The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – if you’re looking for a surf this fortnight, you’re in for a long wait. The next 16 days are a total write-off, a flat spell that’s hard to stomach. There’s just nothing on offer for a proper paddle. The only spot in the game is Las Redes, a sandbar setup that’s beginner-friendly and fairly consistent, but the conditions are just not cooperating.
The problem? The winds are a mess. For most of the first week, we’re seeing cross-shore and cross-onshore breezes, mostly from the WNW and WSW, in the 9 to 16 mph range. That’s blowing the chop right across the face, making it ugly. The wave energy is weak – mostly two-digit numbers in the 30s and 40s (34, 23, 16, etc.), with a tiny 1 to 3 ft WNW windswell that’s got a short, gutless period, mostly 4 to 7 seconds. That’s onshore slop, not surf.
There’s a brief moment of calm early on Tuesday, August 11th, with glassy conditions and a 2 ft swell from the W, but the wave energy is still pitiful (36) and the swell period is only 6 seconds – not enough push to make it worthwhile. The same goes for Wednesday, August 12th morning: glassy again, but only a 2 ft W swell with a 5-second period. It’s pretty, but there’s no power.
Then we hit a real gap. From August 14th onwards, the swell energy does bump up to 143 on the Friday morning, but it’s still only 3 ft from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the wind is onshore. Saturday the 15th is a complete dead zone with no swell height at all. You’d be better off looking at kites, not paddles, because the cross-shore winds and small chop are more suited to that.
August 16th morning has a glassy moment with a 2 ft W swell, but again, the energy is weak (45) and the period is short. The rest of the run is more of the same: tiny, weak, and blown out.
This is a long, bleak stretch. For an area where consistent surf can be tough to come by, this blank run isn’t unusual, but it’s a bummer. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s simply no surf to recommend. Hang up the board for a bit, boys.
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.
