The Lowdown
Alright, this is a bit of a tough one to call. Let's be straight with you – the whole 16-day window at Las Redes is a flat spell. We're looking at a real drought here, with no proper surf on offer at all.
It kicks off on Saturday the 8th of August. We're talking tiny, weak dribbles. Saturday morning you've got a 2ft swell from the west, with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined wave energy is a very weak 19. The water is 77°F and a notable 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year. The wind is glassy, which would normally be a dream, but there's just no energy to work with. That afternoon, it gets worse with a cross-onshore wind and a choppy 1ft.
Sunday the 9th is even smaller, with a 0.7ft swell in the morning. The wind is cross-offshore and clean, but there's nothing to ride. Monday the 10th has a bit more size, hitting 2ft, but the period is poor and the wind is cross-shore, making it a messy, choppy affair. The energy is moderate at 50, but it's all chop.
The whole week just limps along. We get a few glassy mornings, like Tuesday the 11th and Thursday the 13th, with the swell sitting around 2ft to 2ft, but the energy is weak (38 and 60) and the shape is non-existent. The wind is often cross-on or cross-shore, killing any chance of a clean wave.
The pattern continues into the second week. Mornings like Sunday the 16th offer a clean 2ft with offshore wind (energy only 30), but it's still just a dribble. The swell is too small and weak to hold any real shape. By Friday the 21st of August, the wind is howling from the southeast at 25 mph, with a messy, cross-onshore 4ft. That's a total write-off.
The final days, like the 23rd of August, are a sad end to a sad outlook. Glassy morning, but with a 0.7ft swell and an energy of just 3. There's nothing to get excited about.
For a spot like this, a blank run this long is just part of the deal. It's a sandbar that needs a proper push of swell to wake up, and that push just isn't coming. The setup is so poor here that with the stronger winds and small, crumbly waves, it honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. Put the board away for now and wait for a better forecast.

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.

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.
