The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's break down what Redbill Beach is looking like for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the start is a total dud. Don't even think about paddling out until at least Thursday. There’s a big gap from now until September 10th with nothing worth chasing. Monday the 7th through Wednesday is all weak, junky swells and weird winds. Tuesday morning goes glassy with a tiny 3ft SSE swell, but it's got no push and the vibe is just ordinary.
The real deal fires up on Thursday, September 10th. That morning we’ve got a solid 6ft south swell rolling in with a clean 10-second period and a light offshore breeze from the WSW. The combined energy is cranking at 980 (moderate to strong), and conditions are looking prime. That’s your standout session. Friday morning keeps the quality high with a 5ft south swell (11-second period) and light cross-offshore winds, energy at 588. Thursday afternoon and Friday afternoon also look clean, though the swell starts to fade.
After that weekend, it gets a bit average again. Saturday the 12th drops to 3ft with cross-onshore winds, so it’s marginal. Sunday is small and messy, and Monday the 14th has a lumpy 7ft north windswell but it's short period and choppy. Not your best bet.
Into the second week, it’s hit and miss. Tuesday the 15th afternoon brings back a clean 5ft south swell (10 seconds, 377 energy) with a moderate offshore, so that’s a solid option. Wednesday the 16th morning is similar. Friday the 18th afternoon looks interesting with an 8ft south swell, but the period is short at 8 seconds and it’s marginal with strong cross-offshore winds. Might be a bit of a handful.
Bottom line: Thursday the 10th through Friday the 11th are your days. Water temp is about average for the time of year. Crowds are *sometimes* a thing here at Redbill Beach, so expect some company on the best swells.
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.
