The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for a surf. We’re looking at a 16-day window that’s flat as a pancake for the most part. The first decent wave doesn’t show up until the very end, and even then, it’s not setting the world on fire. You’ll be waiting a good while.
Las Redes is the only break on the radar, and it’s a beginner-friendly sandbar that’s fairly consistent. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 75°. The trouble is, the swell just isn’t there. From Thursday the 3rd right through to the 16th, it’s all knee-high mush. The swell height barely touches 2 ft and the period is short, around 4 to 10 seconds, so there’s no power in the water. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly well under 100 (24, 28, 8, etc.), so you’re looking at small, gutless waves. The wind is a mixed bag, but when it’s glassy or light offshore, like on the morning of Friday the 4th (3 ft from the ESE, glassy wind) or the morning of Monday the 7th (2 ft, glassy), the surf is clean but still too small to get excited about. You’ll be on a longboard at best.
The one day that stands out – and I mean barely – is the afternoon of Sunday the 13th of September. The swell jumps up to 4 ft, coming from the ESE with a very short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is 92, which is the highest in the whole forecast, but that’s still weak. The wind is a light cross-onshore. It’s not big, it’s not clean, and it’s not powerful. You might get a little close-out shorebreak, but don’t expect much.
The best bet for a surfable wave is the morning of Monday the 14th of September. You’ve got 2 ft from the SE with a light cross-offshore wind from the ENE, making it clean. The period is still short at 5 seconds, so it’s a bit mushy, but it’s the cleanest wave of the whole run. For a beginner, this is your window.
Honestly, this stretch is a blank run. The waves are small, the periods are short, and the energy is low. It’s a normal thing for this area when the swell is this quiet. Bring a kite if you’ve got one, because the paddle surfing is a write-off until that last week. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
Stay patient.
Rusty.

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.
