The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's coming up at Redbill Beach. The water is sitting a touch warmer than usual for the season, around 57°F, so it’s not freezing yet.
The start of the forecast is quiet. Tuesday the 25th has tiny 2ft surf with glassy conditions, but it's pretty ordinary. Things start to pick up on Thursday the 27th of August. The standout for the whole run is Thursday afternoon: clean 5ft swell from the ESE, combined energy of 522, and the wind is dead glassy out of the NNE. That’s the kind of session you don't want to miss. The morning before is clean too, with 5ft swell.
Friday the 28th afternoon brings a bigger 6ft S swell with 504 energy, but the wind is cross-offshore, so it stays clean but steeper. Then on Sunday the 30th, we get a long-period S groundswell at 4ft with an 18-second period and 993 energy, paired with light offshore wind. It'll be clean, but that long period can make it a bit straight at this beach, so be ready to hunt the peaks.
The real size event lands on Thursday the 3rd of September. That morning is seeing 7ft SSE swell with a 17-second period and massive 2588 energy, with glassy conditions. That’s expert territory only. The afternoon drops slightly to 7ft, still with an excellent offshore wind. After that, it gets more inconsistent and smaller, with less favorable wind.
If you've got one day to chase, go for the afternoon of the 27th of August for the cleanest, most user-friendly waves, or the 3rd of September if you want the big, powerful stuff and can handle it.
Rusty out.

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.
