The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let me walk you through Redondo Beach for the next 16 days. To be straight with you, it’s a pretty quiet run – mostly small, weak swell and wind that messes with the surface. Water temp is about 73°F, which is way warmer than normal – over 7°F above average – so the water feels like a bath.
Nothing much to get excited about until Monday, September 21st. That’s your best window. On the morning of the 21st, you’ll see a clean 3ft swell out of the SW, with a 17-second period – proper groundswell, long and lined up. Combined energy is 401 (moderate to strong), and light SSE winds make it cross-off, so it’ll be glassy. The direction is spot on for the optimum W. That’s the session to circle.
Before that, Tuesday the 15th through Sunday the 20th is mostly tiny – 1.0 to 2ft SW swell – with cross-on or onshore winds. Periods range from 7 to 20 seconds, but the small size and wind kill it. A few mornings like Wednesday the 16th show a 2ft SSW swell with clean cross-off wind, but it’s still very small.
After the 21st, Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd bring 2 to 3ft SW swell but with onshore or cross-on wind, so choppy. Energy drops back. Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th are similar – 2ft SW swell, onshore wind, weak 14-second period.
Sunday the 27th has a tiny 1ft pulse with a very long 21-second period – slow and drawn out, best on a point, but it’ll be clean in the morning with SE cross-off wind. Then Monday the 28th offers a 2ft SW groundswell (20-second period) with light SSE cross-off wind, energy at 309 (moderate). Clean, but still small.
The standout is Monday the 21st morning. Get on it. The rest? You’re waiting for decent conditions that mostly don’t show. But Redondo’s fairly consistent, so something better could pop up.

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.
