The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, let's talk waves.
Honestly, looking at the next couple of weeks, it's pretty flat. We've got a real dry spell on our hands here at Las Redes. This spot is a sandbar setup, so it needs a decent push to work, and right now the ocean just isn't cooperating. There's a stretch here where we just don't have enough energy to make it worthwhile. The combined swell energy is barely registering, with values like 6 and 13 (out of much higher ranges), which just isn't enough to surf on.
For Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th of July, you're looking at tiny, weak swell. We're talking wave heights of 1 ft to 2 ft, with short periods around 4 to 7 seconds. The water is warm, about 77°, which is *much warmer* than normal for this time of year, a full 6° above average – that’s very unusual. But the wind is a problem. It's mostly cross-onshore or just cross, making everything choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out for.
Thursday the 16th brings nothing good. Wind is still cross, from the WNW at 9-12 mph, and the swell is tiny and confused. The same story carries through Friday and Saturday, though we do get a little glimmer Saturday morning, July 18th. The swell bumps up to 3 ft, with a bit more energy (39 on the scale), and the wind goes light NNW, giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. It’s still small period (5 seconds), so it won't have much push, but that morning is *the* best window in this whole forecast. If I had to pick a time to get a couple of knee-high wobbles, it would be then.
After that little spike, it drops right back down. Sunday the 19th is tiny again, and from Monday the 20th all the way through to the end of the month, it's more of the same: weak, small waves, and winds that are mostly cross or cross-onshore. There's no clean swell, no powerful groundswell to get excited about. Even the longer period swell that shows up on the 26th, 27th, and 29th is only 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft. Long period and no height is a tease, not a wave.
To be honest, this blank run is a bit more normal for a sandbar spot like this in a flat spell. It just doesn't have the consistency to pull through when there's no swell in the water. We’re looking at a full 16 days with nothing truly rideable.
