The Lowdown
Right, well, grab a coffee, ‘cause it’s gonna be a quiet one for Las Redes. Looking at the whole 16-day window, this is a tough stretch for paddle surfing. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly junk, and the scores are all goose-eggs. This is a sandbar break that’s fairly consistent normally, but it’s about to go through a blank run that’s notable even for here. The forecasts might change, but right now, you’re looking at a long gap.
The first recommendation, if you can call it that, is on Friday the 24th of July. We’ve got a tiny 0.3ft swell from the west with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 2. The wind is a cross-offshore from the NW, which is fine, but there’s nothing to surf. The water is a toasty 78°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a proper anomaly.
The following Saturday morning the 25th is a total write-off with zero swell energy. Then Sunday the 26th morning has a glassy surface with the wind dead calm, but the swell is still only 2ft from the WNW with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is just 40. It’s clean, but tiny and weak.
There’s a bit of a bump on Monday the 27th afternoon. The swell jumps to 4ft from the SE, period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is 118 (moderate). The problem is a fresh cross-shore breeze from the SE at 22 mph, making it lumpy and horrible. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
After that, it’s all downhill. The rest of the month and into August is a parade of tiny swells, most under 2ft, with cross-shore or onshore winds. The combined energy stays in the weak two-digit range. There’s a clean morning on Friday the 31st of July with a 2ft WNW swell and a light cross-offshore wind, but again, it’s just not enough to get excited about.
The best on offer, and I say that with a heavy heart, is the Sunday the 26th of July morning. It’s glassy, and that 2ft WNW swell, while small, will be the cleanest you’ll see. For a beginner, the size is fine, but there’s just no power. The rest of the window is a write-off. Don’t get your hopes up.

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.
