Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Redbill Beach is our only spot showing any life over this 16-day window, but it’s going to be a mixed bag. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 58°, which is a nice little bonus.
We kick off on Friday morning, July 3rd, with a solid 7ft swell from the north. The period is around 9 seconds, and with a light offshore wind, the conditions are clean. This one is for the experienced crew, though, as it’s not a beginner wave. The combined swell energy is strong at 1169. Friday afternoon drops off quickly to a smaller 4ft, still clean.
Saturday morning on July 4th is a write-off with tiny, weak surf. The afternoon brings a bigger spike back up to 7ft from the south, but the cross-offshore wind makes it a bit messy. By Sunday morning, July 5th, we’re back in business with another 7ft south swell and clean conditions—good for the experienced surfer again, with a strong energy reading of 1104. Sunday afternoon stays fun with 6ft.
Monday the 6th starts with glassy conditions and a 5ft SSE swell. It’s clean, but nothing to write home about. Tuesday and Wednesday have some smaller, weaker days, then Wednesday afternoon, July 8th, sees a big 10ft south swell with an 11-second period. However, it’s flagged as too big for this break, so unless you’re an expert with a big-wave setup, you might want to sit this one out.
There’s a long quiet stretch from Thursday the 9th through Sunday the 12th, with mostly small, weak surf and only the occasional glassy moment. Monday the 13th is dead flat.
Now, here’s the big news. Starting Tuesday, July 14th, things get seriously oversized. We’re looking at a 10ft south swell Tuesday morning, blowing up to 15ft by the afternoon, with energy readings skyrocketing into the thousands. The wind is cross-offshore, but the size (combined energy 4077) is pushing into extreme territory. Wednesday the 15th brings 18ft to 20ft SSE swells, with energy at 6449 and 8031. Thursday the 16th is the peak with 21ft SE swells and periods up to 13 seconds—energy readings are through the roof at 14833. This is strictly for big-wave chargers, and honestly, the sheer size and power might make it more of a spectacle than a paddle session. This setup, with those strong cross-shore winds, looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Finally, on Saturday, July 18th, things start to settle. The morning sees an 8ft SE swell with glassy conditions—now that’s the standout. For the experienced surfer, this is the best on offer: a solid, clean, powerful swell without the terrifying size of the days before. The afternoon stays the same size, but with a light onshore wind kicking in.
So, if you’re an experienced surfer, aim for that Saturday morning the 18th. The run from the 14th to the 17th is too big for most. The first week has its moments, but nothing truly exceptional.
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.
