The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk surf for Redbill Beach.
The first decent window kicks off on the afternoon of Monday the 14th with a 5.2ft swell out of the north, a weak 6-second period, and the combined energy is moderate. The wind is offshore and clean. Water temp is 56.8°, a touch warmer than usual.
Tuesday the 15th is tiny and ordinary—2ft in the morning with weak energy. Wednesday the 16th morning sees a solid 7.9ft southerly swell with strong energy, though the period is short. That afternoon cleans up with a 6.2ft swell and light winds, making it a standout. Thursday the 17th is a solid backup at 4.3ft and clean.
The second week shows some promise. From the 23rd, Wednesday morning sees a 7.2ft NNE swell with very strong energy and clean conditions. Thursday the 24th pumps out 8.2ft NNE to NE swells with extreme energy—expert-only territory. Friday the 25th has clean 5.6ft and 5.2ft NNE swells all day.
The best bet: Wednesday the 16th afternoon and Monday the 21st afternoon with glassy conditions. Keep in mind, Redbill Beach is inconsistent and an advanced wave. Crowds are sometimes a factor.

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.
