Redbill Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Gonna be straight with you – the outlook for Redbill Beach is a mixed bag, but we've got a couple of gems if you're willing to wait.

The first few days are a bit of a dud. We're looking at a solid pulse of energy in the middle of the month though.

Thursday, September 3rd is a bust. That morning rain shower with a 4ft north swell (6-second period) is ruined by a 12 mph westerly breeze. The wave energy is weak (193). Don't bother.

Friday, September 4th is tiny. The swell drops to 2ft. The wind is light and cross-offshore, but there's nothing to surf.

Saturday, September 5th morning is a mess with a cross-shore wind. The afternoon improves a bit with a 5ft north swell and a cross-offshore breeze, with moderate energy (421), but it's a short-period swell lacking shape.

Sunday, September 6th morning is clean with a 4ft south swell, but the energy is weak (172). It's surfable, but nothing special.

Monday, September 7th and Tuesday, September 8th are flat or tiny. Tuesday morning you get a glassy 3ft SSE swell, but it's weak (110 energy).

Now listen up. Wednesday, September 9th afternoon sees a jump – 6ft from the south at 10 seconds. The wind is a strong cross-offshore at 15 mph, and the wave energy is already strong (1449). It's a bit wild, but the building energy is a warning.

Thursday, September 10th is the pick of the entire forecast. This is the standout. A solid 6ft south swell with a long 11-second period is pumping. The westerly wind is light and offshore, keeping conditions clean. The wave energy is very strong (1342). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The swell is over 5ft, so it's a step up for intermediates. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 58°F.

Friday, September 11th morning is worth a look too. The swell drops to 5ft, but the wind is dead calm – glassy. The 11-second period from the SSE keeps the energy solid (516). This is a great, clean morning session. The afternoon turns ugly with a cross-onshore wind.

After that, the energy fades fast. Saturday, September 12th through to Tuesday, September 15th is a gap of poor to marginal conditions. The wind is mostly strong or cross-shore, and the swell is messy.

We get a small reprieve on Wednesday, September 16th with a clean 1ft SSE swell, but the energy is minimal (178). The following Thursday, September 17th morning is the only other glimmer: a 3ft south swell with an 11-second period and light offshore winds. The energy is moderate (279), and it's a clean, smaller day for the longboard.

To wrap it up: The only real standouts are Thursday, September 10th and Friday, September 11th morning. If you can only get wet once, make it the 10th. The rest of the 16 days is mostly a waiting game.

Rusty.
