Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright friends, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s happening.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet spell. The water is about average temp for this time of year, nothing unusual. The first day that looks even worth thinking about is Thursday the 9th. Before that, we’ve got a few days of small, onshore junk—nothing to get the heart racing.
The pick of the entire forecast is Thursday morning the 9th at Redondo Beach. We’ve got a nice clean, light offshore breeze from the SSE at about 6 mph, which means the surface will be glassy and smooth. Swell is tiny at 3 ft from the SSW, but the period is a long 16 seconds, so there’s some real groundswell energy moving through. That long period will give the waves shape, even if they’re small. Combined swell energy is moderate (372). It’s a very consistent spot, so you’ll have waves coming through. The wind is offshore, which is a big positive here.
After that, it’s pretty bleak. From Friday the 10th onward, we’re mostly looking at poor conditions. The mornings of Tuesday the 14th and Saturday the 18th have clean wind, but the swell is only 1 ft to 2 ft—that’s barely a ripple. Combined energy drops into the 150–240 range, which is very weak. The period stays long-ish (13–18 seconds), but there’s just no height to work with.
There’s a long gap of several days from the 12th to the 17th where the surf is poor or nonexistent. By the 20th, the energy crashes to just 90, which is pretty flat.
So, your best bet is that Thursday morning the 9th at Redondo Beach. The rest of the window is mostly a write-off. It’s a consistent break, so when something shows up, you’ll know, but this stretch is slim pickings.
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.
