Las Redes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Las Redes over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, mate, it’s a bit of a flat spell. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf. From now through the 16-day window, there’s not a single day where I’d get excited. The first real chance of anything is on the Wednesday morning of September 16th, but even then it’s only 4ft from the WNW with a short period of 5 seconds. That’s weak energy (54) and the cross-shore wind won’t help. It’s a beach-and-reef setup but the quality is poor. Honestly, that combo looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

For the entire first half of the outlook, through to late September, we’ve got ankle-to-knee high dribble. The wind flips around a lot, but the swell just isn’t there. September 20th sees a tiny 0.3ft swell from the west with a very long period of 13 seconds, but the energy is virtually nothing (4). That’s more of a lake ripple than a surfable wave. It’s a shame, because Las Redes is a fairly consistent sandbar that can handle a bit of WSW swell – its optimum direction – but we just aren’t getting it.

There is a slight uptick near the end. On Saturday, September 26th morning, conditions go glassy with a 2ft west swell. That’s clean, but still tiny. Then on Monday, September 28th morning, we see 1ft from the WNW with a 9-second period and a light cross-off breeze. The combined energy hits 47, still weak. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, those clean, small days might be okay for a longboard or a foiler, but there’s no power or push for a proper surf. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.

So the long and short of it: there’s no standout here. No real swells, no great winds lining up with decent size. A blank run like this is normal for the area when the swell windows don't connect. It tends not to stay poor for long, forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board in the car.

Rusty.
