The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you straight off the bat: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of small, crumbly surf and onshore slop at Las Redes (Riviera Nayarit). Water’s sitting at 79°, which is a good six and a half degrees warmer than usual for this time of year—that’s a big deal, the ocean’s properly toasty.
Right now, through the rest of this week and into the next, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft, and the energy is weak—we’re talking readings like 39, 59, down to single digits. The wind’s mostly cross-onshore or choppy, so even the clean-ish mornings with light breezes don’t have enough push to make it worth your while. It’s a classic flat spell. Saturday the 16th has a faint pulse but it’s a 5-second windswell, just not enough. Honestly, there’s a big gap here—from now until about the 24th, there’s nothing surfable.
Now, I’m not one to give up hope, but you gotta be realistic. We finally see a bit of life on Tuesday the 25th. The morning shows a 3ft swell from the WNW with a 6-second period. The energy jumps to 113, which is moderate, but that short period means it’s peaky and weak. The wind is just a gentle cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy but maybe rideable. That’s our best bet, and it’s still pretty average. This is a sandbar break, fairly consistent, but it’s not going to be a classic.
The 29th shows a slightly cleaner window—3ft from the WNW, 51 energy—but the wind is a moderate cross-off, which could make it a bit more organized. But we’re still talking small, short-period waves. This is really one for the longboard if you’re desperate, but for most of us, it’s better to leave the board in the car. Keep an eye on it, but don’t get your hopes up too high.
So, bottom line: no standouts here, this is a blank run. For a spot that’s this exposed, it doesn’t stay flat forever, but this stretch is looking like a definite write-off. I’d hold off for now.
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.
