The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer at our local stretch.
Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it—this is a tough outlook. We're looking at a 16-day window and the surf is, frankly, underwhelming. For the first few days, there's just nothing worth paddling out for. The waves are small and the conditions are messy. It looks like we're going to have a run of poor-quality surf for most of the first week.
The first whiff of something rideable doesn't show up until Thursday the 13th of August. The morning at Las Redes sees a tiny 2ft swell from the west, but the wind is light and cross-offshore, making for clean conditions. It's barely enough to get wet, but the combined swell energy is very weak at 66. The water temperature is tipping in at 80° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Things stay small and largely chopped out through the rest of the week and into the next. There's a lot of cross-on wind from the west and southwest messing up what little bump there is. Saturday the 22nd of August goes completely flat, with a glassy morning but no push at all.
The best we've got comes in on Sunday the 23rd of August. The morning offers up a clean 3ft swell from the west-northwest. It's still short-period at 6 seconds, so it's going to be a bit weak and fat, but with glassy, offshore wind from the east-northeast, it'll be the cleanest surf of the entire window. The combined swell energy is weak at 65. This is really the only time for beginners, but keep your expectations low.
Monday the 24th of August gets a little more size with a 4ft swell from the west-southwest, but strong, fresh cross-shore winds will make it a lumpy mess. At that size with that wind, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that, it fades right back down into tiny, weak surf for the rest of the window. It's a pretty blank run, and to be honest, that's not unusual for this area when the conditions line up like this. We'll just have to wait and see if the forecasts change.
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.
