The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day run for Las Redes is looking pretty flat and grim for the most part. The water is sitting at a warm 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit for the long paddles. But the swell? Barely a pulse. The first sniff of anything ridable doesn't show up until Monday the 14th of September, and even then, it’s weak.
That Monday afternoon, the 14th, we get a tiny bump of 3 ft from the SE, but with a short period of 5 seconds and light cross-onshore wind, it’s going to be small and bumpy. The combined energy is only 50 (weak energy) – that’s not enough to get excited about. It’s more of a longboard or maybe a foiling day if you’ve got one.
Wednesday the 16th morning brings a little more: 3 ft from the WNW, but the period is only 5 seconds again, and the wind is cross-shore from the WNW at 12 mph. That’s going to create a cross-chop, making it bumpy. The combined energy is just 47 (weak). Not a standout.
The closest thing to a highlight in this entire window is the session on Thursday the 24th of September afternoon. We’ve got 4 ft from the ESE, with a 6 second period, and light cross-onshore wind from the SSE at 6 mph. That’s the biggest swell of the whole outlook, and combined energy hits 113 (moderate wave energy). For a sandbar break that’s fairly exposed to swell, this is the best on offer. It’s still not perfect, but it’s the most energy we’ll see. The wind is light, so the surface won’t be too messy, though it is a little onshore. Still, for a beginner-friendly spot like Las Redes, this is the one to pencil in if you’re desperate for a paddle.
Everything else is either tiny (0.3 ft to 2 ft) with no power, or blown out by stronger winds. For example, Saturday the 21st of September afternoon has 3 ft from the SE, but the wind is a cross-shore 19 mph from the SE, making it lumpy and choppy. Not worth it.
The long-range stuff around the 20th to 22nd of September has a few clean windows with light cross-offshore wind, but the swell is practically zero (0.3 ft to 0.7 ft). You could probably surf a lake with those conditions. There’s a long period groundswell from the W around the 20th of September morning (13 seconds), but at just 0.3 ft, it’s not even breaking.
In short: this is a quiet, pretty poor stretch for Las Redes. The only day that gives us hope is Thursday the 24th of September afternoon. For the rest, it’s a waiting game of mostly flat, small waves. Kite surfers might get a look on the windier days, but for a paddle surfer, there ain’t much to rush out for.
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.
