The Lowdown
Alright, let's look at what we're working with. It's a bit of a slow stretch, but there are a couple of moments that might get you wet.
This whole run starts off pretty average. Friday the 28th, there's a tiny, clean wave in the early morning – about 0.9m from the west with a light offshore breeze. It's surfable, but nothing special. The combined energy is on the weak side at 113, and the period is short at 8 seconds, so it'll be a bit fat despite the clean surface.
From Saturday the 29th through Friday the 4th of September, it's a real dry spell. The swell drops way down, mostly under 0.7m and often with poor direction and cross-shore or onshore winds. There are a couple of glassy mornings on the 31st of August and the 1st of September, but with barely 0.5m of west swell and periods as low as 5 seconds, you're looking at flat, bumpy conditions. Not worth the drive.
We get a spike on Friday the 4th of September afternoon – 1.6m from the southeast, but the period is short (6 seconds) and the wind is a cross-onshore. It's a messy, choppy mess with combined energy hitting 185, so it's just poor quality. Then there's one more clean morning on the 5th of September with a long period swell from the west at 12 seconds, but it's only 0.1m – completely flat.
After that, the rest of the period is a washout. Tiny swells, onshore winds, the works. It's not until Saturday the 12th of September morning that we see a glimmer. We get a clean 0.8m west swell with a 11-second period and a light offshore from the NNE. The combined energy is a moderate 155, and the wind is gentle offshore and clean. You might find a few lined-up sets at Las Redes (sandbar), and since it's fairly consistent, there's a chance of a sneaky wave. Just be aware that crowds are sometimes a thing there.
Honestly, for this entire 16-day window, Saturday the 12th is the one to circle, and it's not big. The wave height is only about 3ft, so it's fine for beginners and intermediates, and the offshore wind will keep the faces clean. The rest of the time, save your energy. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.

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.
