The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about Redbill Beach.
It's a bit of a mixed bag for the next 16 days, and honestly, the first week is pretty slim pickings. We've got a run of small, generally poor surf from Wednesday the 12th through to around Tuesday the 18th. Most of that time is either too small, messy with onshore or cross-shore wind, or just producing waves that aren't worth paddling out for. There's no real consistency to get excited about in that first week.
Now, your best bet is going to be Saturday the 15th. Saturday morning is the one true standout. We've got 3ft of S swell coming in, and the wind is dead flat – completely glassy. That's a recipe for clean, fun little waves. It's still not a huge swell, but with the conditions like that, it'll be the most pleasant session in the window. You'll want to be on it early though, because the afternoon picks up a little cross-on breeze and it gets more ordinary.
We do have a tease of big swell later on. That Thursday the 27th has some serious energy showing on the charts – we’re talking 10 to 12ft of SSE swell with glassy wind. But here’s the kicker: that’s way too much size for this spot. It’s forecasted to be too big for Redbill Beach, so unless you’re a true expert looking at a washing machine, steer clear. That's over 8ft and into expert-only territory. The combined energy is off the charts, and it’s not going to be a fun paddle at a beach break.
Overall, for the next two weeks, it’s a waiting game. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it won't feel too bitter on that Saturday morning. Don't get your hopes up for the rest of it.
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.
