Redbill Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Redbill Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are pretty ordinary. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are small and messy, with weak, short-period swell and poor wind directions. Nothing to get excited about there.

The real action kicks off on Monday the 10th of August. The morning session brings a big jump in swell – we’re looking at a solid 10ft NE swell, but it’s packing a massive punch with a combined energy of 1575. That’s a lot of power. Problem is, it’s way too big for this spot. Combined with a cross-shore wind, it’s not a paddle-friendly setup. Honestly, this looks more interesting for the kite crew than us surfers. The afternoon drops a bit to 8ft, but the wind is still messy.

Now, Tuesday the 11th of August is where it gets tasty. The morning is clear with a glassy offshore wind from the west at 9 mph. The swell drops to a much more manageable 5ft, still from the NE, with a 10-second period. The energy is strong at 972 (moderate). This is a proper standout – clean, offshore, and punchy. The afternoon holds up nicely too, with a clean 5ft swell and cross-offshore wind. This is the best of the bunch.

Wednesday the 12th is still fun. The morning has a 7ft NE swell, but the period drops to 6 seconds, so it’s a bit lumpy. The wind is cross-off and the waves are clean, but it’s a touch on the big side for beginners. The afternoon cleans up nicely with offshore winds and 4ft swell.

After that, the swell fades. Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th see the size drop right off, with small, long-period south swells and clean conditions, but not much power. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.

The following weekend, Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th of August, offers a little pulse of south swell. Saturday morning has 4ft from the south with a 10-second period and clean conditions – a solid option for a relaxed session. Sunday the 16th is even better in the morning: glassy, calm, with a clean 3ft south swell. It’s small, but the conditions are perfect.

The second week is quiet. Monday the 17th through Wednesday the 19th offer tiny, glassy waves, but not enough to warrant a paddle. The swell picks up slightly on Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st, but with short-period, onshore wind-affected junk. Not worth it.

The best bet for the second week is actually a late call. Saturday the 22nd of August morning looks promising: glassy conditions, a 5ft NNE swell with a 7-second period, and a combined energy of 268 (moderate). It’s a bit of a long shot, but the glassy morning could deliver some fun, clean waves if the wind behaves.

So, the standout is definitely Tuesday the 11th of August. That’s the one you want to circle. Saturday the 22nd is a distant second, but promising if you’re patient.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
