Redondo Beach
United States · Californie
Redondo Beach, located on the southern coast of Los Angeles in California, is a popular spot for its small to medium waves. It is a lively place with good access to the Pacific Ocean, although kitesurfing is often regulated here. Locals ride when conditions are favorable, despite the proximity of restricted areas.
Close to Torrance and accessible from the Pacific Coast Highway, this beach attracts riders for its typical coastal vibe of Southern California. However, be aware that kitesurfing is officially prohibited from L.A. to Redondo, which pushes many towards neighboring spots like Rat Beach.
The spot is suitable for all levels when it is open, with a medium-sized launch area and lifeguards present.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The ideal wind comes from the Southwest (SW), blowing side-on relative to the north-south oriented beach, creating clean conditions for sailing. The sailing area extends over the ocean with small to medium waves, perfect for progressing in wave riding. Launching and taking off occur on a medium-sized beach, but care must be taken to avoid other beach users, especially in summer.
No dependence on tides, the water remains constant with a gradual bottom. Sessions generally take place offshore to avoid swimmers and surfers, while remaining vigilant about local rules that may require a permit or limit access. In windy periods, the spot offers good gusts for jumping and riding moderate waves.
Local feature: proximity to restricted areas, so always check signs and respect the lifeguards present on site.
