Right then, let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, it’s a lean stretch. There’s nothing really worth paddling out for until the morning of Saturday the 11th, and even then, it’s marginal. You’d be waiting over a week from now just for a whisper of something rideable. A tough run for sure.

We’ve only got one spot to look at here, Laundromats. It’s a fairly consistent little exposed number, but for the first week it’s all tiny – think knee-high dribble at best, with a cross-shore or cross-off wind messing with it. There’s barely any energy in the water (combined swell energy values stay mostly in the teens to low 40s), so it’s about as flat and forgettable as it gets. You’d be better off doing anything else.

Finally, on the morning of Saturday the 11th, things perk up just a fraction. We see a pulse of about 2ft swell from the SE, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind turns light offshore from the WSW, and the report says it’s clean. It’s not big, but it’s the best we get all window. The energy reading jumps to 62, which is still weak, but it’s something. Later that afternoon it drops back to nothing, so you’ve got a brief window.

We get another little flicker on the afternoon of Sunday the 12th with a clean, light wind and a small SE swell, but again, it’s tiny. Then things get a bit weird on Monday the 13th – a pulse of about 5ft swell from the ENE but with a short 6-second period, and a strong cross-onshore wind. The combined energy hits 157, which is moderate, but with that wind and short period, it’s going to be choppy and messy. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Not one for the foam board crew.

The rest of the second week is more of the same: small, underpowered, and mostly blown out or cross-shore. There are a few mornings with a clean offshore breeze on the 16th and 17th, but the swell is short-period and not generating any real push. It’s a grim outlook, but that’s how it goes sometimes – a blank run is more normal for this area when the weather patterns stall. Don’t hold your breath; just watch the charts.

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.

Laundromats is 56 km (35 miles) from the city of Elizabeth City. If you plan a vacation in North Carolina, look for hotels and other accommodation in Elizabeth City. Elizabeth City has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
