Redbill Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about Redbill Beach. This is going to be a slow start, but there’s a little window of decent surf coming up, so don’t write it off just yet.

We’re looking at a pretty drawn-out run of small, inconsistent waves here. The water is sitting at 57°, which is right about where it should be for this time of year—nothing unusual there, just your standard winter chill. The first few days are tiny, with 1ft swells and glassy conditions, but it’s just not doing much. The energy is weak (148), so you’re really just paddling around for nothing.

Things start to lift a little on Sunday, July 19th. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the south, with a period of 12 seconds, and the morning is glassy. That’s a clean, small wave day. The combined energy is still moderate (278), but it’s a step up.

Monday, July 20th is where it gets a little more interesting. The swell picks up to 4ft from the northeast, with an 11-second period, and the morning is dead calm. The energy jumps to 422, which is a solid moderate push. The offshore wind is kind to it, so it’ll be clean. This is a good morning for a longboard or a funboard, just cruising around.

Tuesday, July 21st morning holds similar 4ft northeast swell, glassy again, with energy at 345. Good conditions for a small wave session. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a light cross-onshore breeze, so aim for the early.

By Wednesday, July 22nd, the swell drops to 3ft, but the wind turns offshore in the afternoon, making it clean. The energy is back to moderate (203), but it’s not a standout.

The rest of the run is a mix of tiny, short-period swells and onshore winds. Thursday, July 24th brings a 3ft south swell with a very long 15-second period, but the energy is just moderate (333). The long period will make it a bit fat and straight at a beach break like this, so it’s not the best shape. The wind is offshore, so it’ll be clean, but the waves won’t have much punch.

A few days later, Monday, July 27th has a 2ft south swell with a 17-second period, and the energy jumps to 419. That’s a good, clean, moderate energy day, but again, the long period will make it a bit roly-poly and inconsistent. It’s worth a look if you’re patient.

The final days of July and into August turn poor. Onshore winds from the east and southeast, choppy conditions, and the energy is all over the place. The combined energy does hit 526 on July 31st, but with a 12 mph cross-onshore wind, it’s just a mess. The swell is 3ft, but it’s not surfable in any nice way.

The standout here is the Monday morning of July 20th. That 4ft northeast swell, with glassy conditions and moderate energy, is the best on offer. It’s not a big day, but it’s clean, fun, and the crowds are *sometimes* there, so you might have it to yourself if you’re early. The swell direction is from the northeast, which is a solid angle for this exposed beach.

For the rest of the run, it’s mostly small, inconsistent, and waiting for something better. The second week is particularly thin, with only a few clean windows and no real size. Keep an eye on the 27th, but don’t get your hopes up.
