Table - best surf conditions forecast for Laredo over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ over the next couple weeks.
First up, water temps are sitting at 73°F but that’s a full 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s gonna feel like a bath. Problem is, for the next 13 days, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. We’re talkin’ a long dry spell from Monday July 13 right through to Saturday July 26. Swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, short period, and the energy is weak – most readings are down in the double digits, with combined energy barely cracking 94. Conditions are clean enough at times, but there’s simply no push. It’s a real stretch of flatness.
The first real sign of life shows up on Sunday July 26 at Laredo. We finally get a little bump of NW swell hitting 3ft to 3ft, with periods around 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 121 (moderate) and gets even better to 146 in the afternoon. Wind is offshore from the WNW in the morning, then cross-off, so it’ll be clean. The waves are still ordinary, but at least they’re surfable. This is about as good as it gets in the whole run. The break is a sheltered beginner spot, so even though it’s small, it’ll be rideable for those just starting out. The NW swell direction is right on for the optimum at Laredo.
Monday July 27 keeps the trend going with another 3ft NW swell, 8-second period, morning offshore from the NNW, and combined energy at 122. Clean again. Tuesday morning still has a little waist-high leftover, but the energy drops off fast after that.
So really, the standout is Sunday July 26 and Monday July 27. That’s your window. The rest is a whole lot of nothing. It’s been a quiet stretch, but these things never last forever – forecasts 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.
