The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it.
We're looking at Redondo Beach. The water is sitting at 72°, which is a full 7° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's seriously weird, but it means you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
First off, the surf kicks off Friday morning, July 24th. We've got a clean 2ft swell from the SSW, but the real story is the period. It's 24 seconds, which is a very long-period groundswell. That's a ton of energy (567) for such a small wave. It'll be lined up and juicy, but that long period means it might wall up a bit at a beach break like this. The wind is a light breeze from the SSE, so it's cross-offshore and clean. This is a standout window for the week.
The afternoon and the rest of that weekend is a bit of a letdown. The swell drops and the winds get messy. Saturday morning is cross-shore and small, and by Sunday morning the swell is back to 3ft with a clean cross-off breeze, but it's not the same quality as Friday.
Monday through Wednesday mornings are all about clean, light winds, but the swell is small and inconsistent. Tuesday morning, the 28th, has a nice 3ft from the SSW with a 17-second period. It's a nice, clean morning session, but nothing to write home about.
The next real standout is Friday, July 31st. The swell jumps to 4ft from the S, but the period drops to 14 seconds. The morning has a light cross-onshore breeze, so it's a bit bumpy, but it's surfable. The afternoon is a write-off with onshore winds.
The first week of August is pretty grim. The swell drops out and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. There's a small window on Sunday, August 2nd, where the morning sees a 3ft SSW swell with a clean cross-off breeze, but it's weak energy (242). After that, we're looking at a long stretch of poor conditions. From August 3rd through the 8th, it's all small, weak, and mostly onshore. The waves are below 2ft for most of that period, with only a few clean but tiny windows.
So, the clear standout is Friday morning, July 24th. That long-period groundswell will make for some surprisingly fun, clean lines on the small waves. The other solid call is Friday morning, July 31st, for a bit more size, though it won't be as clean.
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.
