The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for Redbill Beach over the next couple weeks.
The water temp is close to normal for this time of year. We start slow. Friday the 21st has a weak 3ft NNE swell, just ordinary with moderate energy (115). Saturday the 22nd is a total loss with 1ft junk. The gap drags through Sunday morning on the 23rd – still average – but Sunday afternoon turns on: glassy calm, 3ft south swell with moderate energy (201). That’s the first real clean window, small but fun.
Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are just okay – 1ft to 3ft, a bit bumpy. Wednesday the 26th afternoon brings a big 8ft south swell with strong energy (801), but the wind is off and it’s messy – experts only and marginal. Thursday the 27th is glassy in the morning but only 2ft.
Then a long quiet stretch until the big one hits Sunday the 30th afternoon through Monday the 1st of September. A solid NE pulse arrives. The best session is Tuesday the 1st of September: glassy both morning and afternoon, with 6ft to 6ft ENE swell at 10 seconds, very strong energy (669 to 715). Clean, head-high plus, perfect direction. That’s your winner.
After that, it fades through September 2nd to 4th – 5ft down to 2ft, still clean but not as juicy. Saturday the 5th of September is glassy again but only 4ft and weak (146).
The standout: Tuesday, September 1st. Redbill Beach in the morning. 6ft ENE swell, glassy, strong energy (715). That’s the one.
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.
