The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this is a tough one for the region. The forecast isn't serving up much to get excited about, and there’s a long stretch of flat or poor conditions ahead. It’s one of those periods where patience is the name of the game.
Right now, through the end of August and into the first week of September, we’re looking at tiny, weak surf. The swell energy is very low, barely registering above 50 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The waves are small, mostly under 3 ft, with short periods around 5 to 6 seconds that just don't pack any punch. There are a few windows of glassy or light offshore wind, especially on Monday morning the 31st of August with a calm sea and a 2 ft swell from the WNW, but even then the wave comment reads "poor surf conditions". The water is abnormally warm, sitting at 78°F, which is a few degrees above the long-term average for this time of year – you’ll notice it if you get in.
The standout, if you can call it that, is a slight bump on the afternoon of Thursday, 3rd of September. We see a brief pulse of 4 ft swell from the ESE with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 77 (combined energy of all swells directed here), which is still weak but the best we’ll see. The wind is a light cross-shore, but it’s not clean offshore. For a beginner spot like Las Redes, that 4 ft is at the top end of manageable, but with the short period and poor conditions, it’s not a lock.
After that, we drop right back into the doldrums. The second week is a desert of ankle-biters and onshore chop. The swell energy drops to single digits and teens, with waves mostly under 2 ft. There’s no real standout to save the run. The setup is poor for paddle surfing, and with consistent cross-shore to cross-onshore winds, it might actually be more interesting for kite surfers looking for a choppy session.
The gap of recommended surf stretches from now all the way through the 16-day window. It’s a blank run, but for this area, that’s not unusual. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board in the car.
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.
