The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, switching to feet and miles. Let's break it down.
We're looking at a pretty quiet start to the outlook at Redbill Beach. The first few days are small and ordinary, but there are some real gems later on if you can wait. The whole period starts on Wednesday, 15 July, with nothing worth getting excited about.
The first week is a slow burn. Wednesday the 15th through to Saturday the 18th are all about tiny, clean waves, but they're really small. The best of that early stretch is Thursday morning, 16 July, with a glassy 2ft S swell and a period of 16 seconds. The energy is moderate (204), and the glassy conditions are a major plus. It's not a standout, but it's the most pleasant of the early days. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing strange there.
Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th start to pick up. Sunday has a glassy 3ft S swell, and Monday sees a 3ft NE swell with calm, glassy conditions. The energy is ramping up to moderate (329 on Monday). It's still not big, but it's clean and consistent.
The real standout arrives on Monday, 27 July. The morning delivers a 6ft S swell with a period of 8 seconds, and the afternoon jumps to 6ft S with a clean offshore wind. The wave energy is strong (456 in the morning, 691 in the afternoon). This is the biggest swell of the period. At 6ft, it's pushing into expert territory, but the offshore wind from the WSW will keep it clean. The period is short, so it's more of a wind swell, but for size and power, this is the pick of the entire forecast. The afternoon of the 27th is the best session on offer.
After that, Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th still have decent 4ft swell, but the wind turns cross-on or glassy, keeping it clean but not as punchy as the 27th.
There is a gap of no real recommendations from the 22nd to the 26th, with only marginal or poor conditions. Then it fires up on the 27th.
So, if you've got a board and a bit of skill, hold out for Monday, 27 July. The afternoon session at Redbill Beach looks like the one to get wet for. Clean, solid, and some real grunt.
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.
