The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been lookin’ over the surf for the next 16 days here. Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and there’s hardly a moment worth paddlin’ out for. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off – no recommendable sessions at all. It’s one of those blank runs that’s more normal for this area, especially when the wave energy stays weak. The only break on the radar is Las Redes, a sandbar setup that’s a beginner-friendly spot, but it’s just not gettin’ the goods.
The water is a standout though: 77°F, which is a massive 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s really unusual, so you’ll feel that bathwater as soon as you dip in.
The first week, from Thursday 6 August right through to the end of the week, is all poor surf conditions. Tiny swell heights – mostly 0.7 ft to 2 ft – with short periods around 5 to 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is pathetic, almost always single-digit or low double-digit values (like 38, 27, 5) – that’s weak energy. Wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, often a gentle to moderate breeze, so the surface is choppy and messy. Saturday 9 August shows a glassy morning on the 10th, but with only 3 ft of short-period swell (6 seconds) and energy at 60, it’s still not worth the trip. The swell direction is WNW or W, which is not the optimum WSW for this spot.
The second week, from 13 August onward, is a little more of the same. There’s a slight bump on the morning of 13 August – 3 ft from WNW with a period of 9 seconds and energy jumping to 148 – that’s moderate wave energy. But the wind is onshore from the SSW at 6 mph, so it’s blown out. The rest of the week fades out, with swell never hitting 3 ft and energy dropping back to weak numbers. The only clean-ish moments are the cross-off winds on the morning of 15 August (NW 12 mph) and 20 August (ENE 9 mph), but with swell heights of 2 ft and 1.0 ft, it’s just not surfable. The period stays short, mostly 4 to 8 seconds, so no real groundswell energy.
There’s no standout here. Not a single day offers decent waves, good wind, or any consistency. If you’re a kite surfer, the beach setup and onshore winds might be more interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a flat spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home.
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.
Las Redes is 5 km (3 miles) from the city of Rota. If you plan a holiday in Andalucia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Rota. Rota has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
