The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Let's call a spade a spade – the outlook for Laundromats over the next 16 days is a fizzer. There's no real surf worth paddling for.

It all starts on Saturday, July 25th with a weak 3ft NE windswell. Light rain and a 15 km/h cross-shore wind from the NNE blow it out. Water temp is a warm 80°, dead average for the season. The combined energy is a low 98. It's just poor.

From Sunday the 26th through Monday the 27th, it gets worse. Swell drops to 2ft to 2ft from the ESE with a 8-second period. Onshore and cross-onshore winds keep everything messy. Energy numbers are puny, down to 49.

Tuesday the 28th morning is glassy and clean with a tiny 1ft ESE swell and a cross-offshore breeze, but only 32 energy. That afternoon, a fresh 30 km/h southerly kicks up a lumpy 3ft windswell with a shocking 4-second period. That's kite-surfing weather, not surfing.

The lowest point is Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th. Wednesday morning is clean with a 3ft SE swell, but only 78 energy. The afternoon of the 29th is the only session in the whole run described as "surfable," with a 1ft clean ESE swell – still a 1 out of 10 day. Friday the 31st sees a slight bump to 3ft NE swell, but the energy is still in the 100s, and the winds are cross or cross-on.

Then it's a flat, hopeless slog. From August 1st right through to the 9th, the swell barely exists. A few glassy mornings on the 3rd and 6th, and some clean offshore wind on the 8th, but the swell is 0.3ft to 2ft of junk. Energy values are mostly under 70.

The only standouts? None to speak of. If you're bored and own a log, the cleanest options are the afternoon of Wednesday July 29th or the morning of Saturday August 8th. Expect ankle-biters.

It's a dry spell, and for this area, that's normal. The models might shift, but for now, don't bother.

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.
