The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Redondo Beach over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this outlook is a tough one. The first week and a half is pretty grim. The swell is tiny, barely pushing 2ft, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things messy. The water is much warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 70°F (a full 5°F above normal), which is very unusual. But that’s the only notable thing for a while. We’re looking at a real dry spell from Monday, July 13th, all the way through the end of the week. The wave energy is weak, sitting between 100 and 200 (moderate), but it’s just not enough to get excited about.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday morning, July 18th. The wind turns light and cross-offshore from the SSE, which should clean things up nicely. The swell bumps up a touch to 2ft from the SW, with a long period of 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy jumps to 279 (moderate). This is the standout window for the near term. It’s small, but clean. It’s a good one for the longboard or a fun log.
Then we hit another flat, windy stretch through the following week. The wind stays on it, and the surf is very ordinary. The swell finally starts to build again on Thursday morning, July 23rd, with a 4ft swell from the S, but the wind is messy and onshore in the afternoon. The water temp anomaly info is only provided for the first entry, so we can’t say much else about it.
The best bet on the whole forecast is Saturday morning, July 18th. Redondo Beach is a very consistent, exposed beach break, so it will pick up whatever is out there. The 2ft, 18-second SW groundswell will be clean thanks to the light cross-offshore breeze. It’s small, but it’s the only time the conditions really align. Keep an eye on it, but don’t expect a classic.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
