The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Redbill Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the 16-day window kicks off with a pretty flat and ordinary stretch. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until Thursday the 30th of July. The first few days are plagued by weak, short-period slop or junky conditions – Monday the 27th has a tiny 1.0ft SE swell with a long 16-second period, but at a beach break like this, that clean long-period stuff tends to grind straight and won’t offer much. The water temp is sitting at 57°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a game-changer, but it’s a bit of a gift for the wetsuit crew.

The Standout – Thursday 30th July

Thursday the 30th is the real highlight of this run. We’ve got a solid push of 6ft to 7ft swell out of the SSE turing S, with a moderate 9-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 543 on the morning and cranking up to 971 by the afternoon – that’s moderate-to-strong wave energy for sure. More importantly, the morning brings a light offshore breeze from the west, setting up clean, lined-up conditions. By the afternoon it turns cross-off with a WSW wind, but the quality holds. This is the day to circle on the calendar if you want some proper surf.

Friday the 31st stays rideable – morning drops back to 3ft SSE but winds are manageable, and the afternoon glass-off with a SE breeze and a glassy surface makes the 3ft SE swell look fun for a log or a fish. Saturday the 1st of August also has a glassy morning with 3ft SE at 12 seconds – clean, but small.

The rest of the run is a mixed bag. You get a few fun windows, like Wednesday the 5th of August with 4ft S and a light breeze, and the 5th afternoon even goes glassy with 4ft S – that’ll be a sneak good session. But nothing touches that Thursday the 30th.

By the second week, we’ve got a big pulse on Saturday the 8th of August – 10ft of S swell, glassy in the morning. That’s expert-only territory, over 8ft, and the period is a short 8 seconds, meaning it’ll be a messy, walled-up beast. Not for the faint-hearted. The wind then swings cross-onshore in the arvo, so even less appealing for a paddle.

Overall, for this exposed beach, the setup is more interesting for the kite crew on those bigger, windier days like Tuesday the 28th of July (6ft but short 6 second period and 16 mph NNW cross-off) and that big 10ft pulse. For the surfer, Thursday 30th July is your best bet – get it while it’s clean.

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.
