The Lowdown

Right, let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. We’ve got a classic flat spell on our hands, and to be honest, the models are showing nothing but dribble for the foreseeable future. It’s looking like a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly messy surf at best.

We’re talking about Las Redes (Spain) here, and it’s a sandbar set-up that’s fairly exposed but needs a bit of love. The first solid week is a write-off. From Saturday the 8th through to the 21st, the swell is tiny – we’re looking at nothing over 3ft, and most of it is in the 0.3ft to 2ft range. Combine that with a lot of cross and cross-on winds, and you’ve got your classic flat and bumpy beach. The energy readings are pathetically weak, often in the single digits or low tens, like 38 (weak) or 81 (weak) on the 13th. There’s a touch of cleaner morning wind here and there, like on the 13th and 14th, but with waves that small, it’s not going to save the day. It’s going to be a whole lot of nothing.

We do get a little pulse of energy on Saturday the 22nd, with the swell jumping to 5ft from the SE with a short, crumbly 6-second period. The energy reading jumps to 198 (moderate), which is the first sign of life we’ve seen. But the wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it’s going to be a lumpy, disorganised mess. That’s not a surf day; that’s a day for something else if you’re keen.

The following morning, Sunday the 23rd, has a similar story: 5ft from the SE, but again with a short period and a cross-on wind that’ll chop it up. There’s a clean window early on the 22nd, but the wave direction is from the SE which is not the optimum WSW, so it won't be holding shape well on this bank.

Honestly, if you’re desperate for a splash, the only thing that looks even remotely interesting is the odd clean morning with a light offshore, but the swell is just not there. The water is running warm, about 77° on the 8th, which is a solid 5° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a beautiful place to be, just not for surfing.

Long-range, the models are hinting at something for the end of the second week, but it’s a long way out and about as reliable as a weather forecast in a hurricane. It’s a bit of a bummer, but the good news is the consistency of the spot is rated fairly consistent, so it tends not to stay this dead for long. Forecasts can change. Keep your eyes peeled, but for now, I’d be looking for a different hobby for a bit.

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.
