Redbill Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Redbill Beach over the next couple of weeks.

First off, I’ll be straight with you – it’s a pretty lean run. We’ve got a long stretch of small, pretty ordinary surf before anything really gets going. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real standout I can see is a long way out, on the morning of Wednesday, July 22nd. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at a solid 8ft swell from the south, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a decent amount of energy pushing through – the combined energy reading is a hefty 1164 (moderate-to-strong). The wind is glassy, which is a major positive, meaning it’ll be clean as a whistle. This is strictly for the experienced crew, though. At that size, it’s well into big-wave territory, so beginners should give it a miss. The swell direction is from the south, which is fine for this exposed beach.

The afternoon of that same day, Wednesday the 22nd, is also a cracker – 8ft from the south, glassy wind, and the energy jumps up even higher to 1555 (strong wave energy). Conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s your best two sessions of the whole outlook, right there.

Before that, things are pretty quiet. There’s a small bump on the morning of Monday, July 20th that’s worth a mention. It’s a 6ft swell from the north, with a gentle offshore wind from the west-northwest. The energy is 469 (moderate), and it’s described as “good surf conditions.” That’s a solid option for the more advanced surfers, and it’s a lot more accessible than the big stuff on the 22nd. The afternoon of the 20th is also decent with a 5ft north swell and clean offshore wind.

Other than that, the rest of the days are filled with small, weak waves – mostly under 3ft, with short or long-period leftovers that just don’t have the push. There’s a long gap from now until the 20th where the recommendations are pretty poor.

So, to sum it up: the surf is looking pretty average for a long stretch, but the 20th offers a decent, clean north swell, and the 22nd is the absolute standout for the big-wave hunters. Keep an eye on the long-range forecast, but for now, I’d be planning around that Wednesday the 22nd.

Rusty.
