The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's get into what's happening at Laundromats.
First up, the whole 16-day window is a bit of a tough one. We've got a blank run of nothing surfable until the morning of Sunday, September 13th. It’s a long wait before the first real chance.
For that Sunday morning, the 13th, it's our best chance in the whole period – but we're talking about small, weak waves. We've got a 2-foot swell coming from ESE with a period of 10 seconds, which is okay but nothing special. Combined energy is weak at 69. The real positive is the wind – it's light offshore from the WSW, making for clean, glassy conditions. That offshore wind is a huge win. It'll be small and gentle, an intermediate sort of wave. The spot is fairly consistent, so you know there's a chance.
After that, it's slim pickings. The rest of the week is plagued by onshore and cross-onshore winds or just flat, tiny surf. The morning of Wednesday the 16th shows glassy conditions with a tiny 1-foot swell, but no power behind it. Later on, around the 19th and into the 20th, the swell gets a bit of push, hitting up to 4.5 feet from the NNE, but the period drops to a weak 6 seconds, and the wind is a messy cross-shore from the north. It’s not a paddle surf.
Towards the very end of the run, from the 22nd of September onward, the swell size actually cranks up – we’re seeing 6-foot and even 7-foot sets from the ENE, with a moderate to strong combined energy (up to 923), but the wind is blowing a gale straight onshore. It’s going to be a blown-out, lumpy mess. That’s not for surfing; that’s for kite foilers if anyone’s into that. Even the 7-foot swell is way too big for the conditions.
If you have to call a stand-out, it’s that Sunday morning, the 13th, for the clean, gentle waves. The rest of the period is a write-off, honestly. It’s not looking like it’ll stay poor forever, but for now, we’re in a quiet spell.
Stay patient.

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.
