The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, let's have a look at what's on the menu for the Las Redes area over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at this forecast, and it's a bit of a flat spell we're paddling into. For the first week and a half, the surf is just not there. We're talking about a long stretch of tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. From Friday the 31st of July right through to about Sunday the 9th of August, you're looking at a whole lot of nothing. Swell heights are barely scraping 2ft to 3ft, and the wind is mostly a cross or cross-onshore mess, chopping up any chance of a clean wave. The few tiny windows of glassy conditions are paired with swell so small it's barely a ripple. It's a good week to tune up your board, check your fins, or just enjoy the beach, because the surf isn't worth wetsuiting up for.
Now, things start to get a little more interesting around the second week. The first real flicker of hope comes on Monday morning, the 10th of August. The combined energy finally pushes into the moderate range at 111, with a 3ft swell from the WNW. It's still not big, and the wind is light and onshore, so it's not going to be a classic, but it's something. The standouts, however, are a couple of mornings later. On Wednesday the 12th of August, the morning session is looking like the pick of the bunch. Las Redes will see a clean 2ft swell from the W with a 9-second period and a light offshore from the ENE. That's a proper clean window. The following morning, Thursday the 13th of August, is also a solid call. We've got a 3ft swell from the W with an 8-second period, combined energy at 103, and the wind is light, making for a glassy surface. The swell direction is a near-perfect match for what this sandbar loves. For a beginner-friendly spot like Las Redes, this is about as good as it gets in this window. Keep in mind, it's a fairly consistent break, but with the crowds listed as "sometimes", you might have a few friends out there with you.
The water temperature is sitting at 75°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can probably get away with a shorty or even just a rashie. Overall, it's a long wait for a couple of decent mornings, but the 12th and 13th of August are the ones to circle on the calendar.

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.

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.
