Redbill Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with the look ahead. We’ve only got one spot on the cards for the next couple of weeks, so let’s break it down.

Right now, there’s a gap at the start – nothing worth paddling out for yet. The first real hope shows up on Wednesday the 8th of July, with a small window of clean surf. Redbill Beach is an exposed spot, handling an east swell, but it’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, so don’t get your hopes too high. The outlook is pretty thin overall, with long stretches of poor conditions in between.

Wednesday morning, July 8th is your best early call. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the SE with an 11-second period – decent enough energy (357), and the wind is glassy out of the SW. That’s going to give you clean, smooth waves. Water temp is sitting at 57°F, about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.

From there, things go flat and messy for days. Thursday and Friday offer tiny 1-2ft dribble with poor wind. Saturday the 11th bumps up to 4ft, but it’s a short-period 5-second northerly windswell (117) with cross winds – not worth the paddle. Sunday the 12th has some 3ft swell with offshore wind in the afternoon, clean enough but nothing exciting.

The whole first week is really just a write-off for quality surfing at Redbill. Then we hit a weird one Wednesday afternoon, July 15th – the models are calling for a massive 15ft S swell with strong energy (3113). Problem is, it’s way too big for this break, only for experts and the wind is strong. Same story on Thursday the 16th with 13ft and 12ft – massive, but these are survival waves, not fun ones.

Saturday, July 18th is the standout if you’re patient. We get a clean 3ft to 4ft ESE swell, 10-second period, moderate energy (532-536), and glassy conditions in the afternoon. That’s the one to aim for – smooth, clean, just a nice little day.

Sunday the 19th builds a bit: 7ft ESE swell with a 12-second period (1268 energy) and glassy morning wind. That’s solid for strong intermediate to expert surfers – good power, clean face. Still inconsistent here, so don’t expect a full session, but it’s the best quality of the whole run.

After that, Monday the 20th blows out with cross winds, Tuesday the 21st has a brief window of 7ft N swell with clean offshore wind in the afternoon (549 energy) – another decent pick if you can sneak in.

The rest of the run fades into tiny, poor quality leftovers. Honestly, if you want to surf, pencil in Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th. Redbill is a fickle wave, so grab it when it’s clean.

Rusty.
