Redbill Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s coming for Redbill Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Things start off pretty slow, with barely a bump in the water for the first few days. The water temp is sitting at 58°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a little less rubber.

The first few days are a real snooze. Wednesday the 2nd gives us a tiny 1-foot SSE swell with a super long 16-second period, but the energy is weak. It’s surfable, but you’d be bored. Thursday is more of the same - small and inconsistent. Friday the 4th morning sees a slight bump to 2 feet from the south, with a long 16-second period and moderate energy. The winds are light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the size is still tiny. Nothing to write home about.

Now, Saturday the 5th looks a bit more promising in size. We’ve got a 6-foot NNE swell coming in the morning, but the period is a short 6 seconds, meaning it’ll be a bit bumpy and messy. The energy is moderate. The afternoon cleans up with a 5-foot north swell, still short period, but with offshore wind. It’s surfable, but not the best quality.

Sunday the 6th morning is decent: 4-foot south swell with an 8-second period, clean with light cross-off breezes, and moderate energy. The afternoon turns poor with cross-onshore wind, so get it early.

The best stretch of the forecast starts to build around Thursday the 10th. The morning brings a solid 8-foot south swell with an 11-second period and *very* strong wave energy. Winds are offshore from the west, cleaning it right up. This is going to be a powerful, well-shaped groundswell, but at 8 feet, this is for experienced surfers only. The afternoon holds the same size, still clean. Friday the 11th morning is also a gem: 5-foot SSE swell, 10-second period, glassy conditions, and strong energy. That’s a beautiful morning for a paddle.

The big standout across the whole outlook is Thursday the 10th. The 8-foot south swell, with that 11-second period and offshore wind, is the most powerful and cleanest swell of the entire window. The energy is massive. This is the one to circle. It’s for experts only, but if you’ve got the skill, it’s going to be incredible.

After that, the waves drop back a bit. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th both offer fun, manageable 4-foot to 5-foot NNE swells with clean, glassy conditions in the mornings. Good for a wide range of surfers, with moderate energy. The following week gets smaller again, with a few 1-foot to 3-foot swells, but nothing that matches the punch of the 10th.

So, the call is clear: Thursday the 10th is the day to clear your schedule. The rest of the period is a mix of small, clean fun and a few average days, but that window on the 10th is the real deal.

Rusty.
