The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Las Redes.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch is looking pretty flat. We’ve got a whole lot of nothing for the first week and a bit. The waves are small, the periods are short, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, which is about as exciting as a flat tyre. This sandbar at Las Redes is a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and it gets a bit of exposure to the swell, but it just isn’t firing. The water temp is about what you’d expect this time of year, nothing unusual.
We kick off on Tuesday the 28th of July with a tiny 2 ft swell from the SE, period of just 5 seconds, and a cross breeze. The combined energy is a weak 19. By afternoon it’s a bit bigger at 4 ft but still short period and choppy. Honestly, it’s poor.
Wednesday the 29th is even smaller, with a morning swell of 1 ft from the ESE and a 3-second period – that’s barely a ripple. Thursday the 30th morning offers a clean look with a light cross-offshore wind, but the swell is only 1 ft from the west. The energy is just 7. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
Friday the 31st morning is clean again, with 1 ft from the WNW, but still tiny. The whole first week into the start of August is a write-off. We’ve got days of 1 ft, 1 ft, with combined energy stuck in the teens and twenties. It’s not until the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August that we see a tiny 1 ft clean swell, and then the afternoon picks up a little to 2 ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, energy hitting 87. Still poor conditions, though.
There’s a gap of poor surf right through to the morning of Saturday the 8th of August, where we see a slightly better 3 ft from the WNW with a 5-second period and clean conditions. Energy is 67. It’s the biggest we’ve seen, but the period is short and the swell is weak. The afternoon goes messy again.
The last few days of the forecast, from the 10th to the 12th of August, keep the theme going: small, short-period swells from the west, mostly cross or cross-on winds, and energy levels that never crack 100. The morning of Tuesday the 11th of August has a 3 ft swell from the west, 6-second period, and a light cross-onshore with combined energy of 50 – still not enough to get excited about.
So, the honest truth is there are no standout sessions here. Not a single day that I’d call good. The whole 16-day window is a bust. If you’re a kite surfer, the stronger afternoon winds and choppy conditions might be more your thing, but for paddle surfing, you’re better off finding something else to do. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run.
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.
