Table - best surf conditions forecast for Laredo over the next 16 days.
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's get into it.
Alright, things are looking flat for the next two weeks at Laredo. The whole 16-day stretch is a bit of a bust, to be honest. We're looking at a long, dry period with nothing worth getting wet for until the very end. The first real sign of life, and I mean barely a pulse, shows up on Thursday, July 24th.
So, let's get through the quiet bit. From now through Wednesday, July 23rd, it's a total write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and what little energy is there is weak. The combined energy readings are all in the double digits, barely cracking 100 on a good day, which is pretty anaemic. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 73°F, which is 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a real standout, but it doesn't help the waves one bit.
Now, the only date that gets a flicker of interest is Thursday, July 24th on the morning. The swell picks up to 3ft from the NNW with a period of 12 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, and the combined energy jumps to 327 (moderate), so there's finally some actual push behind it. The wind is offshore from the W at 6 mph, keeping things clean. The conditions are described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," so we're not talking about a classic day. The break is sheltered and the optimum swell direction is NW, so that NNW swell is a little off-angle but still the best we've got. The afternoon drops off a bit, with the swell turning to 4ft from the NW but the wind swings cross-off and the scores drop off completely.
Really, there's nothing else to get excited about. The rest of the forecast is just more tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. The break is a consistent beginner spot, so it's a shame to see it so quiet. But that's the way she goes sometimes.
The takeaway? If you're desperate for a paddle, the morning of Thursday, July 24th is the only window. It's not going to be epic, but it might be the only wave you see in two weeks. Keep an eye on the forecasts, things can change.
Rusty.

Information about the Laredo Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Laredo provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Laredo can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Laredo 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 (Laredo) 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 Laredo 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.
