Table - best surf conditions forecast for Laredo over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break it down for Laredo.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet start. We’re looking at a long dry spell with hardly any surf worth paddling for until the Tuesday of July 21st. That’s about ten days of tiny, weak swell and poor conditions, so leave the board in the car for now.
The water’s sitting at roughly 73°, which is a lot warmer than normal for this time of year – over three degrees above average, so it’s going to feel like a warm bath.
The one real highlight pops on the afternoon of Tuesday, July 21st. The swell bumps up to about 8ft from the NW with a 9-second period, and the combined energy hits 779 – that’s strong, powerful stuff. We’ve got clean conditions with a light cross-off breeze. Now, at 8ft, that’s a solid size, especially for Laredo, which is a sheltered beginner-friendly spot. This is for experienced surfers only. The break is Laredo, and crowds are listed as “often”, so expect some company. The morning of that same day has a more manageable 4ft with clean cross-off wind and moderate energy (181), which would be a good session for those with some experience.
The day after, July 22nd morning, still has 8ft but with a cross-on wind and cloud cover, so it’ll be messy. That afternoon drops to about 6ft with a choppy cross-onshore – not great. By July 23rd, it’s back to tiny glassy conditions with only 2ft of weak swell.
So the only real window to get excited about is that Tuesday, July 21st – the afternoon is definitely the best offer we’ve got in the whole 16 days.

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.
