G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Redbill Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first real surf worth paddling out for hits on Sunday morning, 5 July, with a solid 8ft SSE swell. The water’s sitting at 58°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The combined swell energy (1216) is hefty, so this is a proper groundswell with moderate period, but it’s a smooth 9 seconds. Wind’s cross-off from the SW at 9 mph, keeping things pretty clean. This is a standout for the early week—great for advanced surfers, no question. Sunday afternoon drops a bit to 7ft SSE with a 10-second period, energy down to 791, but still clean with light SSW wind at 6 mph. Monday morning, 6 July, sees the swell back off to 5ft SSE, but the wind goes glassy from the west at just 3 mph—that’s a magic window for a morning session, with moderate energy (373) and clean faces.
After that, things really drop off. Tuesday through Friday is slim pickings—small, weak swells, mostly under 3ft with short periods, and combined energy figures barely cracking three digits. There’s a few glassy mornings, but the waves are very ordinary. From Tuesday 7 July right through to Saturday 11 July, it’s flat to tiny. A six-day lull sets in, with nothing really recommendation-worthy.
We get a pulse again on Monday 13 July—morning sees 6ft NNE swell, period only 8 seconds, energy at 364, but with a solid offshore WNW wind at 12 mph. It’s clean and punchy, but still just moderate. That fades quickly. By Tuesday it’s back to junk.
Now, Wednesday 15 July is a big one—but it’s a watch-out. A massive 10ft S swell hits, with energy readings over 960 and peaking at 1116 in the afternoon. Period’s only 8 seconds, wind is cross-off at 16–19 mph, which keeps it clean, but that size is too big for Redbill Beach. This one’s for experts only, and even then, the wave setup likely appeals more to kite surfers than paddle surfers.
Thursday 16 July afternoon shapes up nicely as a second standout: 6ft SSE swell, 9-second period, energy 620, and clean offshore from the west at 9 mph. That’s good, solid surf for experienced surfers. Friday 17 July is modest and messy.
Then, the real gem: Saturday morning, 18 July. A 6ft E swell rolls in with a lovely long period of 13 seconds—proper groundswell energy (1234). The wind is offshore from the west at 9 mph, clean and well-shaped. This is the best on offer across the whole run. Expect excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The period means longer gaps between sets, easier paddling, and these won’t be as sectiony as a short-period swell, but at a beach break like this, that long period might make them a bit straight—still, it’s your pick of the fortnight.
After that, the swell backs off into the next week with small, poor surf from 19 July onward.
Overall, the first week is a slow burner, then a few clean pulses, with the standout being Saturday 18 July morning.
Rusty.

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.
Redbill Beach is 106 km (66 miles) from Launceston. If you plan a holiday in East Coast of Tasmania, look for hotels and other accommodation in Launceston. Launceston has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
