The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the coming weeks is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, flat spell for Las Redes, with nothing really worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off.
Looking at the data starting from Thursday, August 13th, we’ve got tiny, weak swell. We’re talking a meagre 2ft of swell from the west, with a combined energy reading of just 43 – that’s barely a ripple. On top of that, the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, making things choppy. The water temp is 79°, which is 7° above normal, so it feels a lot warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s little comfort when there’s no surf.
This flatness just drags on day after day. Through the rest of August and into early September, we keep seeing the same story: swell heights barely tickling 2ft, and even then, the period is short and weak. The wind hardly ever gives us a break, usually blowing from the WSW and messing up what little bump there is. There are long gaps with no surf at all – for example, from around the 18th through the 26th, the combined energy drops into single digits, which is about as flat as it gets.
There are a couple of mornings, like Friday the 28th of August, where we get a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NW and a little 2ft west swell, but with a combined energy of only 26, it’s just not enough to get excited about. Even for a beginner-friendly sandbar break like Las Redes, this is a frustrating stretch. For the kite crew, with those consistent cross-onshore winds, it might be a different story, but for us wave riders, it’s a bust.
No standouts here, I’m afraid. It’s a blank run that feels pretty normal for the area when the swells just don’t line up. We’ll have to wait and see if the forecasts change.
Stay tuned,
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.
