The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Look, I’ll be straight with you—this forecast is a tough one. For the next 16 days, starting from now, Las Redes is not offering any proper surf. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Friday the 11th of September, and even then, it’s just barely surfable. That’s a solid gap of nearly two weeks of flat or messy conditions.
The whole pattern is weak. We’ve got tiny swell, mostly around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with a short period of 4 to 8 seconds, so it’s all wind chop and crumble. The wind is all over the place—onshore, cross, offshore at times—but the swell just isn’t there to back it up. The combined energy is pitiful, often single digits or low double digits, like 19 or 26 (weak energy), so nothing’s pushing through. Even the few mornings with glassy or offshore wind, like Monday the 31st of August or Tuesday the 1st of September, are wasted on tiny, weak waves.
Now, the one small window is Friday the 11th of September. Early morning, we get a bit of a pulse: 3 ft swell from the WNW, period 6 seconds, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the east at 6 mph. The combined energy jumps to 112 (moderate energy), which is the highest in the whole run. It’s surfable, but conditions are still very ordinary. The swell is short period, so it’s not going to hold shape well—just bumpy, weak lines. Not a standout, just the least bad option.
After that, it fades again. Saturday the 12th has a glassy morning but only 2 ft, and by Sunday the 13th, the swell gets a bit longer period (16 seconds) and bigger energy (191), but the wind is howling cross-offshore at 12 mph, making it messy and hard to handle. The waves are too weak and too wind-affected to recommend.
Honestly, for this area, a blank run like this isn’t unusual. It’s a fairly consistent spot on paper, but when the swell and wind don’t line up, you get a long stretch of nothing. Don’t hold your breath—but forecasts can change, and it rarely stays this poor for long.
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.
