The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's see what's shaking for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook for Redondo Beach is a bit of a flat spell. The first decent surfable day doesn't roll in until Monday morning, the 27th of July. We’ve got a small, long-period groundswell from the SSW at about 3ft, but the period is a very long 18 seconds. That's a lot of energy in the water for such a small wave—the combined energy is moderate at 589. The real bummer is the wind is light and cross-shore, which will put some bump on the surface. The water is a warm 72°, which is over 5° warmer than usual for this time of year, so that's a real treat on the skin. This isn't a standout session; it's just something to get wet on.
The pattern for the rest of the week is pretty weak. Tuesday morning, the 28th, actually cleans up nicely with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE, and the same 3ft swell from the SSW. The combined energy is still moderate at 567, and the period is 17 seconds. This is about as good as it gets, but it's still small. The waves will be clean, but you won't be getting your back foot in the wax much. Wednesday morning, the 29th, offers a similar clean look but with even less size, dropping to about 3ft. After that, things get messy with onshore winds and poor conditions for the rest of the week and into the weekend.
From the 2nd of August onward, we hit a proper lull. The swell drops to 2ft or less, and the combined energy falls into the weak category, under 150. The winds are mostly cross-offshore or light, so the water will look clean, but there's just no power to push you around. This flat, quiet pattern will last for a good four or five days.
A slight flicker of life appears on the 7th of August. The swell picks up a little to 2ft from the SSW, but the period jumps back up to 19 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 283. Still, the wind is cross-onshore, keeping it messy. The weekend of the 8th and 9th of August is more of the same: small, onshore, and forgettable. The long-range stuff further into the second week does nothing to change the story. It's a long stretch of marginal conditions.
The best you can hope for is that Tuesday morning, the 28th of July, with the cleanest winds and the best window of surf. It's not a day to burn a sickie for, but it's the only bright spot in a pretty flat two weeks.
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.
