The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming up at Redbill Beach.
We're looking at a bit of a flat spell to kick things off, but there's some decent energy slowly building. The water temp is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 57°, which is a bit of a treat for the wetsuit crew.
The first real standout is shaping up for Wednesday afternoon, August 14th. It's not about the swell height, which is a tiny 2ft, but the quality. A clean, clear afternoon with a light offshore wind from the WSW, combined with a long-period 15-second groundswell pushing in from the south. The combined energy is moderate at 213, and with the glassy conditions, this will be one of those sneaky clean, fun little sessions if you've got a log or a fish.
However, the real main event, and the one to circle on your calendar, is Saturday morning, August 27th. The swell has built to a solid 4ft from the north, with a moderate combined energy of 417. The wind is forecast to be glassy from the WSW, which means absolutely perfect, clean conditions. This is offering the best combination of size and quality in the entire 16-day window. It won't be too big for most surfers, and with the glassy morning, you're looking at the pick of the period.
Keep an eye on Sunday afternoon, August 23rd too. The swell kicks up to 7ft from the NNE, but it's paired with rain showers and wind in the mid-15 mph range. The combined energy is strong at 678, but the onshore wind will likely chop it up, making it a bit of a messy one for experts only.
There's a fair few flat days scattered between the 14th and the 27th, so don't get too excited about every morning. The 27th is the one to set the alarm for.
Rusty out.

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.
