The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s heading our way.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. Looking at the full 16-day window, we’ve got a serious drought on our hands. Every single day in the forecast is marked as poor surf conditions. There’s no real swell to speak of, and the waves that do show up are weak and disorganised. The energy is pitiful, mostly in the single digits or low double-digits, never breaking past 68 (combined energy of all swells directed here). It’s a long, quiet stretch.
The water is sitting at 76°F right now, which is a solid 4°F warmer than what’s normal for this time of year – that’s pretty notable. Feels like a warm bath out there.
The first real chance of anything is on Thursday the 3rd of September. We’ll see a tiny bump in the afternoon with a 4ft swell from the ESE, but it’s a short-period 5 seconds and the wind is a cross-shore. The surf is still rated poor. Honestly, it’s not worth paddling out for.
The best of a bad bunch might be Friday morning, the 4th of September. The swell is 3ft from the ESE, still short period at 5 seconds, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the E at 6 mph. That’ll keep the surface clean. The energy is still weak at 55 (combined energy of all swells directed here). It’s a beginner-friendly wave at Las Redes, but it’s inconsistent and frankly, you’re not missing much.
There’s a period of glassy, clean conditions on Sunday morning, the 6th of September, with no wind and a 1ft swell from the WNW. But at that size, you’re floating not surfing.
For the rest of the second week, the story doesn’t change. Tiny swells, poor winds, and the occasional cross-on or onshore mess. Nothing stands out. This is a classic blank run for this area – it’s not unusual to have a stretch like this.
Bottom line: if you absolutely have to get wet, aim for Friday morning the 4th at Las Redes for the cleanest bump. Otherwise, save your energy and wait for the next system. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s looking grim.

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.
