Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Laredo has in store for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you, it's a lean patch.
To be honest, the whole 16-day window is a tough one. There are no standout days, no real honkers to get excited about. The first proper chance to even think about a paddle is on Thursday the 10th of July, but even then, the swell is tiny, around 2ft from the NW with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (69). The wind is light and cross-shore, so it'll be clean but gutless. The whole run from now until then is a write-off with barely any energy or terrible wind.
The best of a bad bunch looks like Sunday morning the 12th of July. The winds go glassy – dead calm – which is always a treat. But you're still looking at that small 2ft NW swell with a period of 10 seconds. The energy is still low (72). It’ll be a glassy, small wave session, good for a beginner to get some practice in or for a longboarder to just enjoy being on the water. Crowds are possible here, which for tiny waves feels a bit much. The water temp is sitting at 73°F, which is about 6° warmer than normal – that's very unusual for this time of year, so you might not even need a spring suit.
For the rest of the first week, expect similar conditions: tiny NW swells between 0.7ft and 2ft, mostly clean with light cross-offshore breezes. Nothing has any punch. The swell direction from the NW matches what the spot likes, but there's just not enough of it to do anything with.
Looking into the second week, it stays bleak. The best energy we see is on Wednesday the 22nd of July, with a 4ft NW swell and a period of only 6 seconds. The combined energy finally bumps up a bit to 119, which is weak to moderate. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’s not blown out. But that short period means the waves will be weak and crumbly. Still, for a sheltered beginner spot getting that direction, it might be the most rideable wave of the whole outlook. It’s not a strong recommendation by any means, just the least bad option.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, you’re better off leaving the board in the car. The setup with the onshore winds and small, weak swell looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Forecasts can change, and it never stays flat forever, but this stretch is a real bummer.

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.
