The Lowdown
Alright mates, let’s be honest, the next couple weeks are a total dead zone for surfing around here. We’ve got a massive gap of nothing worth mentioning.
The first half is a complete bust. Tiny, weak swell under 2 feet, with the wind blowing onshore or side-onshore, making everything a choppy mess. Wave energy is barely registering in single or low double digits. It’s a write-off.
The only flicker of hope comes way down the line. On Sunday the 23rd, there’s a small bump in energy with a 3ft swell out of the WNW, but the afternoon’s got a strong onshore wind at 15 mph ruining it. The best shot is the following morning, Monday the 24th. The wind swings offshore from the NW at 15 mph, clearing up the surface for a clean session on a small 2ft swell. After that, Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th mornings also have clean, light offshores, but the swell drops back to nothing.
I can’t call any of this a standout. Nothing has the size, the power, or the wind to make it special. The break here, Las Redes, is a sandbar that can handle a swell, but it’s just not coming. The water temp is running nearly 6° warmer than normal for August at 79°, which is very weird, but that’s the only headline. Crowds are possible if the conditions look okay, but I doubt many will bother.
Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for kiteboarding than surfing. Keep the board waxed and wait for the next change.

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.
