The Lowdown
Well, mate, I’ll be straight with you – this outlook for Las Redes is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, there’s no real surf to get excited about. Every single slot in the forecast comes back as poor surf conditions. It’s a blank run, plain and simple. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and the wind is rarely kind. For a sandbar break, this is a frustrating spell. The good news is that Las Redes is fairly consistent as a rule, so once this run ends, things should pick up again.
Right now, on Friday the 24th, it’s a non-starter. Morning has a weak 0.3ft cross-off from the NW with a 9-second period, but the combined energy is just 2 – barely a ripple. Afternoon gets a bit of a pulse up to 3ft from the WNW with a pathetic 4-second period, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. Not worth getting wet.
Saturday the 25th is much the same – morning shows zero swell, afternoon repeats that 3ft WNW windswell with a 4-second period, cross-shore with chop. Sunday the 26th offers a cleaner morning with a light NNW cross-off and a 3ft WNW swell at 5 seconds – but the energy is still weak at 27. It’s clean, sure, but there’s nothing in it.
The pattern continues all through the following week. On Monday the 27th, the best we see is 4ft from the SE in the afternoon, but with a 5-second period and cross-onshore wind, it’s just messy. On Tuesday the 30th, the afternoon hits 6ft from the ESE at 6 seconds, with 172 combined energy – that’s moderate energy, but the period is short and the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy and ugly. For beginners, 6ft is getting into tricky territory, but the quality is so poor it’s not even fun for anyone.
Heading into August, nothing changes. The first week of August sees occasional glassy mornings, like Thursday the 6th and Saturday the 8th, with 2ft and 3ft swells respectively, and periods of 5 to 6 seconds. The energy is still low (61 to 83), and the swell is too small to do much with. The wind might be glassy, but the waves just aren’t there.
There are no standout days. No best on offer. The only real highlight is that the water temperature is a very unusual 78°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year. So if you’re just floating around, it’ll be nice, but for surfing? Save your energy.

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.

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.
