The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook for Las Redes is a bit of a long, flat slog. For a solid week and a half, from Thursday the 30th of July right through to Sunday the 9th of August, it’s mostly tiny and weak. You’re looking at waves between 0.3ft and 3ft, with combined swell energy barely cracking 100 (maxing out at 139 on the afternoon of the 9th), and the period is short – under 9 seconds most of the time. It’s poor. Kite surfers might get a whisper of interest on the afternoons with a cross-onshore breeze and a bit of chop, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a hard pass.
The one true standout comes on Monday the 10th of August, early. That morning sees a pulse of swell push through at 4ft from the WNW with a short 7-second period. Combined energy hits 264 (moderate) which is the most energy we see in the whole 16-day run. The wind swings around to a light offshore from the north at 9 mph, leaving the surface glassy and clean. For a beginner-friendly sandbar that’s fairly consistent, this is your window. The water temp isn’t flagged as unusual, so it’s about average for the time of year. Just know the crowds can show up sometimes.
After that Monday morning, it drops right back into the doldrums. The following days – Tuesday the 11th through to Friday the 14th – are back to tiny, weak surf under 3ft with energy dropping into the weak range. The wind turns cross to onshore, and conditions get ordinary again.
So if you’re hanging for a wave, set your alarm for Monday the 10th of August, dawn patrol at Las Redes. That’s your best bet. Everything else is a long wait.
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.
