Las Redes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Las Redes.

Truth be told, mate, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and bleak for a paddle. There’s really nothing worth getting excited about across the entire 16-day window. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions, with the first few days offering next to nothing. From Friday the 11th all the way through to about Wednesday the 24th, it’s a wasteland of tiny, weak, and often messy waves. The water temp is sitting at a balmy 77°F – that’s 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s notably warm if you fancy a swim, but the waves just aren't cooperating.

The only flicker of something happens on Friday morning the 11th. It’s small, just 1 foot from the west with a 7-second period, but the wind is a clean cross-off from the east at 9 mph. It’s clean, but there’s almost no energy – combined swell energy is only 14 – so you’d be on a longboard scratching for ankle-biters. That’s about the best of it, and that’s saying nothing.

Friday afternoon the 11th sees a tiny bump to 4 feet from the ESE, but the period drops to a pathetic 5 seconds and the wind swings onshore. That’s a no-go. The next week is more of the same: tiny waves under a foot, poor wind, and combined energy readings barely cracking double digits. It’s not even worth listing the days individually.

Around Monday the 22nd and Tuesday the 23rd, there’s a bit of a pulse in the swell period – hitting 12 to 13 seconds – but the heights are still pitiful at less than a foot. You get a clean window Tuesday morning the 22nd with a cross-off from the northwest at 12 mph, but there’s nothing to ride.

Later on, Thursday the 24th morning has offshore winds from the northeast at 6 mph, and the swell period stretches to 13 seconds, but again, it’s just under a foot. Friday the 25th morning shows a very long period of 18 seconds from the west, but with only a few inches of height and combined energy of 9, it’s a ghost swell.

The very last day, Saturday the 26th morning, has glassy conditions with a north-easterly breeze at 3 mph, and a 1-foot west swell at 13 seconds, but again, the energy is only 32. It’s pretty, but it’s not surfable.

Forget about kite surfing too – the wind isn’t strong or consistent enough to be interesting for that either. Honestly, this is a proper dry spell. It’s one of those periods where the forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long, but as it stands right now, leave the boards at home.

Rusty.
