The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with ya—this is a tough one to watch. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window for Las Redes, and honestly, it’s a pretty bleak stretch. The surf stays small and messy nearly the whole time, with onshore or cross-shore winds spoiling what little bump there is. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 80°F, almost 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year at Las Redes—that’s pretty wild for the sandbar.

Let’s run through it. From Sunday the 16th through to about the 27th of August, it’s mostly tiny, weak swell with poor conditions. Swell heights barely tickle 2 ft, periods are short, and the combined energy is weak, hovering around 42 (units of energy) at best. Winds are mostly cross-on or onshore from the WSW or W, making for choppy, bumpy surfaces. Nothing to get excited about.

You do get a couple of cleaner windows—Monday the 24th morning has a light cross-off breeze from the NW and a clean face, but the swell is only 2 ft with a weak 5-second period. Then Tuesday the 25th morning has a clean look with a northerly offshore, but again, a tiny 2 ft swell with barely any energy (15). Same story Wednesday the 26th morning: offshore breeze from the north, little 2 ft swell, but the period is a low 4 seconds. These are barely rideable, let alone good.

The standout moment—if you can call it that—is Thursday the 27th morning. Glassy conditions, light southerly air, and a 2 ft swell with a 6-second period. It’s clean, but the combined energy is still low at 24. This is probably the best shot, but it’s not much. That same afternoon actually sees a jump in height to 4 ft from the ESE, but the period drops to 5 seconds and a cross-shore wind from the WNW chops it up. That swell energy climbs to 80, still moderate, but the quality is poor.

Later in the second week, the end of August into the 31st keeps the theme: small, weak swell, mostly cross-shore or clean but tiny. The 28th of August Friday morning has a 0.3 ft swell (yeah, you read that right) and an offshore northeasterly breeze—clean but not surfable. The 29th Saturday morning offers a 3 ft swell from the SE, cross-off NW wind, clean, and combined energy of 29. It’s the best size of the whole run but still weak and short-period.

Thing is, in a spot like this, a blank run like this isn’t unusual. It tends not to stay poor for long, but right now, there’s just nothing to recommend. The whole 16-day forecast is a write-off for quality surf. The combination of tiny swell, short periods, and messy wind makes it a no-go for paddling. Honestly, with these conditions and the swell direction not matching the optimum (WSW), it's more interesting for kite surfing than a proper surf session.

No standouts to call here, folks. Just hold out for the next change.

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.
