The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, looking at your local surf for Las Redes. Let’s be straight with you — this forecast is a tough one. The next 16 days are basically a write-off for decent waves. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the water is running a bizarre 78° — that’s a whopping 6° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual and feels like bathwater.
The first real glimmer doesn’t show up until Thursday the 30th of July in the afternoon. Before that, from today (Thursday 23rd July) right through to the morning of the 30th, there’s a solid 6-day stretch with nothing worth paddling out for — waves stay below 3 ft, mostly with cross-shore or onshore wind and weak energy levels (usually under 40). Not worth your time.
Thursday 30th July – Afternoon
Things finally get a little interesting. The swell picks up to 4 ft from the SE, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s short-period, windswell stuff, but the combined energy hits 130 — that’s moderate energy, enough to get some lumpy, punchy waves. The wind is cross-onshore from the south at 9 mph, so it’ll be a bit choppy. Not a standout, but the best of a bad bunch. Water temp is still that warm anomaly of 78°.
Monday 3rd August – Morning
A brief window of clean conditions with offshore NW wind at 12 mph, but the swell is pathetic — only 1 ft from the WNW, with a long period of 9 seconds. Energy is a measly 16. Not surfable.
Wednesday 5th August – Morning
Another clean morning, cross-offshore NW wind 9 mph. Swell is 2 ft from the SE, period 5 seconds, energy 27. Still tiny.
Thursday 6th August – Morning
Clean again, offshore NW wind 6 mph. Swell is 0.7 ft from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds, energy 18. Barely a ripple.
Friday 7th August – Morning
Last day in the window, clean with offshore NW wind 12 mph. Swell is 0.7 ft from the west, period 9 seconds, energy 12. Completely flat.
Honestly, mate, there’s no standout session here. The best you’ll get is the 30th July afternoon, but even then it’s choppy and short-period. Las Redes is a beginner-friendly sandbar that’s fairly consistent, but this run is a total dud. For a spot like this, it’s not unusual — the ocean goes quiet sometimes. Kite surfers might get a laugh on the windier afternoons, but for paddle surfing, leave the board at home.
Stay patient, mate. The forecasts can change.
Rusty.

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.
