The Lowdown
Right, let me tell you straight up. The outlook for Las Redes over this 16-day stretch is a real bummer. I'm looking at a whole lot of nothing here. For a spot that’s described as “fairly consistent,” we're staring down a blank run that’s pretty much the whole window. It’s one of those periods where the region just shuts down, and honestly, a run this poor isn't that unusual for the area.
We are starting now, and there's a massive gap with no real surf on offer. The first few days... nothing's happening. The swell is weak, the winds are messy, and every single readout is screaming “poor surf conditions.” The water temp on that first Sunday morning reading was 79°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than normal for this time of year—that's very unusual, but not much comfort when the waves are junk.
Looking day by day... Tuesday morning the 11th, we get a glassy morning with a 2-foot swell from the west, but with a period of just 6 seconds, that's a weak, short-period windswell with no punch. The combined energy is a pathetic 27, barely a ripple. Wednesday the 12th is glassy again, but the swell drops to 2 ft and the energy is only 23. You’d be floating around on a longboard, not surfing.
Through the second week, we see a bit of a pulse. Friday morning the 14th has the biggest swell of the whole forecast at 3 ft from the WNW with an 8-second period and energy of 83. It’s still weak, and the wind is blowing straight onshore. That’s a no-go. Sunday the 16th also shows 3 ft from the west, but with a short 5-second period, it’s just lumpy.
Even the standouts, if you can call them that, are rubbish. Monday the 17th morning has a 3 ft swell from the WNW at 6 seconds (energy 66), but it's cross-onshore. Saturday the 22nd morning is glassy with a 3 ft WNW swell, but again, only a 5-second period and energy of 43—just small, weak, and messy.
There are a couple of mornings like Thursday the 13th and Friday the 21st with clean, cross-offshore winds, but the swell is tiny and weak. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing most days, with that constant cross and cross-onshore wind.
Honestly, mate, there is no best day. There is no standout. It’s a full 16-day blank. Leave the boards at home, go for a swim, and wait for the next system. Forecasts can change, but this one looks grim all the way.

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.
