The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Laredo.
We’re looking at a bit of a mixed bag over the next sixteen days. The good news is there are several windows where the swell and wind line up nicely. The water is currently sitting at a balmy 73°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
The real standout looks like Monday morning, the 31st of August. Expect some real clean surf with a decent NW swell of 5ft and solid wave energy (446). The kicker is the glassy wind – literally zero wind out of the NNW, so the surface will be like a mirror. This will handle beautifully for everyone from intermediates upwards.
Friday the 4th of September is another one to circle. It’s a classic morning session with a 4ft NW groundswell. The period is a long 14 seconds, meaning proper energy and shape, and it’s glassy again from a light NE breeze. The combined energy is strong (624), so expect some punch but with clean, open faces.
Before that, you’ll want to make the most of early next week. After Monday, conditions get a bit messy with onshore winds and smaller swell through Tuesday and Wednesday. There is a long gap of poor-quality surf from the 1st through the 3rd. After that, the wind shifts and we start to see better windows.
Further out, Sunday morning the 13th of September looks promising, with a solid 4ft NW swell and 11-second period, under glassy conditions from a light NNE breeze. The energy is moderate (604), but the clean conditions will make it worth a paddle.
Later in the run, the 11th and 12th of September offer some surfable but unremarkable conditions, mostly clean and cross-off winds but nothing to get too excited about. The swell is there, but it’s ordinary.
If you want the pick of the bunch: Monday 31 August morning is your top call. Clear skies, glassy water, and a solid NW swell. Second best is Friday 4 September morning for that long-period groundswell with perfect wind.
Stay sharp out there.
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.
