Redbill Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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

Right off the bat, we’re looking at a pretty slow start. Monday the 3rd is weak and ordinary, so don’t get your hopes up. The real action doesn’t start to build until Wednesday the 5th afternoon, when the energy starts to pick up a little.

We’ve got a classic run of small, clean conditions from the 4th through the 6th. That Thursday the 6th is a real standout for the early part of the forecast. Thursday morning sees an offshore wind with 3ft swell from the east, and by Thursday afternoon the wind goes glassy, with 3ft from the east. The water is sitting at 14°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a nice little bonus. The combined energy is moderate (260) and the surf will be clean and inviting. Redbill Beach is exposed to the east, so that direction is working well for us.

Now, Friday the 7th morning is also worth a look. We’ve got 5ft from the south with clean cross-offshore winds, giving you a solid wave (288 combined energy). But Friday afternoon is a bit of a write-off with onshore wind.

The weekend of the 9th and 10th is a bit of a mixed bag. Sunday the 9th sees a big jump in size, but it comes with strong cross-shore wind and an 8ft to 10ft northerly swell. The energy is huge (607 to 1807), but that’s way too big for Redbill Beach, and it’s going to be a messy, powerful beast. This is more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle-in session. Monday the 10th is clean with offshore wind, but the swell drops to nothing.

The second week brings some real promise. The standout for the entire 16-day window is Thursday the 13th morning. Offshore wind from the west, 8ft from the north-northeast, and a combined energy of 803. That’s a powerful, clean swell. This is for experienced surfers only, as it’s over 8ft, but the conditions are excellent. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a more manageable size for a beach break.

After that, we have a fantastic run from the 14th to the 18th. Friday the 14th afternoon is another highlight: 8ft from the north, offshore wind, and a combined energy of 1698. That’s a lot of power, and the surf will be excellent for those who know what they’re doing. Saturday the 15th afternoon also has great energy (1083) with a 7ft east swell. The wind is clean cross-off.

So, to sum up the best on offer: Thursday the 6th for a clean, smaller, fun session with the glassy conditions, and Thursday the 13th morning for a bigger, more powerful, clean swell that will get the blood pumping. The long-range forecast from the 14th onwards looks very promising, but as always, we’ll keep an eye on it.

Over and out.

Rusty.
