The Lowdown

Yo, what’s up, it’s Rusty. Let’s get straight into it for Las Redes.

Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – we’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch here at Las Redes for the next 16 days. Honestly, the pickings are slim, and there’s not a single day that jumps out as a standout. The whole forecast period is basically a flat spell, so if you’re itching to paddle out, you might be better off waiting for a change in the weather pattern.

Let me walk you through it. Right now, starting on Friday the 21st, we’ve got nothing happening. The water temperature is sitting around average for this time of year, which is fine, but there’s just no push. On Friday, we’re looking at a tiny 2ft wind swell from the west with a short period of 5 seconds – that’s just weak, weak energy (32). Wind is cross-shore from the W at 6 mph, but the waves are just… poor. It’s not worth your time.

Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd are the same story – we’ve got a gap of a few days with nothing worth mentioning. Swell heights stay under 2ft, and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy. The combined swell energy stays in the low double digits or even less. It’s frustrating.

Monday the 24th sees a slight bump in the swell, with 3ft to 4ft from the west, but the period is still short at 8-9 seconds. The energy picks up a bit (140-173), but the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore from the SSW or SW, so it’s messy. Not the clean stuff we want.

From Tuesday the 25th right through to the start of September, it’s more of the same – tiny, weak swells, often under 2ft, with periods under 10 seconds. There are a few moments of clean conditions – like Wednesday morning the 26th, or Saturday morning the 29th, where the wind is light and cross-offshore – but the waves are just too small to ride. You might see a ripple, but nothing to get excited about.

Even the longer-period swell we see on Sunday the 23rd (15 seconds) is only 0.6ft. That’s a groundswell, but it’s totally flat. And on the 28th, we get a 13-second period swell, but again, only 0.9ft. No power there.

The first week of September doesn’t bring any relief. There’s a brief window on the 4th and 5th with a little 3ft swell from the ESE, but the period is short (5 seconds) and the wind is offshore. Still, the energy is weak (65). On Saturday the 5th, there’s a moment of glassy conditions with a tiny 0.3ft swell – that’s just for the longboarders if you’re desperate.

So, bottom line: there’s no good surf in this 16-day window. The breaks at Las Redes are fairly consistent in general, so this kind of flat run is a bit of a bummer, but it happens. Keep an eye on the forecast – it tends not to stay poor for long. Until next time, I’m 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.
