The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real with you. It’s a pretty bleak stretch on the horizon for Las Redes. I’m looking at the whole 16-day window, and I’ve got to tell you, there isn’t a single day that gets the heart pumping. We’ve got a flat spell coming, and it’s going to hang around for the vast majority of this period.
The overall pattern is just a whole lot of nothing. Wave energy is weak, with the combined swell energy staying in the low double digits for most of the run—we’re talking readings like 33, 46, 25, and 28. That’s not surf, that’s just a lake with a pulse. The swell heights are mostly 2ft or smaller, and the periods are often short, 5 to 7 seconds, which means it’s going to be a dribble, not a wave.
Right off the bat, Sunday the 9th through Thursday the 14th, it’s all poor surf conditions. We’ve got mornings with glassy conditions but just no swell to work with, and afternoons getting chopped up by cross and cross-onshore winds. The swell is coming from the WNW, but it’s tiny. Water temp is 77°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a silver lining if you want to float around, but you won’t be riding much.
The only real window of opportunity, and I use that term loosely, comes around the 15th and 16th. We see a slight bump in the swell energy, jumping to 50 and then 32, and there's a morning with a cross-offshore wind from the E on the 16th that cleans things up. The swell is still only 2ft from the WNW, with a period of 5 seconds, so it’ll be small and soft. But it’s the only time the conditions might align enough for a fun, small-wave session. It’s still not going to be world-class, but it’s the closest we get.
After that, it just fades away again. From the 17th through the 24th, we’re back to tiny waves and poor surf conditions. There is a brief bit of energy on the 13th and 14th with the combined swell energy hitting 59, but the winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell height is still only around 2ft. It’s just frustration.
Honestly, for a beginner, this is all fine. Anything under 5ft is manageable, but there’s just so little of it. If you’re an expert, you won’t even bother. The only positive I can pull from this is that the break is fairly consistent in that it’s always there, but with this little push, it’s not going to be worth paddling out for much more than a splash.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Sunday the 16th. Get up early, catch that clean window with the light offshore breeze, and maybe grab a couple of small ones. It’s a long wait for not much, but it’s something.

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.
