The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s in store for Redbill Beach.
Water temp is about 57°, right around normal for this time of year. The first few days are a total bust. Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th have waves barely 1ft to 1ft, with combined energy readings as low as 45. Winds are offshore or cross-off, so it’s clean, but there’s no push. Thursday the 16th morning has a 2ft south swell with glassy conditions and energy at 194 – okay for a longboard, but that’s it.
Friday the 17th afternoon sees a 2ft swell with an 18-second period, glassy wind, and 210 energy. Clean and lined up, but tiny. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th stay glassy and small, with the best energy hitting 299 on Sunday afternoon with a 2ft east-southeast swell.
From Monday the 20th through Wednesday the 22nd, swell runs around 3ft to 3ft from the northeast. Winds stay light and favorable. Energy is in the 250–345 range. Surfable and clean. Thursday the 23rd is a write-off with cross-shore winds.
Now, Friday the 24th of July morning brings a 4ft east-northeast swell with a 12-second period and energy at 507. Winds are cross-off from the northwest at 15 mph, so it’s clean. This is the first real pulse. Saturday the 25th morning is your best bet: 3ft from the east-northeast, 13-second period, energy at 505, and clean offshore winds. The swell direction lines up perfectly with the optimum east swell.
Sunday the 26th holds similar size and clean morning winds. But the real highlight is Monday the 27th of July morning: 6ft from the south, 10-second period, and energy at 576. Glassy conditions from the west-northwest. That’s a solid, powerful swell – too big for beginners, but a dream for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets a light cross-onshore, so hit the morning.
Tuesday the 28th is still good at 5ft and glassy. Then it fades back down to 1ft by Wednesday the 29th. So, the long flat start gives way to a fun small week, capped by a proper swell on the 27th. That’s your day.

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.
