The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, translating for the imperial crew. It's going to be a quiet, drawn-out period at Redondo Beach with a lot of small, average surf before anything really looks worth a session.
The first real chance to get wet will be on Thursday, September 10th. The morning is your best call with a 2ft swell from the SW, period hanging around 17 seconds. It's a long-period groundswell, so it carries some energy (combined energy of 347), but the wave size is tiny. Winds are light and cross-offshore from the SE, making it clean. The water temp is running a very unusual 73°, way warmer than normal. It's surfable, but barely more than a ripple. The rest of that day and the next few are all marginal – small, weak, and nothing to get excited about.
We hit a real dry spell through the middle of the month. Most days are a write-off with onshore wind or just tiny, gutless swells. It's one of those frustrating flat spells where you're just waiting.
Looking ahead, the one true standout pops up on Saturday, September 19th. The Saturday morning session is the one to aim for. We've got a tiny 2ft groundswell from the SW, period at 18 seconds, and the wind is forecast to be glassy. The combined energy is 259, still weak, but that glassy wind is the golden ticket. For Redondo Beach, clean, glassy conditions on even a small long-period swell can give you some fun, rideable little waves on a longboard. The afternoon gets ruined by a 12 mph onshore wind, so it's a morning-only window.
Following that, Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd of September see the swell nudge up to 2ft-3ft from the SW, but the winds are onshore or cross-on, making it choppy and messy. Not worth the effort.
Finally, Wednesday the 23rd of September morning offers another clean window. A 2ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period and light cross-offshore winds from the SSE. Again, it's small, but clean. That's your pattern for this stretch – pick the clean morning windows.
Bottom line: don't expect much. The Saturday the 19th morning is the highlight for that glassy, clean surface, even if the waves are small. The Thursday the 10th morning is your other decent bet.
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.
