The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here again. Let's break down the next couple of weeks at Redbill Beach in feet and miles. It's a mixed bag, so keep your eyes peeled.
We've got a flat start, so no real surf until Saturday afternoon. A couple of days of small, messy stuff that won't get your heart racing.
The water is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, sitting at about 57°, which is a nice little bonus for the first paddle out.
The first real standout is Thursday, the 10th of September. We've got a strong south swell coming in, with the morning pushing 6ft and an 11-second period. That's a proper groundswell. The energy is through the roof, reading 1406. The wind is offshore from the WSW, so it'll be clean and lined up. This is for the experienced crew only, as it's a solid size. The afternoon holds at 6ft with a 10-second period, still clean. Redbill is inconsistent, so don't expect it to fire all day, but when it's on, it's a cracker.
After that Thursday peak, we get a few more days of decent, smaller waves. The Friday morning on the 11th is still good with 5ft and clean conditions. Then we hit a bit of a lull.
Looking into the second week, the 16th of September has another promising window. The Wednesday morning shows 5ft from the NNE with a clean cross-offshore wind. But the real highlight is Wednesday afternoon, with glassy conditions and 4ft from the NNE. The wind is dead calm, so it'll be like a mirror. A real treat for a mid-week session.
Then, on the 19th of September, Saturday morning looks like a gem. It's only 4ft from the NE, but it's glassy. Perfect for a longboard or a funboard. The energy is moderate (243), so it won't be a powerhouse, but it'll be clean and friendly.
So, to sum it up: be patient for the first few days, get ready for the 10th if you're a solid surfer, and keep an eye on the 16th and 19th for some glassy, clean conditions. The buzz is there, just have to pick your moments.
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.
