The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on the waves.
We’re looking at a real quiet start for Laredo. From Tuesday the 28th all the way through to the morning of Thursday the 6th of August, the surf is flat, small, and mostly poor. The combined swell energy is barely a whisper, with numbers in the 20s, 30s, and 40s. There’s a few glassy moments, like the morning of Thursday the 30th of July, but the swell is only 0.7m from the NW, and the water is a touch warmer than normal at 23°. It’s just not enough to get excited about.
The first real chance of a wave comes on the morning of Thursday the 6th of August. The swell picks up to 1.3m from the NNW, but it’s a short period of 6 seconds, and the energy is only 123. It’s glassy and clean, so it’s surfable, but it’s nothing special. The wind stays light and cross-shore through the week, keeping the surface messy.
The highlight of the whole forecast is hiding in the second week. On the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August, Laredo gets a solid 3.0m swell from the NW, with a nice 11-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 2143. That’s some serious power. The wind is glassy, dead calm, so it’ll be clean as a whistle. But heads up – this is big surf, over 2.5m, so it’s for experienced surfers only. The afternoon holds at 2.5m, but the wind turns cross-on and messy, so the morning is the clear winner.
After that, it drops back into small, poor conditions. There’s a small window on the afternoon of Sunday the 9th of August with 0.8m and a long 12-second period from the NW, with a gentle offshore wind, making it clean. The energy is 210. It’s surfable, but not a standout.
So, the one true standout is the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August. Big, clean, offshore swell at Laredo, but only for the crew who can handle it.
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.
