The Lowdown
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.

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.
