What's up, it's Rusty. Let's be real about Laredo for the next couple weeks.
You're gonna have to be patient. There's nothing worth paddling for until Monday the 13th of July, and even then it's only 3 feet from the NW with a weak 8-second interval and cross-onshore breeze.
The first sign of real juice comes Friday the 17th of July afternoon when the swell picks up to 5 feet from the NW, but with a short 7-second period. Combined energy is moderate at 193. Winds are cross-offshore so it'll be cleaner than you'd think for that size.
But the real standout is Sunday the 19th of July. Morning arrivals hit 6 feet from the NW, and by the afternoon it's 7 feet from the NNW. Combined energy jumps from 405 to a strong 531. Winds stay cross-offshore, so wave faces should have some shape.
Because the swell is over 5 feet, this is for experienced surfers only. Newer folks should sit this one out. The short 8-second period means it's a windswell, so expect punchy, steep drops and maybe a little bump on the surface, but not the clean groundswell lines. The direction is NNW, and the optimum is NW, so it's a good match for this sheltered spot. Crowds are "often," so you'll have company.
That Sunday the 19th is the clear winner. The water temp is 72°F, which is 6°F warmer than usual – that's a big anomaly.
Before that, you've got a long stretch of flat or weak, poor surf starting now and running through the 12th. The 20th and beyond drop off again, with some 5 feet on Monday but fading fast.
So circle Sunday the 19th of July. 7 feet from the NNW, cross-offshore wind, and the strongest energy of the whole run. That's the call.
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.
