Las Redes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. Gotta be honest with you, this stretch coming up is a tough one. We’re looking at pretty much a full 16 days of flat to tiny, messy surf. The water here is about average for this time of year, so no complaints on that front, but the waves are another story.

The first few days are a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly 0.7ft to 2ft, and the wind is all over the place. On Sunday the 6th, we’ve got a bit of a pulse in the afternoon hitting 3ft, but it’s short period and cross-on, so you’re looking at bumpy, weak lines. The combined energy is just 37 (weak), so it’s not going to be worth getting wet.

Monday the 7th is a bit cleaner with the cross-off wind in the morning, but the swell is still pitiful. Honestly, the next big gap of nothing continues all the way through to the middle of the month. There’s no standout action here. The combined energy values stay in the teens and twenties for days on end.

The first real sign of life comes in the second week. On Sunday the 13th afternoon, we see a little bump to 4ft from the ESE, and the combined energy hits 111 (moderate). But the wind is onshore, so it’ll be messy. The next day, Monday the 14th afternoon, is the same deal: 4ft from the SE, with 112 energy, but still cross-on. It’s not good.

The best bet, and I’m scraping the barrel here, is the morning of Saturday the 20th. We get a clean 3ft from the SW, with a nice cross-off wind from the east. The swell period is only 5 seconds though, so it’s a short-period windswell, not a groundswell. The combined energy is 39 (weak). It’s the only clean window in the whole forecast. The sets will be small, a bit disorganized, but with glassy conditions, a longboarder could have a fun little session.

After that, there’s nothing else. The rest of the run is either onshore, tiny, or both. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s pretty normal. You’re better off waiting for the next system.

Rusty.
