The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. I’ve been staring at the charts for Las Redes and it’s a tough pill to swallow. For the next two weeks, this place is a desert. The first day we’ve got anything to talk about is Sunday morning, August 2nd, and even then it’s a total dud. We’re seeing a weak 3ft of swell from the WNW, with a short, gutless 5-second period. The wind is cross-shore from the WNW at 9 mph, putting a bit of texture on it. The combined energy is only at 57, which is weak sauce. Water temp is 75°, running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s the only silver lining.
The entire first week is a complete no-go. From the 2nd through the 9th, it’s all tiny, weak surf, mostly under 3 feet, with cross-onshore winds ruining any chance of a clean wave. There’s a brief moment on Thursday morning, August 6th, when the wind goes light and cross-offshore from the NNW, cleaning things up, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft. The energy is almost zero. It’s not worth getting wet for.
We see a little bump in energy on Friday, August 14th, when the swell pushes up to 3ft from the WNW. The combined energy jumps to 115 in the morning and 147 in the afternoon. But, it’s a short-period swell, only around 7 to 8 seconds, and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore from the south. It’s going to be a choppy, blown-out mess. For that kind of size and wind, you might as well rig up a kite. Paddle surfing is going to be a waste of energy.
Then it just flatlines again. The weekend of the 15th and 16th is completely flat. The following Monday, August 17th, has a clean, offshore breeze from the NNE in the morning, but the swell is an impossible 0.7ft. This is a painfully long, dry stretch. It’s a real blank run for this place. Sometimes it just happens. The forecasts can shift, but as things stand, you’re better off finding something else to do. I’ll be here if anything changes.

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.
