The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here.
Truth is, for the next two weeks, we're looking at a pretty flat run. The waves are gonna be tiny, the wind's all over the place, and there's just no energy to get excited about. It's a bit of a bummer, but it happens. The first decent surfable day won't show up until the 6th of September, and even then, it's a total mess. From now until then, you're looking at a solid week of nothing worthwhile.
Here's the deal: The first hint of any real swell energy comes in on the morning of the 6th of September, with a moderate combined energy (135) from a SE swell. But with a cross-shore wind and a short 6-second period, it's going to be a lumpy, choppy affair. The wind picks up even more in the afternoon, making it worse. It's more of a windsurfing or kiteboarding setup than a surfing one.
The only spot worth a mention is Las Redes. It's a beginner-friendly sandbar, pretty exposed to the swell, and it likes a WSW direction. The water temp is a notable 25°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a nice touch, but it doesn't help the waves.
For the rest of the 16-day window, it's a continuous string of poor conditions. The few days around the 15th of September show a little more promise with a longer period swell (16 seconds) and moderate energy (112), but the wind is still messy and the wave height is small. It's not enough to get the heart pumping. Honestly, it's one of those periods where you might be better off cleaning your gear or checking the forecast for a better window.

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.

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.
