Redondo Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer down at Redondo Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Truth be told, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The swell is small and inconsistent, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so we’re not looking at anything that’ll get the heart racing. There’s a gap of several days at the start with no real recommendations, before we get a few glimpses of something rideable. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The best of the bunch looks like Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th in the mornings. On Thursday morning, we’ve got a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the SSE, which is a real treat. The swell is a small 2 ft from the SW with a period of 17 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell, so it’ll have some shape and energy, but at a beach break like this it might break a bit straight. The combined energy is moderate at 328. Friday morning is similar, with 2 ft from the SW and a 16-second period, and again clean cross-offshore winds. These are the standouts, but they’re small, so it’s more about getting a few fun ones than anything substantial.

The rest of the week is mostly marginal or poor. Tuesday afternoon the wind picks up to 16 mph onshore, and the swell drops. Wednesday morning has a tiny 1 ft swell with a very long 19-second period, but the wind is cross-on, so it’s not going to be great. The weekend is a write-off, with onshore winds and small, weak swell.

Into the second week, there’s a bit of a pulse around Friday the 18th morning – a 2 ft swell from the SW with a 19-second period, combined energy at 501 (moderate), and light cross-shore winds. It’s marginal, but of the options in the second week, that’s the one to watch. Then Saturday the 19th morning has a 5 ft swell from the W with a short 7-second period, which is more size but choppy and wind-affected – likely a bit messy for paddling, but the wind is light cross-shore, so it might be worth a look if you’re keen.

Overall, don’t expect much. The best windows are the Thursday and Friday mornings of the first week, but keep your expectations low. If the swell and wind don’t come together, it’s going to be a lean fortnight.

Rusty.
