The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s happening at Redbill Beach over the next couple weeks in feet and knots.
Right from the start, it’s flat and ordinary. The first surf worth mentioning is Saturday morning the 22nd of August, and it’s an inconsistent wave with poor conditions. Water temp’s 57°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year — not bad if you’re thin-skinned.
Saturday morning has a tiny 1.0ft SSE swell with a long 16-second period, but wave energy is weak (99). Wind’s cross-off at 19 mph, so it’s messy. Saturday afternoon jumps to 6ft from the south with moderate energy (490), period drops to 9 seconds, and conditions are still marginal. Not worth paddling out for.
Sunday the 23rd is where it gets interesting. Morning is glassy, dead calm wind from the north, with 3ft south swell at 9 seconds. Combined energy is a moderate 236. Clean, surfable — not a standout, but it’s your first real chance. Afternoon stays glassy with 3ft south swell.
Monday the 24th drops back to tiny, ordinary waves around 1ft–2ft with a 14-second period. Clean but weak. Tuesday the 25th morning goes glassy with 1ft south swell, but Tuesday afternoon gets cross-on and turns ugly.
Wednesday and Thursday mornings offer small clean waves around 2ft–3ft, but energy is low and period is short (8 seconds). Friday the 28th morning has a gentle offshore with 2ft NE swell — still small.
The best on offer is Sunday the 30th through Monday the 31st of August. Sunday afternoon has a clean 3ft south swell with a 15-second period, wave energy 462 (moderate), and light cross-off wind. Monday morning is offshore and clean, 3ft south swell at 14 seconds, energy 305. Both days look fun for a longboard. Crowds are possible at Redbill.
Wednesday the 2nd of September brings a bigger pulse: 6ft south swell, period 8 seconds (short and lumpy), energy 456, cross-off wind at 12 mph. That’s pushing into expert territory. The wind keeps it from being perfect.
After that, it fades fast. A small bump on Saturday the 5th of September shows 6ft from the north with a short 6-second period, but wind goes cross-on. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The last few days are small, choppy, and poor. Best bet: Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st of August for clean, fun waves. Wednesday the 2nd for size if you’re up for it, but don’t expect perfection.
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.
