The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's happening at Las Redes.
Honestly, the first week and a half is a real bummer. From the 1st of August all the way through to the morning of the 12th, there's basically nothing worth paddling out for. It's a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and a lot of sloppy onshore wind. The combined swell energy is barely a whisper, mostly in the weak 20s and 30s, and even down to 6 at one point. You'd be wasting your time and energy.
Finally, on the morning of Wednesday, the 12th of August, there's a little pulse. Swell comes in at a tiny 3ft from the west, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 115, which is a bit of life. The real standout is the wind—it's glassy, dead calm. That's a massive positive for a sandbar break like this, promising a clean, slick surface. The crowds are listed as "sometimes," so you might have a few others with the same idea. It's a fairly consistent break, so it should hold a little shape at that size. While the swell is small, the glassy conditions make it the best on offer across the entire outlook. It's still a beginner-friendly wave at that size. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
The afternoon of the 12th gets a little more energy, up to 140, but the wind swings cross-onshore and it gets messy again. The 9th of August morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze on a 3ft swell, but the energy is still weak at 58. The 15th of August has a bit more size, about 4ft, but it's a short-period, choppy mess. The morning of the 16th has a 3ft swell with a direct onshore wind, which is no good for a clean wave.
So, the only real window to paddle out is the morning of the 12th of August. It’s not going to be pumping, but a clean, glassy 3ft wave is infinitely better than anything else in this forecast. For the rest of it, you’re better off finding something else to do.
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.
