The Lowdown
Alright, so the opens are slow. We’ve got a few days of tiny, weak swell that won’t get you out of bed. Actually, it’s a bit of a gap until Wednesday, September 10th, when we finally see some size. That morning, a 3.0m S swell rolls in with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is strong, hitting 1799, so there’s plenty of power. Winds are offshore from the W at 15 km/h, which will keep it clean. But this is a big one – 3.0m is expert territory, so only go out if you’ve got the skills. The break is exposed to the east, so this S swell is wrapping in nicely. The water temperature is 14°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s not a total shock to the system.
That afternoon, Thursday the 10th, the swell drops to 2.1m from the S, period 9 seconds, and the energy is still strong at 1200. Winds turn light offshore from the WSW at 10 km/h, making for excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The crowd profile here says “sometimes,” so you might have a few others out, but it’s worth it.
After that, Friday the 11th morning is glassy with a 1.5m SSE swell, period 10 seconds, and energy at 485. That’s clean and solid, good for a range of surfers, but just a step down from the Thursday peak. The rest of the window fades back to small, weak surf, with poor conditions kicking in from Sunday the 13th onward. There’s a bit of a dry spell from there, with only tiny waves and bumpy wind, so don’t bank on anything after the 11th.
If you’re after the best, get out on Wednesday, September 10th, or Thursday the 10th for the bigger S swell. The 3.0m morning is the standout for experts, with offshore light wind and clean lines. Just be aware that the swell is a bit short-period, so it’ll be a bit more walled up at a beach break like this. Still, it’s the best on offer by a long shot.

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