Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what this stretch looks like for us. It ain't gonna be firing every day, but there’s a couple of windows worth pointing your van towards.
First thing you’ll notice, the water is cooking at 72°F, which is a solid 6°F above the norm for this time of year. That’s a big anomaly, so you can definitely leave the steamer at home.
Right now, we got a long gap of quiet days. The first pulse shows up early Friday the 3rd—a 4ft NW swell with a 12-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is 298 (moderate), but honestly, it’s just okay. Not a waste, but nothing special. Then we hit a dead zone. Saturday the 4th through Wednesday the 9th? Wind is onshore, choppy, or just flat. That’s nearly a week where you’re better off fixing your fins.
Things start to get a little more interesting Thursday the 9th afternoon with a clean, moderate offshore wind from the west at 12 mph, but the swell is barely 1ft. Not worth wetting a wetsuit.
The real shift comes around Friday the 10th. The energy climbs to 127, with a 2ft NW groundswell at 12 seconds, and it's clean. Still small, but cleaner. Saturday the 11th morning is similar with a moderate offshore wind cleaning up a 2ft wave.
The clear winner is Tuesday, July 14th morning. We’ve got 4ft of clean NW groundswell at that lovely 12-second interval. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WNW at just 6 mph, making for a glassy surface. The combined energy hits 420 (moderate-strong), so there’s some real muscle in the water. Laredo is a sheltered break, and that NW direction is right on the money. It’s a consistent, beginner-friendly spot, but expect crowds often—get in the water early if you want a clean peak.
Looking further out, Saturday the 18th morning offers a 5ft NW swell, glassy with 5 mph winds, and an energy of 367. That’s surfable. By the afternoon it jumps to 7ft with cross-shore winds and a big energy spike of 654 (strong). That’s a lot of water moving, but with a short 9-second period, it could get a bit lumpy and is only for the experienced guys at that size.
Bottom line: Tuesday July 14th morning is your best bet. The Saturday the 18th morning is a promising backup, though it’s further out and less certain. Everything else? A flat spell you can sleep through.
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.
