The Lowdown

Alright, let's get into it. We're looking at Las Redes, a sandbar spot that's fairly consistent and works best with a WSW swell. The water temps are sitting at 79°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you won't be needing a thick wetsuit.

The problem is, for the next couple of weeks, we're staring down the barrel of a real flat spell. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the energy is weak. Honestly, there are no standout days in this 16-day window. The combined swell energy is almost always in the low double digits, like 45 or 47, which is weak. It's a tough run.

Let's break it down. Starting Wednesday afternoon, August 12th, we're looking at a tiny 1.0 ft swell from the WNW with a weak cross-shore wind. Not worth paddling out. Thursday and Friday mornings, the 13th and 14th, are clean enough with a light offshore breeze, but the swell is just 2 ft with a short period of 9 seconds. It's not going to wrap in with any power. The afternoons get choppy, and the weekend is even worse.

We go through a long stretch of tiny, weak swells. The 17th and 18th see swells drop to 1 ft and 1.0 ft, with combined energy down to single digits. The 19th and 20th are even worse. There's a brief moment on the morning of August 27th where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is still only 1.0 ft from the WNW. That's a long wait for a micro-session.

The bottom line is that the entire 16-day forecast is a bust for surf. There's nothing that breaks the 2 ft mark with any real period or favorable wind to make it worthwhile. No standouts, no hidden gems. It's a blank run, and for a spot like this, it's not that unusual. The forecasts can change, but right now, I'd say keep the boards in the car and wait for a better week.

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.
