The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Las Redes.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. For the next 16 days, the surf is gonna be very small and mostly poor. If you’re after a proper session, you’ll have to wait a while, because the first recommendation doesn't pop up until Monday the 25th of August. That’s over a week away with barely a ripple worth mentioning before then. Most of that first week is flat, with tiny, weak swells and onshore or cross-shore winds messing things up. You might see a few knee-high lumps, but nothing that’ll get your heart racing.
The one standout, and really the only time worth paddling out, is the morning of Monday, August 25th. Head to Las Redes for a bit of a pulse. The swell will be coming from the WNW at about 4 ft, with a combined swell energy of 136 – that's moderate energy, so there’s some push there. The period is short at 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly and not super powerful, but the wind will be a light ESE breeze at 6 mph, staying cross-on, which should keep the surface reasonably clean. It’s small enough for beginners, but the short period means it might be a bit messy. The optimum swell for the spot is from the WSW, so the WNW isn't a perfect match, but it’s the best you'll get. You might see a few other fellas out since crowds are only “sometimes” an issue here.
The water temperature is a whopping 79°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – about 7°F above average. That’s very unusual, so you won’t need a thick suit.
The rest of the period after that Monday morning is back to tiny, weak, and mostly choppy. Tuesday the 26th has a little bump, but the afternoon wind swings onshore and kills it. After that, it's just dribble.
So, to be straight with you: there’s one morning – Monday, August 25th – that offers a chance at a fun, small-wave session if you’re desperate. Otherwise, it’s a long, flat blank. For a spot like this, a blank run is pretty normal when the charts look like this.
Rusty.

Information about the Las Redes Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Las Redes provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Las Redes can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Las Redes 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 (Las Redes) 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 Las Redes 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.
