The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you—this stretch looks pretty bleak. The next 16 days are a total write-off for decent surf at Las Redes. There’s nothing worth paddling out for, and the few tiny bumps that show up are all wrecked by dodgy wind or just plain weak. It’s a real bummer, but this kind of blank run does happen now and then, so don’t let it get you down.
The water’s sitting at a toasty 78°—that’s 6° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s way above average.
The first real chance of anything surfable comes on Tuesday morning, 25 August, with a small 3ft swell from the west, 8-second period, and light northerly cross-off wind. It’s clean, but combined energy is a weak 102, so there’s barely any punch. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and honestly, that’s the best it gets. Tuesday afternoon fades back to junk.
From Wednesday 26 August all the way through to Sunday 6 September, it’s a long stretch of nothing. Swell heights hover around 0.3ft to 3ft, periods are short, and wind is almost always cross or cross-on. Even the glassy mornings on Sunday 30 August and Monday 31 August are flat as a pancake with 2ft and 0.3ft swells.
Around 6 September morning, there’s a tiny spike: 2ft swell from the west with a 19-second period—that’s a very long period groundswell, which usually means better shape but long lulls. Combined energy is 197, so moderate, and the wind is light cross-off. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so it’s not worth getting excited about. It’s a sandbar break, so that long period might make it break a bit straight, but with no size, it’s a non-event.
The rest of the second week is more of the same—tiny waves, messy wind, and scores of zero. Some mornings have clean offshore winds, like 5 September morning with a 0.3ft swell, but that’s just not surfable.
Short version: don’t wet your wetsuit for the next two weeks. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing on the table.
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.
