The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same story but in feet, miles, and Fahrenheit.
Redondo Beach isn’t cooking up much over the next two weeks. Most days you’re looking at small, long-period groundswell from the SW/SSW – around 2ft to 3ft, with periods 14–18 seconds. The long period brings good energy (combined numbers mostly in the 200–750 range), but on a beach break it can make the waves a bit walled and tricky. The water temp is a balmy 71°F, which is 6° warmer than average – super unusual, so you’ll be comfortable in trunks.
The only real highlight is Saturday 25 July morning. We get a light SSE breeze coming cross-offshore, the swell is 2ft from the SSW with a 21-second period, and the wave energy is solid (577). It’ll be glassy clean, with those long-period lines rolling in. Expect crowds – this spot gets busy when it’s good. For beginners, 2ft is fine, but the long period adds some punch.
The rest of the forecast is a mix of marginal mornings and choppy afternoons. Friday 24 July morning has similar energy (575) but the wind is cross-on, so not as tidy. Later, Wednesday 29 July morning offers a cross-off breeze but the swell stays small (3ft) and energy drops (464). By Sunday 2 August morning, it’s a tiny 1ft clean wave with barely any push (126). Not worth the drive.
Bottom line: if you want the best of a lackluster stretch, hit Saturday 25 July morning. Otherwise, you’ll be scratching around.
Stay salty,
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.
