Redondo is located just south of the Makaha jetty and offers a surf scene that's pretty reliable, especially for beginners. It’s a spot where you can often find softer waves rolling in, making it a popular choice for those looking to improve their skills. The place can get crowded, but it’s usually not too hard to find a wave. Since it's inside the jetty, it can be a bit more manageable when the conditions are right.
The waves at Redondo typically break left, but you can catch some rights too. It handles swell sizes starting around 2ft (about 0.6 meters), which is perfect for beginners. The optimal swell direction is from the southwest, but you can also catch decent waves with swells coming from the south or northwest. The waves break over boulders, so be mindful of your surroundings. For the best experience, keep an eye on the wind direction; northeast winds are preferable. You can surf here at low, mid, or high tides and still find something rideable.
Redondo is a solid spot for surfers looking to work on their basics without being overwhelmed by big waves. Since you’ll often see others around who are also learning, it’s a friendly atmosphere where you can enjoy the surf while picking up some tips from fellow riders.
