The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what Las Redes has on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it's a pretty quiet outlook. We're looking at a long stretch of flat, weak surf from now through the first few days of September. Lots of tiny waves and poor conditions, nothing to get excited about. The swell is small, the periods are short, and there's barely any energy in the water. It'll be a quiet one on the sand.
We do get a little bump on Thursday the 3rd of September. The afternoon brings 1.7m of ESE swell, but it's a short 6-second period with onshore wind. The combined energy hits 178 (moderate), but it'll be messy. That one's a pass for a paddle, might be more fun for a kite with that cross-onshore wind.
Another little pulse shows up on the afternoon of Friday the 4th of September, with 1.5m of ESE swell at 6 seconds. Again, the wind is cross-onshore, leaving small ripples on the surface. Not clean.
The one real standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Sunday the 13th of September. We've got 1.1m of SE swell with a 6-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NW. The combined energy is 109 (moderate). It's a long way out, so don't bank on it, but that's the only session that looks surfable. The waves will be small and nothing special, but with that offshore wind, you'll get clean, uncrowded lines at Las Redes. Water temp is about normal for the season.
For the rest of the fortnight, it's all tiny, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross-shore breezes. Keep the stick in the shed and check back closer to the 13th.
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.
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.
