Las Redes Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Las Redes.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch is looking pretty flat. We’ve got a whole lot of nothing for the first week and a bit. The waves are small, the periods are short, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, which is about as exciting as a flat tyre. This sandbar at Las Redes is a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and it gets a bit of exposure to the swell, but it just isn’t firing. The water temp is about what you’d expect this time of year, nothing unusual.

We kick off on Tuesday the 28th of July with a tiny 2 ft swell from the SE, period of just 5 seconds, and a cross breeze. The combined energy is a weak 19. By afternoon it’s a bit bigger at 4 ft but still short period and choppy. Honestly, it’s poor.

Wednesday the 29th is even smaller, with a morning swell of 1 ft from the ESE and a 3-second period – that’s barely a ripple. Thursday the 30th morning offers a clean look with a light cross-offshore wind, but the swell is only 1 ft from the west. The energy is just 7. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.

Friday the 31st morning is clean again, with 1 ft from the WNW, but still tiny. The whole first week into the start of August is a write-off. We’ve got days of 1 ft, 1 ft, with combined energy stuck in the teens and twenties. It’s not until the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August that we see a tiny 1 ft clean swell, and then the afternoon picks up a little to 2 ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, energy hitting 87. Still poor conditions, though.

There’s a gap of poor surf right through to the morning of Saturday the 8th of August, where we see a slightly better 3 ft from the WNW with a 5-second period and clean conditions. Energy is 67. It’s the biggest we’ve seen, but the period is short and the swell is weak. The afternoon goes messy again.

The last few days of the forecast, from the 10th to the 12th of August, keep the theme going: small, short-period swells from the west, mostly cross or cross-on winds, and energy levels that never crack 100. The morning of Tuesday the 11th of August has a 3 ft swell from the west, 6-second period, and a light cross-onshore with combined energy of 50 – still not enough to get excited about.

So, the honest truth is there are no standout sessions here. Not a single day that I’d call good. The whole 16-day window is a bust. If you’re a kite surfer, the stronger afternoon winds and choppy conditions might be more your thing, but for paddle surfing, you’re better off finding something else to do. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run.
