The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for Las Redes over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking pretty flat. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell that’s barely gonna push a ripple. The combined energy of all swells directed here is mostly teeny-tiny, with values like 19, 18, and 6 in the first few days – that’s weak, weak energy. There’s a gap of almost no surf worth mentioning from the start right through to the end of the period. The only real glimmer of hope comes far out, around Sunday, August 23rd, but even then, it’s a stretch.
Let’s break it down. The first few days into the weekend are a write-off. Swell height is struggling to hit 2 ft, the period is short (5-6 seconds), and winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore. Saturday morning, August 8th, you’ve got a 2 ft, 5-second west swell, but a SSE breeze at 6 mph makes it cross-on and bumpy. Afternoon sees it drop further. The pattern holds through Sunday and Monday – glassy or light wind windows on the morning of August 10th (3 ft, 6-sec west swell, WSW wind 3 mph, glassy), and August 12th (2 ft, 6-sec west swell, SSE wind 3 mph, glassy), but the swell is just too small and weak to offer a proper wave. These are moments you’d be out there on a longboard, maybe, but it’s not a true surf.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird there.
The best chance, and I mean *the* best, is the morning of Sunday, August 23rd. We get a 2 ft west swell, period building to 6 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 31 – still weak, but the highest we’ll see. The wind is offshore from the WNW at 9 mph, which is a cross-off, so the surface will be clean. That’s your standout, but it’s a long way off and the swell is still tiny. Don’t get your hopes up too high.
Crowds at Las Redes are sometimes an issue, but with this much nothing, you’ll likely have the place to yourself.
Bottom line: if you’re a beginner, the small glassy mornings might be okay for a paddle, but the waves are poor. For anyone else, it’s a long, flat wait. The 23rd morning is the only one that even whispers “maybe.” Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a tough run.
Rusty.

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.
