The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, and I gotta tell ya, the surf chart is looking about as flat as a pancake. We're in for a serious dry spell at Las Redes with almost nothing on offer for the next week and a half. There's a big gap of poor, tiny, and mostly choppy waves from now through the 12th. It's a real bummer.
The water is running about 76°, which is much warmer than typical for this time of year, so if you're just thinking about a dip, it's not bad. But for surfing? Forget it. The swell energy is just pathetic, hardly reaching triple digits until later on, and even then, it's weak.
The one small window that might get your heart beating a little is the morning of Thursday, August 13th. We've got a clean, glassy morning with a small 0.8m (about 3ft) swell from the WNW with a 9-second period. The energy jumps to a "moderate" 149, so there's at least a pulse there. It's still small and "very ordinary," but it's the only time it even looks surfable. Friday morning on the 14th is a similar story – knee-high at best, with a bit of cross-shore wind. Not exactly firing.
So, here’s the deal. If you’re jonesing for a wave, mark your calendar for the morning of the 13th and bring your most forgiving board. But don’t hold your breath. Otherwise, this looks like a stretch to catch up on other things. Forecasts can change, so we keep hoping, but right now, the ocean is telling us to take a break.
Rusty, out.

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.
