The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it: the next couple weeks look flat, weak, and mostly not worth the drive. We've got a long stretch of nothing on offer.
The one tiny glimmer of hope is on Friday the 28th. We get a small 3ft swell from the west with a gentle offshore wind in the morning, keeping things clean at Las Redes. The energy is weak (108), so it’s not going to be anything epic, but it's surfable. The water is running a very unusual 78°, which is more than 3° warmer than average for this time of year—that’s a standout.
After that, it’s a wasteland. From Saturday the 29th, we go into a dry spell that lasts for days. There are moments of glassy conditions, like on Monday the 31st, but with hardly any swell, the ocean will look like a pond. It’s a long gap with no real recommendations.
The end of the forecast window, around September 9th, shows a slight bump in energy with some 3ft west-northwest swell showing up (91), but the winds are looking cross-shore. It’s a long way out, so don’t book your flights just yet.
So, if you’re desperate, Friday morning the 28th is your only real option. It’s small, but it’s clean. This period is so weak and the winds so messy on the bigger days, that Las Redes might honestly be more fun for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
That’s the long and short of it. Forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s looking pretty grim.
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.
