The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – this stretch ahead is a tough one. We're looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The whole 16-day window from the 23rd of August through to the 7th of September is basically a write-off. There's no good surf on offer, not a single session that's worth getting the board wet for. You'll be staring at flat, weak, and messy conditions day after day.
The only spot in the frame is Las Redes, a sandbar setup that's fairly consistent but it's just not catching anything. The water's sitting at 78°F on the 23rd, which is a whopping 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that's a very unusual warm spell, but it doesn't help the waves one bit.
We start the forecast on Sunday the 23rd with a tiny 2ft west swell puffing in at 12 seconds, but it's cross-on and the combined energy is a weak 73. It's a flat, choppy mess. Monday the 24th sees a bump to 4ft from the west, but the period drops to 8-9 seconds and the wind is howling cross-on at 12-16 mph, making it choppy and ugly. The energy climbs to 242, but it's poor surf quality.
The pattern doesn't improve. Tuesday the 25th morning goes clean with a light NNW cross-off, but the swell is only 3ft with a weak 99 energy. The rest of the week is a parade of tiny, weak swells – 1.0ft to 2ft – with periods often below 8 seconds and cross-off or cross winds. The energy readings are all in the single or low double digits, which is pathetic.
Even when the wind goes offshore on the 28th and 29th, the swell is a paltry 0.7ft to 2ft. There's a glassy morning on the 1st of September with a 3ft west-northwest swell, but it's gutless with a 5-second period and only 30 energy. The 3rd of September shows a 5ft east-southeast swell with a 6-second period and 159 energy, but it's cross-on and choppy – a kite surfer's dream, maybe, but not a paddle surfer's.
There's just nothing here. This is a classic blank run for this area. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, the best advice is to leave the boards in the shed and find something else to do for a couple of weeks.
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.
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.
