Alright, let’s have a look at what’s coming up over the next couple of weeks at Laundromats.

Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty grim stretch of days ahead. There’s just nothing that’s going to get the blood pumping. The first recommendation doesn’t even show up for a while, and even then, it’s a real struggle to find anything worthwhile.

We’re looking at a whole heap of flat to barely-rideable days to start. The first few days – from the 10th to the 14th – are a write-off. Tiny, weak, and messy. You’re basically looking at flat spells or junk. The swell energy is barely registering, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore. Just leave the boards in the shed.

The first hint of something, but it’s not pretty, comes on the morning of Wednesday the 15th of July. There’ll be a tiny 2 ft swell out of the E, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind goes light and cross-off from the WSW, which will clean it up. But it’s small and weak – combined energy is only 50, so it's barely a ripple. It’s “surfable” in the loosest sense, but you’d be scratching for something to ride. Not a stand-out by any measure.

After that, it’s back to tiny, mostly clean but gutless conditions for a few days with more junk on the 17th and 18th.

The next real possibility is the morning of Wednesday the 22nd of July. The swell picks up a bit, with a 4 ft SE groundswell pushing in with a longer 9-second period. The energy jumps to 197, so there’s some proper weight behind it. Winds are light cross-on from the ENE, so it’ll be a bit bumpy but not horrible. This is probably the best on offer for the whole outlook, but it’s still a long way off and those winds could easily mess it up. For a point break or reef, a long-period SE swell can link up nice, but at a beach break it can be a bit straight and hard to read.

After that, the 23rd morning looks interesting in a completely different way. A tiny 2 ft SE swell with glassy conditions – light S wind, no chop. The energy is still low at 67, so it’s more of a longboard or small-wave fun session than anything with power. It’s clean as a whistle, though.

The final few days of the outlook are mostly clean but tiny and weak again.

So, looking at the whole 16 days, the standout – if you can call it that – is the morning of the 22nd of July for the strongest swell of the period, but you'll want to check the wind closer to the day. The other chance is the glassy morning on the 23rd for a clean but tiny session.

The water temp here is 82°F, which is about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing too wild.

Sorry there’s no epic swell on the cards this time. Some stretches are just like this. Keep an eye on it, though – forecasts can change.

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.
