The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's look at what Laredo has cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. The water's sitting at a balmy 72°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest rubber.
The next few days are a write-off. Thursday morning has surfable waves at 4 ft from the NNW, but the conditions are ordinary and it's not worth paddling out for. From Thursday afternoon right through to the end of the following week, we're looking at a long, dry spell with tiny, weak, and messy swell. There's a brief glimmer on Sunday the 13th with a morning session that has a 5 ft NW swell and a very long period of 13 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 596, and it's glassy, which would be clean, but the quality isn't quite there to call it a standout. The swell then drops off again through the middle of the week.
The real action, the one you need to circle on your calendar, is that Sunday morning on the 20th of September. We've got a solid 8 ft of NW swell rolling in, with a combined energy of 671 (moderate wave energy) and glassy conditions. It's going to be a fun, punchy day for the average surfer. However, if you're an experienced surfer looking for something truly special, you wake up on Monday the 21st. That's the standout of the whole outlook. Clean, offshore winds from the WNW at just 3 mph, with a thumping 10 ft NNW groundswell with a very long period of 13 seconds. The combined energy is through the roof at 4261 (strong wave energy). This is a powerful, clean swell but at this size, it's only for the experts. The long period will see it standing up nicely at the point and reef setups, but it might close out a bit on the beach breaks. After that, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings still have good, glassy swell in the 6 ft to 7 ft range, but the winds turn cross-onshore in the afternoons.
Looking ahead to the 25th of September, Friday brings another solid pulse of 7 ft NW groundswell with a period of 14 seconds, combined with a gentle offshore wind. The combined energy is strong at 1588 (strong wave energy). This is a promising session for the more experienced crew.
So, to wrap it up: the first week and a half is a total bust. Don't bother. Your best bet is the morning of Sunday the 20th for the everyday surfer, but the absolute standout, the one for the big dogs, is Monday the 21st. After that, Friday the 25th looks like another solid day for the lads 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.
