The Lowdown
Alright, let me talk you through what we've got lined up over the next couple of weeks here at Laredo. It's a quiet story overall, with a bit of a dry spell kicking things off. The action really starts on Monday morning.
Monday, July 27th, is your real standout. We're talking a clean 5ft swell pushing in from the NNW, with a solid 10-second period holding it together. The wind is going to be glassy–dead flat–so the surface will be like a mirror. The water temp is about 74°F, which is nearly 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so it's much warmer than usual. This spot is a beginner-friendly setup, so that 5ft of swell is just right for a fun session without it being too heavy. It's a sheltered spot, so it doesn't take the full brunt of the ocean, and it's consistent, so you'll have waves coming through. The combined energy sits at a solid 494, giving the waves a decent punch.
After that Monday morning, it's pretty much downhill. Through the rest of the week and into early August, we are looking at tiny, weak swells, mostly under 3ft, with poor directions and onshore wind. There's a stretch of several days where it's hardly worth taking your board off the rack.
We do get another flicker of life later on. Around August 6th and 7th, another pulse of energy rolls in. On Thursday the 6th, you get a clean 4ft to 3ft swell from the NW with a light offshore breeze in the early hours. By Friday the 7th, the morning shows a 4ft+ swell from the NNW with clean offshore wind again. The combined energy on Friday morning is a moderate 307. It's surfable and will look clean, but the quality won't touch that prime window at the end of July. These are promising, but we're far enough out that it's less certain. If you've only got time for one session, make it Monday, July 27th, first light.
Keep the wax warm, this is Rusty signing off.

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.
