Alright, let’s switch to feet and degrees Fahrenheit. Rusty here again, same Redondo forecast.
Redondo Beach is on a consistent but small pulse for the next couple weeks. Swell mostly 2 to 3 ft from the SSW or SW – not the ideal direction (a more westerly angle would be better). Wind is the real killer: afternoons get trashed by onshores, so you have to surf mornings. Even then, most mornings are marginal or poor.
Your first real chance is Saturday, July 11. Early morning: clear skies, cross-offshore breeze from the SSE at 9 mph making it glassy. Swell 2 ft from the SSW, 15-second period – groundswell energy, but small. Combined energy moderate (210). Should be clean little waves. Crowds might be around but not crazy.
Then a dead spell – days of 1 ft junk. Nothing worth paddling for until Saturday, July 18. That morning offers another clean window: cross-offshore from the SE at 6 mph, glassy. Swell 2 ft from the SW with an 18-second period – very long period for the size. Combined energy 292. Again, not big, but that kind of period with light wind can give you some surprisingly fun rides. Heads up: long-period groundswell at a beach break can be a bit straight, but on a good bank it’ll work.
Those two Saturday mornings are your standout windows. The rest? Mostly small and choppy. Water temp is normal for mid-July.
Rusty out.

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.
