Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s cut through it: this Redondo Beach (United States) outlook is a tough one. The first decent surf doesn’t pop up until Saturday, July 6th, and even then, it’s a struggle.
The pattern is small, weak, and wind-affected. The first few days, July 4th and 5th, are a washout. Swell is 2ft to 2ft from the SSW, with a period of 14 seconds, but the wind is cross-on or onshore, making it bumpy. Water temp is 68°F, which is 5°F warmer than normal – that’s a big anomaly, feels like a warm pool.
The only real standout is Thursday morning, July 9th. We get a clean window with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE at 12 mph, and a 2ft SSW swell with an 18-second period. The combined energy is moderate (398). It’s small, but it’s the only morning where the report says “expect good surf conditions.” For a beginner spot like Redondo, that’s your best bet.
After that, it’s slim pickings. Saturday morning, July 11th, has a similar clean look with a light cross-off breeze, but the swell is still only 2ft and the energy is dropping (207). It’s rideable, but barely.
The second week is a snooze. From July 12th through July 19th, the swell stays 1ft to 2ft, mostly onshore, and the combined energy stays in the 100s – weak. The best of the weak is Wednesday morning, July 16th, with a 1ft SW swell and a 19-second period, but it’s cross-on and tiny. Long period on a beach break like this means mushy, straight walls.
So, one clean morning in 16 days: Thursday, July 9th. If you’re a beginner or just want to float in warm water, that’s your day. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you’ll have company but not a circus. Everyone else, maybe wait for a better forecast.
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.
