The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days at Las Redes are a tough watch. The forecast is a long, flat stretch of tiny, weak waves and cross-shore winds that just won’t give us a break. We’re looking at a solid gap of nothing special from the start right through to the end of the second week.
The first real chance we see for anything even remotely surfable is on the morning of Monday, August 11th. The water is running at a much warmer than normal 77° for this time of year, which is nice for a paddle, but the waves are just sad. We’re talking a tiny 2ft swell from the WNW, with a combined energy of just 35. That’s barely a ripple. The wind is glassy, though, so it will be clean. But honestly, it’s still poor surf conditions.
The only other moments that catch the eye are the mornings of Thursday, August 14th, and Sunday, August 16th. On the 14th, we get a clean, cross-offshore wind from the NNW with a 1.0ft WNW swell. On the 16th, same deal, clean cross-offshore from the NW with a 1ft WNW swell. The combined energy is laughably low at 12 and 24 respectively. These are maybe the best of a bad bunch, but they’re still not worth getting excited about. The swell is too small and weak to do anything meaningful.
The real kicker? The swell direction is from the WNW, but this break works best with a WSW swell. Everything is out of sync. There’s no stand-out session here. It’s just a whole lot of waiting for a swell that never shows up.
Stay patient, but don’t hold your breath. This is just a quiet spell for the area.
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.
