The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here. We’ve got a bleak 16-day window for Las Redes. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the surf is practically non-existent. The whole period is a write-off. There are no good surf options on the cards. The swell is tiny, the wind is almost always cross or onshore, and honestly, it looks like the ocean is asleep.
The first real chance of anything rideable is a ghost of a chance. On the 7th of August, Friday afternoon, you’ll find a tiny 1ft swell from the WNW, but it’s a cross-on wind and the energy is a pathetic 23 (weak). It’s pretty much a flat, choppy mess. The water is a warm 77°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s the only silver lining.
The days just roll by with the same sad story. Tiny swells, poor conditions. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th see a tiny bump in swell to 2ft and 3ft, but the energy is still low (25 and 42), and the wind is never your friend. The whole first week is a total gap. You’ll be sitting on the beach, not in the water.
Into the second week, it’s more of the same. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August when the wind goes glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft from the west with only 23 energy. It’s flat, mate. The morning of the 13th of August has a clean cross-off wind and a 2ft swell, but the energy is still only 58. It’s not enough to get excited about.
The rest of the week is a blur of tiny, cross-onshore junk. The swell tries to show up from the southeast on the 16th, but it’s short period (4 to 5 seconds) and the energy is low. It’s just a messy, weak windswell.
The last few days, the 21st and 22nd of August, are the same story. A glassy morning on the 21st with a 3ft WNW swell, but the energy is a measly 59. It’s just not enough. The biggest swell of the whole period hits on the afternoon of the 22nd – a 4ft from the SE, but it’s cross-on with 93 energy. Still not enough to make it worthwhile.
Look, for a beginner-friendly spot like Las Redes, this is a normal blank run. It’s a sandbar that needs a good push, and it’s just not getting it. Don’t waste your time. The forecasts can always change, but right now, you’re better off finding a new hobby for a couple of weeks.

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.
