The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at the next 16 days for Redbill Beach. It's a bit of a mixed bag, with a slow start, a couple of tidy windows, and a late run that’s got my hopes up.
Redbill Beach is an exposed beach break, and it's an inconsistent spot, so you gotta pick your moments. For the first few days, it’s small but clean. The water temp is sitting at 57.0°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no major surprises there.
The real action doesn't fire up until the end of the month. The best stretch looks like Thursday the 30th. That morning, we’ve got a clean 4.6ft swell from the south, with a 12-second period, and light offshore wind from the WSW. The energy is up there (602), and the combo of size, direction, and glassy conditions means it’s going to be proper. The afternoon pushes even more size at 4.9ft, with the same southerly direction, and the combined energy jumps to 707. That’s a solid, punchy groundswell. For a beach break, that long period (12s) will give you nice orderly lines, but watch for it to shut down a bit on the banks. It’s a standout for sure, but it’s getting into the range where it’s better for solid intermediates and up.
Before that, Wednesday the 29th also looks promising. The afternoon brings a 3.3ft south swell with a 14-second period, and that gentle offshore wind from the WSW will have it looking clean. The energy is a solid 383. It’s a bit smaller, but the quality is there.
The rest of the window is a bit of a snooze. We have a long gap of tiny, weak, or blown-out conditions from the 1st of August onwards. The swell on the 2nd of August jumps to 5.6ft and 6.2ft, but it’s coming from the NE with a short, weak 7-second period and onshore wind. That’s a choppy, messy mess – more for kite surfers than paddle-in waves.
So, to keep it simple: for the first week, the surf is small but clean. The real standout is Thursday the 30th, with that 4.6ft to 4.9ft south swell, good wind, and high energy. Wednesday the 29th is a solid backup. After that, the forecast drops off into a flat spell. Don't sleep on that last week of July.

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.
