The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next two weeks at Las Redes are looking like a real bust. I've got a 16-day window in front of me, and to be honest, there's barely a ripple worth paddling for. You're looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions with hardly any energy showing up. The water's sitting at a very unusual 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only notable thing.
The whole outlook is a flat spell. From now right through to the end of the period, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. There's a gap of several days with absolutely nothing to recommend, and even when there's a little bump in the water, it's tiny. The best you'll see is on Sunday, September 20th, where the afternoon shows a 5ft swell from the southeast, but that's a cross-shore wind at a strong 25 mph, making it messy. The combined wave energy there is moderate at 191, but with that wind, it's going to be a chop fest. That's too big for beginners anyway.
For the rest, we're talking ankle-biters. Most of the time you're looking at 0.7ft or 0.3ft swells with weak energy readings in the single digits or teens. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, and it's clean only on a few mornings but with next to no swell. There's a brief moment on Saturday, September 19th morning with a 3ft swell from the east-southeast and a clean cross-offshore breeze, but the energy is still only 81, so it's weak.
Honestly, this is a period to leave the board at home. If you're desperate for something, maybe the afternoon of the 20th offers a bit of size for experts only, but the quality is shot. For a beach-and-reef setup like this, it might actually look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on that day. The rest is just flat and frustrating. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a write-off.
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.
