The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the entire 16-day window is a bit of a tough one. The forecast is showing a long run of what I’d call "poor surf conditions", day after day. There’s no point in sugar-coating it – the first proper surfable day is a long way off. We’re looking at a gap of nearly two weeks of flat or near-flat, choppy, and generally uninviting water before we see anything worth paddling out for.
The only spot on the radar is Las Redes (sandbar). It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent little sandbar that’s fairly exposed, with an optimum swell from the WSW. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Wednesday, August 13th. The early session is looking clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the east. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the west, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is a weak 65 (combined energy of all swells directed here). It’s still got a "poor surf conditions" label on it, but honestly, in this run, that morning is the closest we get to a standout. The wind is right, the water is clean. For a beginner on a longboard, there might be a few fun little waist-high runners.
That’s about it. The rest of the days are a mix of light onshore winds, choppy afternoon sea breezes, and tiny swell directions that don’t match the break’s optimum. The 3 ft morning on the 5th of August is clean, but the swell period is only 5 seconds, so it’s just windswell bump. The 2 ft morning on the 8th of August is similar. Nothing has any real power.
Given the lack of consistent, quality surf, and the fact that most of the wind is either cross or cross-onshore, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the vast majority of the forecast period.
In short, don’t hold your breath. The standout is the morning of August 13th. But even that is a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecasts.
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.
