The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Laundromats is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, messy, and mostly uncooperative surf. The best we get is a few fleeting moments of clean, surfable waves, but nothing that’s going to get the heart pumping.
The first real chance we see is on Wednesday, September 2nd. The morning brings a little 3ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate (116). The wind is light and offshore from the WSW, which will keep things clean. The water’s a touch warmer than usual at 81°, about 3° above normal. It’s surfable, but conditions are just ordinary. The afternoon sees the wind swing onshore, killing the vibe.
Thursday the 3rd is more of the same, with a smaller 2ft ESE swell. The wind is at least cross-offshore, keeping it clean, but the energy is weak (54). It’s a knee-high session if you’re desperate.
From Friday the 4th right through to the morning of Monday the 7th, it’s a write-off. The swell drops to 1ft or less, the wind is all over the place, and the energy is pitiful. You’re looking at a full four-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
Monday the 7th does see a pulse of swell – 4ft from the ENE, with a period of 9 seconds and moderate energy (219) – but it’s blown out by a cross-onshore wind. The conditions are poor, so it’s a frustrating one to watch.
Tuesday the 8th morning is our best bet for the whole outlook. The swell holds at 3ft from the ENE, with a 10-second period and moderate energy (173). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the SSW, giving us clean surf. It’s still just ordinary, but it’s the cleanest wave we’ll see. After that, the wind wrecks it again.
From Wednesday the 9th, it’s another long, bleak run. The swell drops back to 2ft, then 1ft, and the wind is either strong, onshore, or just messy. The energy is weak (15-73). This blank stretch goes all the way to the end of the forecast on September 17th. The little pulse of 0.7ft swell from the east on the 17th has a long 13-second period, but it’s so small and the wind is howling – it’s barely a ripple.
Honestly, the only window that’s even worth a look is the morning of Tuesday, September 8th. It’s not a standout, it’s just the least bad. Don’t get your hopes up for this one.
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.
