The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks in feet and miles per hour.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch for Redondo Beach. The first week is mostly flat and messy. The water is a warm 70° right now, which is way above normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing breaking the boredom.
The one real bright spot lands on Saturday, July 25th. That morning, we’ve got a clean 2ft SW swell (21-second period – that’s a long period groundswell) with a light SSE breeze keeping it cross-offshore. The combined energy is a solid 914 (moderate energy), and it’s the only session in the whole run marked as “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s your winner. Paddle out early, because by afternoon the wind goes onshore and it’s all over.
Before that, you’ve got a tiny little window on Saturday, July 18th. Morning brings 2ft SW swell (18-second period), light cross-offshore wind, and combined energy of 279. It’s clean, but it’s small. Surfable, but nothing to get hyped about.
From Sunday, July 19th through Thursday, July 24th, it’s a lot of tiny, choppy, or blown-out junk. Don’t bother. After the 25th, we drop back into marginal conditions with cross-onshore and onshore winds for the rest of the month. The morning of Thursday, July 30th shows a clean 2ft SW swell (15-second period) with moderate energy (226), but it’s not a standout.
So, here’s the plan: clear your morning for Saturday, July 25th. That’s the only real quality window in the whole 16 days. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
