G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have an honest look at Laundromats over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, and for a good stretch, it’s pretty flat out there. The opening days—Sunday July 5th into Monday July 6th—have tiny swell, maybe 1ft to 1ft from the ESE with a short period around 8–9 seconds. Combined energy is weak, sitting between 23 and 27 (low numbers). Winds are light to moderate, so the water’s clean at times, but there’s just nothing to surf. No recommendation from me. That flat spell runs right through to Thursday July 10th.
Friday July 10th morning finally shows a pulse of 2ft from the SE, period around 8 seconds, with a moderate offshore wind from the west—clean conditions. Combined energy is 67 (still weak), and the comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary.” It’s not exactly pumping, but it’s the first real chance to get wet. Crowds are possible here. Water temperature’s running 81°, about a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Saturday July 11th drops back to tiny again—0.7ft ESE—so that Friday window is a brief one.
Sunday July 12th morning bumps up to 3ft from the ENE, period a short 6 seconds, with a moderate offshore from the west keeping it clean. Combined energy is 85 (still weak). Another “surfable but very ordinary” call. After that, it’s back to small, messy spells through mid-week.
The best on offer—and by that I mean the standout in a pretty quiet run—is Saturday July 18th. We see 5ft to 6ft from the south, period around 5–6 seconds, so short-period windswell. The wind is cross-off from the SSW to WSW, keeping it clean. Combined energy climbs to 170 and 163 (moderate). That’s the biggest swell of the period, but heads-up: over 5ft means it’s getting too big for beginners, and at 6ft it’s more for experienced surfers. The short period means less shape, but with offshore winds it’ll hold up okay. Crowds are possible. Water temp still around 81°, so a touch warmer than average.
After that, Sunday July 19th and Monday July 20th see a massive drop—back to 0.3ft from the east with a very long period around 12–13 seconds, but combined energy is just 3. Not worth paddling out.
Worth noting: from the 5th to the 10th, there’s about a five-day gap with no real surf. The forecast confidence drops for that Saturday the 18th window being a week and a half out, so treat it as promising but not locked in.
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.
