The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s on the table for Laredo.
The water is about average for the season, no surprise there. This is a sheltered, beginner-friendly spot, so it’s good for learning, but the swell only really comes from the northwest.
The first few days are basically flat. Thursday and Friday mornings are glassy, but the swell is only 2ft, and the combined energy is weak (39–65). Not worth a paddle. Saturday morning picks up to 4ft with a really long 14-second period, combined energy 529 (moderate), but the wind is onshore, so it’s choppy. The afternoon gets bigger to 5ft, but still messy.
Sunday morning is the first real standout. Swell is 4ft from the NW, period 12 seconds, and offshore wind from the west at 12 mph. Clean conditions, combined energy 445 (moderate). The direction matches the optimum swell, so it’s the best bet in the first week. This spot is consistent, but crowds are often, so get there early.
The next few days are just average. Monday through Wednesday have surfable waves from 2ft to 5ft, but nothing to write home about. The big one lands on Monday, 14th September. The morning is glassy, with a 6ft NW swell, 14-second period, and combined energy of 1387 (strong). That’s a serious groundswell, pushing into expert territory. The wind is calm, so it’ll be clean. The afternoon is a bit cross-shore, but the morning is the best of the whole outlook.
Tuesday, 15th September, also looks solid. The morning has a 6ft NW swell, 13-second period, offshore wind, and combined energy of 1011 (strong). Another clean, powerful day. After that, the surf drops off through the rest of the week.
If you want the best, hit Sunday morning, 6th September, for the first week, and Monday morning, 14th September, for the second week. The rest is mostly small or average.
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.
