The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for the next couple weeks. Honestly, it's a pretty flat spell ahead. We're looking at a long stretch of weak, tiny waves with mostly cross or onshore winds, so don't get your hopes up for anything special.
Water temperature is sitting at a balmy 79°, which is *much warmer* than normal for this time of year – you'll be comfortable in just a spring suit.
Your only real option on the board is Las Redes. It's a sandbar break that's fairly consistent, but the problem is the swell just isn't there. Over the next 16 days, we're talking about wave heights between a paltry 0.7ft and 2ft, with combined swell energy rarely breaking out of the weak single or low double digits (58).
Saturday the 15th starts things off with a tiny 2ft swell from the west, but with a SSW wind blowing onshore it's going to be messy. That's basically the "biggest" it gets. The whole first week is a washout – Sunday the 16th through Friday the 21st sees nothing but ankle-snatchers at 2ft or less, with cross-onshore breezes and poor conditions.
The next few days don't get any better. Saturday the 22nd through Friday the 28th is more of the same: 0.7ft to 2ft, mostly poor surf. There's a couple of moments on Monday the 24th, Tuesday the 25th, and Wednesday the 26th where the wind shifts cross-offshore or goes glassy, which would make the water look clean, but we're still talking about waves that won't even push you down the line. Wednesday afternoon the 26th is a standout for *conditions* – dead glassy with a slight 2ft swell – but it's still just a dribbler.
The final days of the outlook, right through to Sunday the 30th, don't offer any relief. Small, weak, and generally choppy. For intermediate or better surfers, this setup looks way more interesting for a kiteboard than a surfboard. Beginners won't find much to learn on either.
Honestly, keep the board in the car and just go for a swim. The forecasts can always change, but right now, it's not looking good.

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.
