Redondo Beach
Edit SpotAbout
If Manhattan is real disorganized come here it is usually nice and glassy and hollow, when everywhere else is choppy crusher waves. Other than that, never go to Redondo, if Manhattan and Hermosa aren't choppy, there is no reason to go to Redondo. Both are better breaks, Redondo, next to Torrance is the worst break in the South Bay. Either go south over to the PV breaks, or go north to Hermosa and Manhattan if their good, both directions offer better waves.
Atmosphere:
Redondo is a very kiddie spot. That's the way I think of it. The beach is not that great, it's the same as Torrance, except a better break. It's usually bigger.
Additional Info:
If your good at surfing, this place is great. There are loads of little kids who can't surfing at all, they try to catch waves but most don't even drop in. Those who do eat it immediately. You can show off and they'll think ur great!
