The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving it to you straight for Redondo Beach.
It's looking like a lean stretch ahead, with a big gap of nothing much to start. The water temp is running 72°F, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year – more than 5°F above average, which is very unusual.
The first real glimmer of hope comes Friday, July 24th in the morning. The wind goes cross-offshore and the ocean smooths out. You get a clean 2 ft swell from the SSW with moderate energy (572), and the report says "expect very good surf conditions." The swell is running long at 24 seconds, so it’ll have some push and shape, but at a beach break, that long period can make the set waves wall up and close out. Still, for a small, clean session on a longboard, this is your best early call.
Sunday, July 26th morning is another one to circle. Same deal: cross-offshore wind from the SSE, clean 3 ft of SSW swell with strong energy (561), and a 19-second period. The setup looks clean and fun, just small. Get on it early.
From there, it’s mostly downhill. The second week is rough – more onshore winds and messy surf. By Saturday, August 1st, the swell pushes up to 4 ft, but it’s getting hammered by a 25 mph onshore wind. That combo is going to be a choppy, blown-out mess. Probably a better day for kiting than paddling.
Your two best shots are Friday, July 24th and Sunday, July 26th mornings. Clean, small, and glassy. Redondo can get crowded "sometimes", so expect some company on those clean days.
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.
