spot, but the size just isn't there. The water temp is sitting at 80.2°F, which is bang on average for this time of year.
With no real swell on the horizon and persistent wind issues, there's nothing to recommend here. It's a flat spell that's going to feel like an eternity. Keep your fins waxed and wait 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.
