Table - best surf conditions forecast for Las Redes over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
The first time we get a whiff of hope is Friday morning, August 28th. It’s clear skies with a gentle 15 km/h offshore from the N. That’s clean. The swell is a tiny 0.9m from the W with a short, weak period of 8 seconds (113 moderate energy). It’s surfable, but barely. Ordinary conditions at best. Friday afternoon goes cross-shore and messy, so the morning is your only shot.
Saturday morning, August 29th is another early tease. Glassy conditions with 5 km/h offshore from the NE and clean lines. But again, the swell is underwhelming at 0.7m from the WNW with a period of only 6 seconds (43 weak energy). It’s tiny and weak. Not really worth getting excited about unless you’re on a foamie.
After that, it drops off a cliff. From Saturday afternoon all the way through to the end of the second week, it’s a desert. The swell stays below 0.5m mostly, with periods so short (4 to 5 seconds) it’s basically flat ocean mixed with wind chop. Winds are either cross, cross-on, or onshore, keeping everything messy.
There’s one tiny blip on Thursday, September 3rd morning – a cross-off breeze from the E at 15 km/h cleaning up a weak 0.8m swell from the ESE (42 weak energy). Still just not enough push.
Everything else through to September 11th is rated as poor surf conditions, scores of 0 out of 10. The biggest “energy” spike we see is 65 (still weak) on Friday afternoon, September 11th, but that’s with a strong 25 km/h cross-onshore from the WSW creating a chop fest.
If I had to pick the one stand-out, it’d be Friday morning, August 28th – just because it’s the only window with a clean offshore wind and a swell that’s even remotely surfable for a beginner or longboarder. But it’s not a stand-out in any real sense. Everything else is a write-off.
Stay patient. It’s a long flat spell, but forecasts can change.

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.
