Alright mates, Rusty here again, with the numbers in feet and miles.

We're looking at a slow start. The first few days are a total dud with tiny, weak swells and rubbish wind. It's not until Thursday morning, July 9th, that we see something with a pulse. That's a solid three-day stretch of no surf to kick things off. The one and only standout is that Thursday morning.

Torrance Beach/Burn Out – The only spot worth watching. Early on Thursday, July 9th, we've got some long-period groundswell coming from the SSW. The swell is a modest 2 to 3 feet, but it's carrying some real energy with a long 18-second period. The combined energy is moderate (372), and the absolute winner here is the wind. A light, clean offshore breeze from the SSE will have the waves glassy and peeling. It won't be big, but for a clean, small-wave session, that's your window. The water temperature is about normal for the season. Keep in mind, the crowd factor is often a thing here, so get in early for a wave.

After that Thursday morning window, it's a long, slow grind. We get a few more mornings with clean offshore winds (like the 10th, the 14th, and a promising-looking morning on July 17th), but the swell is tiny, barely 1 to 2 feet, with weak energy. The 17th of July morning has a similar 1 to 2 foot groundswell with a clean breeze, but it's over a week away and you're just hunting for ankle-snappers. The second week looks flat and messy overall. Not much to write home about.

Information about the Torrance Beach/Burn Out Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Torrance Beach/Burn Out provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Torrance Beach/Burn Out can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Torrance Beach/Burn Out 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 (Torrance Beach/Burn Out) 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 Torrance Beach/Burn Out 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.

Torrance Beach/Burn Out is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Redondo Beach. If you plan a vacation in Los Angeles County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Redondo Beach. Redondo Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
