Redbill Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Redbill Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we're in for a bit of a slow start. Friday the 31st is a write-off, nothing doing. But hold on, because Saturday the 1st of August is where we get our first real taste. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 57°, nothing crazy but a nice little bonus.

The standout session is hands down Saturday morning. We've got a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the southeast with a solid 12-second period, and the wind is dead glass. That's the kind of morning you paddle out and forget about everything else. The combined energy is moderate (316), and it's setting up for some proper shape. That glassy wind is a major positive, you'll be surfing in silk. Saturday afternoon holds the same vibe, just a shade smaller at 3ft, but still glassy. It's going to be a good day.

Sunday the 2nd drops off a bit to 3ft in the morning and 2ft in the afternoon, but the wind stays clean, swinging cross-off from the north-northwest. You'll still get a few fun ones, especially if you're on a longer board.

Monday the 3rd is a bit ordinary. The swell is weak, around 3ft, and coming from the north-northeast with a short, snappy 6-second period. Combined energy is low (136). It's surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Now, Tuesday the 4th is where things get interesting. Early morning we see a 8ft south swell with a moderate 7-second period, and the wind is offshore from the west-southwest. The combined energy jumps to a strong 583. This is a serious setup, but that size is pushing into expert territory. If you're a beginner, sit this one out. The afternoon turns ugly, though, with a 10ft south swell and onshore wind from the south at 16 mph, creating a messy cross-chop. That's a kite-surfing wind, not a paddle-surfing one.

Wednesday the 5th keeps the size up with 7ft from the south in the morning, combined energy of 609. Cross-off wind keeps it clean, so it's another session for the experienced crew. The afternoon drops to 7ft but the conditions get a bit marginal.

Thursday the 6th sees the swell ease back to a friendlier 5ft from the southeast. Clean in the morning, a bit cross in the afternoon. A solid, fun day for intermediate surfers.

After that, the surf goes quiet for a stretch. From Friday the 7th right through to Sunday the 9th, it's small and messy. A few days where you're better off staying on the beach.

The next real standout is way out on Monday the 10th of August. The morning shows a massive 10ft swell from the north-northeast, with combined energy blowing up to 1347. That's a monster, and the wind is clean, cross-off from the northwest. The catch? The file says it's predicted to be too big for this break. This is for experts only, and even then, it's a big call. It's a promising one, but it's a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed.

Tuesday the 11th drops back down to 3ft, not much to get excited about, and the rest of the week into the 15th is a mix of small, clean conditions and a few pulses of 6ft to 7ft swell. The last day in the forecast, Saturday the 15th of August, has a great-looking afternoon session: 8ft from the north with a 7-second period, combined energy of 608, and clean cross-off wind. That's a solid finish to the run.

So, for the best of the best, lock in Saturday the 1st of August for the glassy, clean 4ft southeast swell. And keep an eye on that Monday the 10th of August for the big swell, but only if you're experienced and ready for a challenge.

Stay stoked, catch you in the water.

Rusty.
