The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. I’m looking at the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a struggle. We’ve got a solid gap of no real surf on offer. The first few days are flat, and it’s looking like a long wait. Nothing really worth paddling out for until maybe the second week, and even then, it’s a gamble.
Right now, through the first week of September, it’s a ghost town. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, and the winds are all over the place. We’re looking at a big gap here. The first bit of action that even registers is around Friday the 13th and Saturday the 14th, but even that’s a stretch. It’s a long, quiet stretch.
Alright, let’s talk about the one spot we’ve got: Las Redes. It’s a sandbar setup, fairly consistent, but it’s on the smaller side. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
The first real pulse of energy shows up on the morning of Friday the 13th of September. We’ve got a 5ft swell coming from the SE, with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 121. It’s a bit of a lumpy mess, though, with a fresh cross-shore wind. Not great. That afternoon, it drops to 4ft, still SE, still short period (6 seconds), and the energy is 111. The wind is still messy. It’s not the cleanest, but it’s something.
Then on Saturday the 14th, the morning stays small. But the afternoon of the 14th? That’s the standout. We get a glassy, 3ft swell from the ESE. The period is short at 5 seconds, but the glassy conditions are a major win. For a spot like this, clean conditions are everything. The wind is dead calm, making for some smooth, rideable waves. It’s not big, but it’ll be the cleanest we see.
Sunday the 15th is flat again. Monday the 16th... nothing. The rest of the run is a washout. The swell stays tiny, the winds get strong, and it’s just not worth it. For the second week, it’s all tiny, weak energy and lumpy winds. The offers are really just a few brief moments.
Don’t get your hopes up too high for the second week. It’s a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and messy winds. The best bet is that glassy afternoon on the 14th.
Rusty out.

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.
