Table - best surf conditions forecast for Laundromats over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Laundromats for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, this is a rough stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a bust, with the first bit of surf that even gets a mention not showing up until well into the second week. You're looking at a solid week of flat or garbage conditions before we see any sign of life.
For the first week, from Wednesday the 8th through to the 18th, it's a total write-off. Tiny swell, weak energy (74), and cross-onshore winds are the main story. There's a brief moment on the morning of Thursday the 9th where it goes glassy with a light easterly, but with only 1ft of weak ESE swell, it's barely a ripple. Don't bother.
The only real glimmer in this whole forecast comes around Sunday the 19th. The morning session is the standout. We get a clean 4ft swell coming from the S, with a light offshore wind out of the W. The energy is still pretty weak (53), and the period is a super short 4 seconds, so the shape isn't going to be anything special and it'll be a bit fat and slow. But after days of nothing, clean lines with offshore wind will feel like a gift from the surf gods. That 4ft is fine for intermediate surfers, not too big at all. Don't expect a crowd though, because honestly, who else is gonna be checking this spot on a forecast like this?
After that, it gets messy again. Monday the 20th we see a pulse of moderate energy swell (105), but it's all cross-onshore and onshore winds through to the 21st, making a mess of things. There's a clean window on Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd with offshore winds, but the swell is tiny.
So, if you're desperate, the morning of July 19th is your only real shot. Don't hold your breath for anything else.

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.
