Table - best surf conditions forecast for Laredo over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for our little slice of the coast.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch ahead. We're looking at a long, dry spell with basically no surf worth paddling out for. From now, Saturday the 11th of July, all the way through to the 22nd of July, it's a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak – we're talking combined swell energy values down in the double digits and low triple digits for the most part, barely a ripple. It’s one of those classic summer flat spells, and for a spot like Laredo, which is already sheltered from most swell, that means it's pretty much a glass-off with no waves. The winds are light, and we do see some clean conditions with offshore breezes, especially around the 12th and 13th, but there's just no power behind it. It’s frustrating, I know.
The one glimmer in this entire forecast is a little window that shows up around the 22nd of July. Wednesday morning the 22nd still looks pretty average, with cross-onshore wind and a weak 4ft swell from the north. But by Wednesday afternoon, things take a slight turn for the better. The swell drops to a cleaner 3ft from the northwest, the wind swings around to a cross-offshore breeze from the NNW, and the combined energy jumps up to 173 – that's the only time we see any real moderate energy in the whole period. The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" which, in this context, is the best we’re gonna get. So if you're desperate for a dip, keep an eye on the afternoon of Wednesday the 22nd at Laredo. It won't be world-class, but it's the only thing on the menu.
Don't hold your breath, as after that little blip, it goes straight back to tiny, weak swell for the rest of the period. For the sheer lack of swell and the exposed nature of the beach, there's nothing here that would even interest a kite surfer. This is a proper blank run for the area.
Hang tough, check back in a week or so.
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.
