The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down. Looking over the next 16 days for Las Redes, the truth is, there’s not a whole lot to get excited about. We’ve got a long stretch ahead with mostly tiny waves and tricky winds. It’s one of those periods where you’ll be scanning the horizon a lot.
The first decent bit of energy doesn’t show up until Saturday the 19th in the afternoon. We see a 5ft swell from the SE with short 6-second period, and the combined swell energy is moderate (147). That’ll be pushing some shape, but on a southwest wind that’s coming across from the south-east, it’s cross, so it won’t be perfect. That’s your first little window and probably the best on offer for the whole outlook. Still, it’s a short-period swell and the water’s running much warmer than normal at 77°F, with a big anomaly of 5°F warmer – that’s really unusual for September.
Really though, nothing in this stretch is lighting it up. Most days you’re scraping by with 0.7ft to 1ft waves and messy or clean but tiny conditions. The morning of the 25th of September (Friday) has a morning clean window with an E wind cross-off and a 1.0ft swell from W at a long period of 16 seconds. That long period (groundswell) is going to wrap in with some energy (66 combined), but on a bigger tide it could be breaking straight at a sandbar. It’s a highlight if you’re desperate, but small.
After that, into the last few days of September and the start of the new week, we’re back to clean mornings with barely a ripple (0.3ft to 1.0ft). The 28th of September Monday morning has a clean window again – 1.0ft from W, period 13 seconds (67 energy). It’s not going to get you stoked, but it’s glassy.
Overall, this is a flat run. Las Redes is a beginner-friendly sandbar and fairly consistent usually, but this 16-day window is lean. The standout is the Saturday 19th afternoon – that’s the only time we see a bit of size and moderate energy. If you’ve got a longboard and low expectations, you can make a few mornings work. But for now, don’t rush it.

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.
