Redbill Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Redbill Beach.

Water temp comes in at 57°F – that’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a bit more comfortable.

First rideable session is Tuesday morning the 8th. Tiny 3ft SSE swell, 8-second period, but it’s dead flat calm and glassy. There’s next-to-no energy (113) – you’re hunting for ankle-biters. Barely worth changing out of your street clothes.

Wednesday the 9th is a write-off – strong SW winds blow the place apart.

Thursday the 10th is the big standout. Morning shows 6ft S swell, 10-second period, light offshore W breeze. Combined energy is moderate to strong (886) – clean lines, decent push. Afternoon stays clean with 5ft and cross-off wind. This is your best chance for proper waves in the whole window.

Friday the 11th morning still holds 4ft and light offshore – clean but smaller. Afternoon is only 2ft but glassy with a 18-second groundswell. That’ll produce some beautifully shaped waves on the better banks, but you’re waiting a long time between sets. Energy moderate (437).

Saturday the 12th goes downhill – onshore and choppy. Sunday the 13th is cleaner but weak.

Monday 14th afternoon flips: 6ft of short-period N swell (6 seconds) with a clean offshore WNW breeze at 15 mph. Not the prettiest but clean enough to get a few. Energy moderate (392).

From Tuesday 15th onward it’s pretty inconsistent. A few marginal windows, like Tuesday 22nd afternoon: 6ft NNE swell, 7-second period, glassy – combined energy moderate (337). That’s the best late-period option, but it’s inconsistent and that short period will make it hard work on a beach break.

Crowds pop up ‘sometimes’ at Redbill – Thursday and Friday might have a few regulars out, but with those clean conditions you’d be happy to share.

First week’s the king – Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th. Second week’s much leaner, with only a couple of marginal calls.

Rusty.
