The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s break down the next sixteen days for Redondo Beach.
The real standout is Saturday the 25th, morning session. We’ve got a clean 2ft swell out of the southwest with a very long period of 21 seconds – that’s real groundswell, wrapping in proper. Wind is light and cross-offshore from the SSE, so the waves will be clean and glassy. Combined energy is moderate at 513. Water temp is 72°, which is a solid 6° warmer than normal – that’s very unusual, so you’ll be comfy in shorts. This is the best window by far.
Saturday afternoon falls apart. Wind turns cross-on and the surf gets messy.
Sunday the 26th through Monday the 27th are just okay. Mornings have clean-ish conditions with 3ft to 3ft swell and long periods, but it’s not as clean as Saturday. Afternoons get choppy.
Tuesday the 28th morning is your second-best option. Light cross-offshore wind, 3ft of SSW swell at 17 seconds, and moderate energy at 571. Nice and clean.
Wednesday the 30th and Thursday the 31st mornings are clean but small – around 3ft. Good for a cruise, not a charge.
Friday the 31st morning pushes to 4ft, but the wind is cross-on and the period drops to 14 seconds. Quality drops off. Afternoon is onshore junk.
Saturday the 1st of August is similar – 4ft swell but short period and cross-shore wind. Not worth it.
From Sunday the 2nd of August onward, we hit a flat spell. Swell drops to 1ft to 2ft, combined energy plummets under 200, and wind stays onshore or cross-on. Nothing good from the 2nd all the way through the 9th. That’s over a week of small, blown-out conditions.
Wrap it up: hit Saturday 25th morning or Tuesday 28th morning. After that, board stays in the car.
Rusty, out.

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.
