The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast window for Las Redes is a tough one. We’ve got a 16-day run from August 1st through the 16th, and honestly, for the first 12 days, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the “poor surf conditions” tag is the story. It’s a real dry spell, but in this area, a blank run like this happens.
We finally get a glimmer of life on Thursday, August 13th. The morning is the only real standout in the whole outlook. You’ll see a small bump in swell energy hitting 3ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy reading is 191 (moderate). More importantly, the wind is light and clean off the NNW, giving us a cross-offshore breeze that’ll keep the surface glassy. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 75°F, about 3° above average, so it’s pleasant. This is a beginner-friendly sandbar break, so 3ft is manageable, but remember it’s fairly consistent, not pumping. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might have company, but it won’t be a zoo. The swell direction is WNW, which is a little off the optimum WSW, but with clean conditions, it’s still the best we’ve got.
The rest of the window is a washout. After the 13th, it’s back to small, weak, and choppy or blown-out afternoons, with the occasional clean morning on the 14th and 16th but with next to no energy (combined energy in the 20s and 80s). There’s nothing else to chase.
So, if you’re desperate, the morning of Thursday, August 13th is your only real shot for a few clean, small waves. Don’t hold your breath for the rest.
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.
