The Lowdown
Right, grab a seat, let’s talk about your local stretch. I’m lookin’ at the next 16 days and, honestly, I’m gonna be straight with you – it’s a desert. There’s not a single wave worth paddlin’ for in the whole run. Not one. The models are showin’ a whole lot of flat, weak, and messy, which is a proper bummer, but it happens.
The first real chance of any surf comes and goes, and it’s a no-go. The water’s sittin’ at a warm 76°F, which is a solid 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a notable shift, feels like bathwater compared to what you’d expect.
From Monday the 27th right through to Tuesday the 11th of August, the pattern is stubbornly poor. We’re talkin’ a 16-day gap with zero recommendations. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is just twistin’ everything into a mess. There’s a window around Friday the 31st of July where the wind goes glassy on the morning, but the swell is a pathetic 1 ft from the WNW with a period of 5 seconds – that’s barely a ripple. Even the combined energy is laughable, never breakin’ into triple digits, mostly in the single digits and teens (e.g. 11, 19, 20). It’s just not gonna happen.
The only break in the picture is Las Redes, a sandbar that’s fairly consistent but it’s not gettin’ any love. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but with these tiny, short-period swells and the wind constantly cross-shore or cross-on from the SE, ESE, and WSW, it’s just blown out chop. The wind just kills any hope of shape. For a beach break with this kind of weak, short-period swell and stiff cross-shore winds, this setup honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, if you’re into that.
So yeah, it’s a blank run. It’s quiet, but it’s not unusual for the area. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards in the car and maybe take a long walk on the beach. Keep an eye on it, because it tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
