The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same outlook but in feet and miles for you.
Looking at the next 16 days for Las Redes, it’s a dry spell. Honestly, you could scroll through the whole forecast and not find a single session worth chasing. There’s a big gap where nothing is really going on.
The 26th of August starts it off with hardly any swell – about 2 feet from the west, a cross-onshore breeze at 12 mph, and water temps sitting at 78°F, which is nearly 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year. The combined energy is weak at 19, and the period is a short 4 seconds. It’s choppy and small.
Thursday the 27th bumps up to 2 – 3 feet, but still a short period and the wind is cross-shore. Friday the 28th morning, the wind goes light offshore from the north, giving you a clean surface, but the swell is only 2 feet at 8 seconds with moderate energy (74). It would look clean but tiny and lacking power.
Saturday morning the 29th of August is the best of a bad bunch – glassy conditions with a 2-foot west swell (energy of 41). That’s the cleanest moment, but still weak and small.
The rest of August and into September stays mostly under 3 feet. On Thursday the 3rd of September, there’s a bump to 5 feet from the southeast, but the period is only 6 seconds with a fresh cross-shore wind at 22 mph. That’s going to be bumpy and lumpy – better for a kite than a surfboard at a beach break like this.
From September 6th onward it’s back to tiny waves and inconsistent conditions. The 10th shows a very long period of 15 seconds, but the swell is only 0.7 feet from the west-northwest. That’s flat, essentially. Long period swells at a sandbar don’t offer much unless there’s real size behind them.
So, overall, there’s just no worthwhile surf here in the next 16 days. Las Redes is usually a fairly consistent spot, so this quiet patch is a bit of a surprise, but things can change quick. For now, I’d say take a break.
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.
