The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on offer for Laredo.
The start is a bit of a dud. We're looking at a few days of small, weak, or messy surf before anything good pops up. Don't bother with the first part of the week.
Things finally get going on Thursday the 17th. The morning is clean with a 5ft NW swell, a 13-second period, and a light offshore breeze. The wave energy is moderate at 558, so there's some grunt. The afternoon stays clean with a 5ft NW swell. For a sheltered, beginner-friendly spot like Laredo, this is a solid, clean day.
The real standout is the morning of Saturday the 19th. We've got a glassy 7ft swell from the NNW with a 13-second period. The wind is dead calm. The combined energy is a hefty 1752 (strong wave energy). That's a serious session for Laredo. At this size, it's getting a bit big for beginners, but the conditions will be absolutely perfect. Expect crowds here.
Monday the 21st is another winner. Both the morning and afternoon are clean with a 6ft swell, a 13-second period, and strong energy readings (1066 and 1123). The morning is glassy again, and the afternoon has a light cross-offshore breeze. This is another top-quality day.
After that, the swell fades and the winds turn onshore, making things pretty poor for the rest of the period. The very end shows a tiny blip of energy, but the conditions aren't there.
So, for the lowdown: Laredo is a sheltered beginner spot, and the water is a touch warmer than average for the time of year. Skip the first few days. The absolute best session is the glassy Saturday morning the 19th with that strong 7ft NNW swell. Monday the 21st is also a cracker.
Stay stoked.

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.
