The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Laredo.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is looking flat and mostly lifeless. We’re talking about a long, dry gap right from the start. There’s no real surf to speak of for the first big chunk of the forecast. The energy levels are just too weak, with the combined swell energy barely ticking over – for example, on the morning of August 1st it’s a paltry 39 (weak energy), and it just doesn’t get going.
It’s not until the afternoon of Sunday, August 9th that we finally see a flicker of life. The swell pushes up to 4ft from the NW, with a period around 10 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 328 (moderate wave energy), and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NNW. It’s still gonna be pretty ordinary, but it’s the best we’ve got. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
That Sunday afternoon is the only real standout, and even then, it’s not a barnstormer. The size is a bit much for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s a session. The Monday morning after that, the 10th of August, drops back down to 3ft with a cross-on wind, so it’s back to the drawing board. The rest of the window is just tiny dribbles of swell with no power to back them up.
Honestly, for a sheltered spot like Laredo, this kind of blank run isn’t too unusual. It tends not to stay this way forever, but right now, the only date worth circling is the afternoon of the 9th. Keep your eyes peeled for forecast changes.
Stay frothy.

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.
