Las Redes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again, same outlook but in feet and miles for you.

Looking at the next 16 days for Las Redes, it’s a dry spell. Honestly, you could scroll through the whole forecast and not find a single session worth chasing. There’s a big gap where nothing is really going on.

The 26th of August starts it off with hardly any swell – about 2 feet from the west, a cross-onshore breeze at 12 mph, and water temps sitting at 78°F, which is nearly 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year. The combined energy is weak at 19, and the period is a short 4 seconds. It’s choppy and small.

Thursday the 27th bumps up to 2 – 3 feet, but still a short period and the wind is cross-shore. Friday the 28th morning, the wind goes light offshore from the north, giving you a clean surface, but the swell is only 2 feet at 8 seconds with moderate energy (74). It would look clean but tiny and lacking power.

Saturday morning the 29th of August is the best of a bad bunch – glassy conditions with a 2-foot west swell (energy of 41). That’s the cleanest moment, but still weak and small.

The rest of August and into September stays mostly under 3 feet. On Thursday the 3rd of September, there’s a bump to 5 feet from the southeast, but the period is only 6 seconds with a fresh cross-shore wind at 22 mph. That’s going to be bumpy and lumpy – better for a kite than a surfboard at a beach break like this.

From September 6th onward it’s back to tiny waves and inconsistent conditions. The 10th shows a very long period of 15 seconds, but the swell is only 0.7 feet from the west-northwest. That’s flat, essentially. Long period swells at a sandbar don’t offer much unless there’s real size behind them.

So, overall, there’s just no worthwhile surf here in the next 16 days. Las Redes is usually a fairly consistent spot, so this quiet patch is a bit of a surprise, but things can change quick. For now, I’d say take a break.

Rusty.
