The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We've got a real flat spell on our hands for Las Redes. Looking at the entire 16-day run starting now, there's not a single session that I'd call good. In fact, the whole forecast is a bit of a bust.
The biggest issue is that for the first 11 days, from Tuesday the 18th of August right through to Friday the 28th, the swell is just too small and weak to offer anything worthwhile. We're talking ankle-snappers on the best days, with heights barely pushing 2 feet and combined energy values hanging in the weak range (mostly below 42). The wind is also not playing ball, with a persistent cross-onshore flow through much of that period, leaving the surface choppy and lumpy. It's a real shame because light offshore breezes do pop up on a few mornings but with zero or tiny swell, it doesn't matter.
The one moment that lifts the gloom a little is right at the tail end. On Saturday, the 29th of August, we finally see some life. The morning session has the wind going clean and cross-off from the NNW at 6 mph. Swell picks up to 4 feet from the SE, with energy climbing to a moderate 78. Still, it's only a 5-second period, so the waves won't have much push or shape. The afternoon gets even more interesting with combined energy hitting 107 and height up to 4 feet from the SE. But again, that short period and a cross-shore wind mean it's going to be a messy, sectiony affair.
Given the persistent small, weak, and short-period swell combined with a mostly poor wind direction (WSW onshore) for the rest of the run, this setup at Las Redes (sandbar) looks more interesting for a kite surfer needing a bit of wind than for a paddler. There's just no genuine stand-out moment to get excited about. Keep an eye on it though; it tends not to stay this quiet for long, and the forecasts can change.

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.

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.
