The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Las Redes over the next couple of weeks. I'll be straight with you – it's a quiet stretch.
We're looking at a long run of small, weak surf. For the first week and a half, the combined energy is mostly in the low double digits or even single digits, with a few days poking into the 200s but even those have poor conditions. The water is a notable 78°F right now, which is a whopping 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that's very unusual, so the water will feel like bathwater.
The first real chance for a surf comes on Sunday the 23rd of August, but it's tiny. We're talking about 1ft of swell from the west, with a period of 14 seconds. The energy is weak at 44, and the wind is a light onshore breeze from the SSW. It's not going to be any good.
Monday the 24th of August sees a bump in size – around 4ft to 4ft from the west, with moderate energy readings (201 and 204). But the wind is a messy cross-onshore from the SW and WSW, making for choppy conditions. It's a write-off.
Tuesday the 25th of August is the closest thing we have to a standout, but it's still not great. The morning has a tiny 3ft west swell (8-second period) with a light cross-offshore wind from the NW that keeps it clean. The energy is low at 97, so it's barely breaking. The afternoon gets a bit messier with a cross-shore breeze.
After that, it's all downhill. From Wednesday the 26th of August right through to Monday the 7th of September, the swell is consistently under 2ft and the energy is almost always below 50. There are a few glassy or clean moments, like Saturday the 29th of August morning with a glassy 2ft WNW swell, and Wednesday the 2nd of September morning with a glassy 2ft west swell, but the waves are just too small to paddle. Even the slightly bigger 4ft pulse on Thursday the 3rd of September is from the southeast with a cross-shore wind, making it choppy.
Truth is, there's nothing here for a surfer. The swell is too small and weak for the entire 16-day window, and when there's a bit of size, the wind spoils it. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for this area when the swell windows don't line up.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts. Things have to pick up eventually.
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.
