About Las Redes
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SW (243°), so it takes swell from the SW. The wind blows offshore from the NE (63°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 850 m out (1 in 85). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 16°C in January, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 24°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January, February, November and December, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is El Puerto de Santa María, 4.1 km away (about 10 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots and 2 wind sports spots.
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
