The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and uninspiring for our region. We’ve got one spot on the map, Las Redes, and it’s a beginner-friendly sandbar that’s fairly consistent, but the forecast is telling a tough story.
Right now, the water is sitting at 78°, which is a massive 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s really unusual, like swimming in a bathtub.
From the start of the outlook on Tuesday, August 4th, right through to the end of the window on Wednesday, August 19th, the surf is just a no-go. Every single morning and afternoon session is rated as poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, never getting above 3 ft, and it’s coming from the WNW or W, which is not the optimum direction for this break. The wind is almost always a problem – mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. There are a couple of moments of glassy conditions on the morning of Saturday, August 8th, and again on Tuesday, August 11th, but the swell is just too small and weak to do anything with. The combined energy of all swells is always in the weak range, like 34 (Tuesday morning) or 60 (Friday morning, August 14th), which just confirms there’s no power in the water.
The waves are so small and weak that for a beginner setup, it’s honestly just not worth paddling out. There’s nothing that stands out as worth a mention. It’s a long, blank run of 16 days with no real surf on offer. For this area, that’s a pretty normal dry spell. Keep your board in the car, but don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but this one’s a tough read.
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.
