The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be real – this is a tough stretch for Las Redes. We've got a long, long gap of flat, poor conditions ahead. The first real recommendation doesn't pop up until Monday the 11th of August, and even then, it's a bit of a stretch.
Looking at the whole run, the swell energy is painfully weak. We're talking combined energy values mostly in the teens and twenties (31, 25, 45), barely pushing into the 70s (79) on a couple of occasions. The swell direction is almost exclusively from the west and west-northwest, which is a pretty solid direction for this sandbar, but the size just isn't there. We're looking at a constant 1ft to 3ft range. The period is mostly short, between 4 and 8 seconds, meaning these are weak, local windswells, not any real groundswell. With energy this low, you're basically fighting for a knee-high bump.
The best of the bunch looks to be around Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th of August. Thursday morning we have a glassy, calm surface with 3ft from the west at a period of 9 seconds. That combined energy hits 79 – the highest we'll see. It's still not big, but the glassy wind is a major positive. That's your best shot at something clean and rideable, even if it's small. Friday morning is similar with a 3ft west swell and glassy conditions, but with slightly less energy (56). Crowds are possible here at Las Redes, so don't be surprised if you see a few others on the same idea.
Honestly, for the rest of the run, it's a write-off. The winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping the surface chopped up. There are a couple of clean windows – like the morning of Sunday the 16th with a cross-offshore wind – but the swell is still tiny and weak. After the 15th of August, the energy just drops off a cliff, with combined energy values falling into single digits (9, 7, 5) for days. That's barely a ripple.
If you're desperate for a paddle, wait for that Thursday the 13th or Friday the 14th morning glass-off. Otherwise, leave the board at home.
Rusty.

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.
