Redbill Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a mixed bag of waves on the horizon for Redbill Beach, but nothing that’s gonna have you skipping work for a while. The first solid recommendations don’t kick in until the 4th of September, so there’s a bit of a dry spell right out of the gate for the first few days.

The early part of the run is pretty flat with weak, short-period junk. It’s not until Thursday morning, the 4th of September, that we start seeing something worth a paddle. The water’s running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 58°, which is a nice bonus.

The standout session looks like it’s shaping up for Sunday morning, the 6th of September. Redbill Beach is gonna be the one to watch. We’ve got a clean 5 ft swell coming in from the S, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is dead glassy, which is exactly what you want to see. The wave energy is strong (429), so there’s some push behind it. This is the best of the bunch for the near term – clean, glassy, and with enough size to get a few good turns in. Later that afternoon, the wind swings around and makes it messy, so be on it early.

Now, if you’re an experienced surfer and you’re willing to look further out, keep an eye on Friday afternoon, the 11th of September. The swell jumps up to 8 ft from the ESE with a long 11-second period, the wind is light and clean, and the energy is pumping (2060). The file says it’s excellent for experienced surfers, and that’s a call I’ll back. Anything over 8 ft here is for the crew who know what they’re doing. The direction is a bit off the optimum for the break, but when the energy is that solid, you still get some good ones.

There’s also a promising window on Tuesday afternoon, the 15th of September. Another 8 ft swell from the SE, but this time it’s glassy. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s not the long groundswell, but the conditions are clean and the energy is solid (1299). This is another one for the experienced crew, but the glassy conditions make it a real contender.

For the rest of the run, things get a bit messy. The 9th and 10th of September bring some big, junky swell with strong, choppy winds that’ll make it a battle. The 12th and 13th are cleaner but the swell is a bit mixed up. The 16th brings a cleaner offshore wind but the swell is dropping off.

Overall, the best bet is that Sunday morning on the 6th. It’s the cleanest, most accessible window for most surfers. If you’re a ripper, pencil in the 11th or the 15th. Just check the wind before you go.

Rusty.
