The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna be real with you, partner. Las Redes is looking at a long, flat stretch to kick things off. The swell is tiny, and the wind is all over the place, making a mess of things.
For the first week or so, from Wednesday the 12th through the weekend, it’s pretty grim. Swell heights are a measly 1 to 2 feet, with periods mostly under 10 seconds – that’s weak, short-period junk. The combined wave energy is low, barely cracking 30. The wind is mostly side or sideshore, chopping it up. There’s a brief moment on Friday morning, the 14th, with a light sideshore breeze and clean conditions, but the swell is still just 2 feet from the west. It’s the cleanest of a bad lot. On Monday the 17th, we get a glassy morning with zero wind, but again, the swell is only 1 feet with a 5-second period – that’s barely a ripple.
The flat spell drags on. We see a few more clean mornings, like on the 19th and 21st, with light offshore winds, but the swell never pushes above 2 feet. The energy is in the single digits to low teens. It’s a real bummer.
Then, there’s a flicker of hope. On Wednesday the 26th of August, the afternoon shows a pulse of swell. The height jumps to 4 feet from the ESE, with a 6-second period. The combined energy hits 118 (moderate). The wind is a light sideshore, so it’s a little bumpy, but there’s actual push in the water. This is the best we’ve seen. The next morning, Thursday the 27th, is even better: a light offshore breeze from the east, with 4 feet of ESE swell. The energy is 114. It’s still short period, so it’ll be a little crumbly, but it’s rideable and clean.
The standout is that Thursday morning, the 27th. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only window with clean, rideable waves. The swell is 4 feet from the ESE, and with that light offshore wind, it’ll be the cleanest of the whole run. That’s over a week away, so keep your fingers crossed. The rest of the time? It’s flat, choppy, or both. Water temp is a notable 79°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so the water will feel like a bathtub.
So, it’s a long wait for a short window, but that Thursday the 27th morning might just be worth the wait.

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.
