The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch is a real lean patch for Las Redes. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but honestly, the first week and a half is nothing to write home about. There’s a big gap of days with barely anything rideable, especially for a wave count.
The water’s sitting at 78°F, which is a whopping 6°F warmer than what’s normal for this time of year – that’s pretty unusual, like a warm bath.
Tuesday morning, August 25th, is about as good as it gets in the early days. That’s your standout. It’s tiny, with a 3ft swell rolling in from the west at 8 seconds. Not much punch, but the wind is a light offshore from the northwest at 3 mph, making it clean. The combined swell energy is a weak 102, so it’s gentle. It’s a beginner-friendly sandbar, and it’s fairly consistent, but you might see a few others out since crowds are “sometimes” a thing. If you’re after a paddle and some fun, this is the one.
Friday morning, August 28th, has a similar vibe. A 3ft swell from the west-northwest, also with an offshore wind from the north at 12 mph. Moderate energy at 119, so it’s got a tiny bit more push, but the waves are still pretty ordinary.
After that, it drops off hard. From the 29th of August all the way through to the end of the first week of September, it’s mostly flat or blown out. There’s a period where the swell is under 2ft for days, and the wind is often cross or onshore. Not worth suiting up.
Then, around the 7th and 8th of September, we see a late blast of energy. Swells from the west climb to 3ft – 4ft, with a very long period of 14 to 15 seconds. The energy jumps up to a strong 555 on the Tuesday morning, September 8th. That’s a proper groundswell. But here’s the kicker – the wind is a strong cross-shore from the east-southeast, blowing 12-19 mph, making it choppy and messy. For a sandbar, that long-period swell will likely close out or be hard to manage with that wind. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. All those days are rated as poor surf conditions.
So, for the whole 16 days, the only real bright spot is that Tuesday morning, August 25th. Everything else is a wash. Keep your board waxed and hope the forecasts shift.

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.
