The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking at the next couple of weeks from our little corner of the world, it’s going to be a test of patience. We're not looking at any kind of swell event, that's for sure. The ocean is going to be quiet, and most of the time, pretty messy.
The first solid recommendation isn't until the morning of the 13th. So there’s a good week of waiting ahead. Before that, from the 8th through the 12th, it’s gonna be small, weak, and mostly chopped up by cross and onshore breezes. A couple of mornings on the 11th and 12th will be glassy, but with almost no energy in the water – combined energy readings are down in the 20s and 30s, which is just a flat, weak ocean. Not worth paddling out for.
Then, on Thursday the 13th, we get our first real chance. At Las Redes, the morning brings a glassy start with a little 2ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps up to 112, which is a decent step up and shows there’s a bit of push behind it. It’s one of those rare windows where it might actually be surfable, but honestly, it’s still pretty ordinary. You’ll need your longboard and a whole lot of patience. There will be waves, just not many, and not with any real power.
After that, it's back to the grind. The afternoons get chopped up again with moderate cross-onshore winds. The mornings of the 14th and 15th are glassy again, but the swell drops back down and the energy fades quickly. The 14th has a brief bit of life in the morning with a 2ft swell from the west, but it’s inconsistent. The 15th, early, looks similar, but it's all just background noise.
Saturday the 16th, we get a bit of a novelty. Early morning has a cross-offshore breeze from the ENE, which will clean things right up. The swell is small, 3ft from the WNW with a short 5-second period. All that means is some crumbly, soft waves. It’ll be clean, but not with any real push. This one is more about having a fun, playful paddle than any serious surfing.
The following week, from the 17th into the 23rd, is a write-off. The swell drops off a cliff. We’re talking 0.7ft to 1ft waves, mostly under 6-second periods, and a lot of wind chop. The water will stay warm, but the ocean will just look like a lake with a dirty surface. We're in for a long, flat spell. The only thing to get excited about is that the water temp is notably warm, about 5 degrees Fahrenheit above normal, but that doesn't help when there are no waves.
So here’s the deal. If you have to get wet, the glassy morning of the 13th is your best bet. It's the only day that has any real energy behind it. The 16th would be a close second for a cleaner, if weaker, wave. But for most of us, it’s going to be a week of sitting on the beach, watching the horizon, and waiting for the ocean to wake up.
Take care of your boards, keep your fins sharp, and we'll see you when the swell returns.
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.
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.
