The Lowdown
Truth be told, it’s a pretty flat stretch we’re looking at for the next couple of weeks. The swell just isn’t there, and if you’re chasing waves at Las Redes, you’re going to be doing a lot of paddling for nothing. It’s a sandbar set-up that’s fairly consistent, but right now, there’s just no juice in the water. The energy’s weak, mostly down in the double digits, and the waves that do show are small, confused, and not worth suiting up for.
The first week, from the 10th through the 16th, is a write-off. We’re looking at ankle to knee-high slop, with the swell direction coming from the west and northwest, but the periods are short, mostly under 8 seconds, so there’s no push. The wind’s all over the place, but it doesn’t matter because there’s nothing to surf. There’s a glassy window on the morning of the 11th, and again on the 12th, but with a 2ft west swell, it’s just a flat, shiny surface. The combined energy is weak too – we’re talking values like 24 and 23, which is nothing.
The break itself is fairly exposed to the west, but the optimum swell direction is WSW, and we’re not getting any of that in a meaningful way. The 13th has a light offshore breeze (NE at 6 mph) and a clean look, but the swell is only 2ft at 9 seconds. It’s a fun idea, but the reality is just too small. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so if you’re just learning to stand up, maybe it’s an option, but for anyone else, it’s a no-go.
The middle of the period, from the 17th through the 20th, is even worse. The swell drops to 1ft or less at times. The energy numbers hit single digits, like 9 and 6. There’s no way around it – this is a dead spell. The winds are mostly cross-on or onshore, so it’s not even clean. If you’ve got a kite and the wind’s up, maybe that’s more your scene, but for a surfboard, forget it.
The final week, starting around the 21st, sees a slight pulse of energy, but it’s not much. The swell bumps up to 3ft on the Friday morning, but the period is still a weak 6 seconds and it’s coming from the west, not the preferred WSW. The combined energy is still only around 41. It’s still poor surf, just a little less poor than before. The mornings of the 21st and 22nd have light winds, which would normally be a plus, but there’s just not enough swell to make it interesting. By the 23rd and 24th, it’s fading right back out again.
So, to sum it up – there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It’s a flat, frustrating run, and that’s just how it goes sometimes for this area. The break is fairly consistent, which means it won’t stay this way forever, but right now, you’re better off finding something else to do. The water temp’s about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
Stay salty.

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.
