The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with each other – this stretch of the forecast is looking pretty flat for your usual paddle session. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but the honest truth is there’s nothing on the cards that’s going to get the heart pumping. The swell energy is just too weak to build anything rideable for a surfer.
We’ll be looking at a whole lot of blank days in a row. The first recommendation doesn't really show up at all in a meaningful way, and the guide tells us that Las Redes is only a fairly consistent spot when conditions are right. This kind of flat run is a tough one, but it’s not unusual for the area when the swell directions are all over the place and tiny.
We kick it off on Saturday the 12th of September. The morning has a tiny little 0.3ft swell out of the west with a short 7-second period, and the combined swell energy is just 1 (weak). The wind is a cross-off from the east at 12 mph, so the water would look clean, but there’s no wave to surf. The afternoon isn't any better – a 0.3ft swell with a cross-shore wind.
Sunday the 13th is more of the same poor surf with a 0.7ft swell, even if the morning is clean with a cross-off breeze. We go through the entire first week like this. Monday the 14th brings a spike in that combined energy to 111 (moderate) in the afternoon with a 4ft swell from the southeast, but the period is a paltry 6 seconds and the wind is a messy cross-shore. It’s what I’d call a kite-surfing breeze, not a surfing wave.
The whole of the second week into the third is a total bust. We see a lot of cross-onshore and onshore winds, and those tiny swell heights never push past the 5ft mark on Sunday the 20th of September, which is the biggest of the run. Even then, it’s a 5ft south-east swell with a 6-second period, the combined energy is 124 (moderate), but the wind is straight onshore and the whole thing looks lumpy and choppy. Just poor quality.
There are no standout days here, no hidden gems. Any long-range look at the 26th and 27th of September still shows that weak energy with a combined rating of only 34 (weak) and a tiny 1ft swell with a clean breeze, but it’s nothing to get excited about. Periods do stretch out over 12 seconds on a few occasions, but the swell height is simply not there to use it.
Honestly, if you are a surfer, you can leave the boards at home for this one. The setup looks far more suited to a kite than a paddle.
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.
