The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s look at this in feet and Fahrenheit.
The outlook for the next 16 days at Redondo Beach is mostly a flat spell, with one morning that might actually be worth getting out of bed for.
The standout is Tuesday morning, July 28th. Swell is a touch under 3ft (0.9m) from the SSW, with a long 17-second period – that’s proper groundswell with good energy. The combined swell energy is moderate (559). The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE, so the surface will be clean and glassy. That’s your best window. It’s small enough for beginners, but still fun for anyone.
Wednesday morning, July 29th is also clean, with a 0.8m (about 3ft) SSW swell and a cross-offshore wind, but the energy is down (349) and the period is a bit shorter at 16 seconds. Still worth a look if you missed Tuesday.
After that, from July 31st through to August 10th, the swell drops to 2ft or less, the energy is weak (often under 166), and the wind is usually onshore or cross-onshore. It’s a long run of poor to flat conditions. The afternoons are especially ugly.
Water temperature is 72°F, which is 7° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a big anomaly, so the water will feel unusually warm.
So, the call is simple: Tuesday morning, July 28th, is your only real shot. After that, it’s dry and quiet until the forecasts change.
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.
