The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at the outlook for Laredo. We’ve got a long 16-day window, but don’t get your hopes up just yet. The first few days are a write-off, with Saturday 25 July barely registering a ripple and some risky storm clouds overhead. There’s a proper gap of nothing worth paddling out for until we get a couple of specific windows that actually show some promise.
The first real chance comes on Monday 27 July morning. The water is sitting at a balmy 74°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The swell pushes up to 5ft out of the NNW, with a long period of 11 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is a solid 425 (moderate wave energy). The wind is glassy – flat calm – which will have the surface looking like a mirror. The break is sheltered from the NW, but the swell direction is a solid match. For a beginner spot, this is about as good as it gets around here. Keep in mind, with a 5ft swell, it’s not too big for learners, and the long period will mean nice shaped waves, but the sets will be a bit spaced out. It’s a consistent spot, so you won’t be waiting forever. Crowds are possible, as it’s often busy.
The next standout is far out, on Monday 03 August morning. This one looks even better. The swell is 5ft out of the NNW, with a period of 11 seconds again. The combined energy jumps to 543 (strong wave energy). The wind is glassy once more, offering perfect conditions. This is the best looking session in the whole forecast, but it’s a long way off, so call it a promising but less certain bet. The 5ft is on the upper edge for beginners, but still very manageable for everyone else.
The rest of the days are a mix of onshore junk, cross-shore chop, or tiny weak waves. The morning of 1 August has a glassy 2ft wave with moderate energy (149), but it’s a shadow of the two main events. Honestly, if you’re in the area, pencil in that Monday 27 July morning session, and keep an eye on the forecast for that Monday 03 August window.
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.
