Table - best surf conditions forecast for Redondo Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf at Redondo Beach.
The water is a balmy 69° right now, which is a solid 4° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a real bonus, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.
The best window is the morning of Saturday the 11th. We’ve got a clean 2ft swell from the SSW with a long 15-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 209. The wind is a light SSE breeze making it cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean. The water is much warmer than normal, which is a nice touch. This spot is very consistent, but crowds are sometimes an issue, so get in early.
After that, things go south. Saturday afternoon turns marginal with a southerly cross breeze and a slight chop. Sunday the 12th is a no-go with cross-shore winds. Monday and Tuesday the 13th and 14th are poor, with onshore winds and small, weak swell. The energy drops to 153 on Tuesday morning, so it’s a real slog.
There’s a brief, quiet moment on the morning of Wednesday the 15th. The swell is tiny at 1ft, but it’s from the SW with a very long 18-second period, and the wind is glassy. The energy is moderate at 197. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. You’ll be scratching for anything.
Thursday the 16th through the following Tuesday the 21st is mostly a write-off. We see small swells, onshore or cross-onshore winds, and poor conditions. The energy picks up a bit on Tuesday the 21st with a 3ft SSW swell hitting 336 energy, but the wind is onshore from the WSW, so it’s going to be choppy and messy.
The only other look is on the mornings of Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th. The 25th morning has a 1ft, 21-second period groundswell, but cross-onshore winds keep it poor. The 26th morning has a bit more size at 2ft from the SW, with an 18-second period and cross-shore winds, making it marginal. The energy on the 26th morning is strong at 398, and that afternoon it hits 515, which is a lot of power for the size. It’s a tease, but the winds aren’t playing ball.
So, the honest truth? The best bet is the morning of Saturday the 11th. After that, you’re waiting over a week for a marginal look on the 26th. It’s not a great run, but that first window is a real cracker.
Rusty.

Information about the Redondo Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Redondo Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Redondo Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Redondo Beach 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 (Redondo Beach) 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 Redondo Beach 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.
