The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about the local surf for the next couple weeks.
We're in a bit of a flat spell to start, with a long stretch of mediocre conditions. The best action is a long way off, right at the tail end of the forecast around the 13th of September.
Starting off Saturday the 29th of August, Redondo has a 6ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period. That's good energy, but the wind is light cross-on from the south at 6 mph, which will mess up the face a bit. The combined swell energy is strong at 1324. The water is a weirdly warm 68°, which is much warmer than normal. It's surfable, but it's not clean. The afternoon gets a little choppier. Sunday the 30th sees the swell drop to 5ft, and the wind stays cross, so it's more of the same. By Monday the 31st, it's pretty poor. Honestly, for the next week and a half, don't get your hopes up. The swell stays SW, mostly between 2ft and 5ft, and the wind is always a little onshore or cross-shore. The combined energy numbers are mostly in the moderate range, in the 400s to 800s, so it's just not got that punch.
Now, here's the window. Look at Sunday the 13th of September. The morning brings a 6ft SW groundswell, but the afternoon is the real deal. We're looking at 6ft from the SSW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 1206. The wind is light cross-on, so it'll be a little lumpy, but there's some serious power. This is the best-looking swell in the whole 16-day forecast. At 6ft, this is not beginner territory – this is for the experienced surfers only.
So, my advice: sit tight. The best move is the afternoon of Sunday the 13th of September at Redondo. It's not perfect, but it's the only real swell to get excited about.
Rusty.

Information about the Redondo Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Redondo provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Redondo can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Redondo 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) 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 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.
Redondo is 3 km (2 miles) from the city of Lima. If you plan a holiday in Lima, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lima. Lima has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
