Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
Water temp is about 57°F, which is normal for this time of year – nothing out of the ordinary.
We’re in for a slow patch at Redbill Beach. Tuesday 7 July morning has a tiny 2ft S swell, but it’s flat calm, so you could score some knee-high sliders if you’re keen. The energy is weak (153). After that, it’s a long stretch of nothing special – Wednesday 8 July morning is the best early call with a 3ft ESE swell, glassy winds, and moderate energy (317), but it’s not exactly firing. Thursday and Friday are even smaller, with Thursday 9 July morning dropping to 2ft again.
Honestly, the first week is a bust. There’s a gap of several days with no real standouts – just small, inconsistent waves and so-so conditions. The waves are barely cracking 3ft, and the period is short (8 seconds) or weirdly long (16 seconds) but with next to no height.
Second week starts slow but builds. Wednesday 15 July morning brings a 3ft S swell with offshore winds and light breezes, but it’s still just “surfable.” The energy is moderate (138). Thursday 16 July afternoon has a 4ft S swell but cross-shore winds, so not clean.
The first real standout is Friday 17 July. Morning and afternoon both have 4ft S swell, glassy conditions, and moderate energy (254-291). That’s the first time you’ll want to paddle out – clean, waist-high lines, and the offshore wind at Redbill Beach is a big plus. This is the best on offer in the first half.
Saturday 18 July afternoon picks up to 4ft from NNE, but it’s short period (6 seconds), so it’ll be a bit fat and crumbly – still, clean conditions (275 energy). Sunday 19 July morning sees a bigger 6ft NNE swell, again short period (6 seconds), energy jumps to 461. That’s punchy for the beach, but it might be too much for beginners at that size.
Now the big one. Monday 20 July morning is a monster – 13ft S swell with a 9-second period and energy at 2217. That’s way too big for this spot, experts only. The afternoon drops to 8ft S swell with offshore winds – excellent for experienced surfers but still solid. Tuesday 21 July has a 4ft S swell in the morning, clean with offshore winds, but the afternoon is the real gem: 2ft S swell with a 16-second period and energy at 525, with moderate offshore winds. That’s a gorgeous, clean groundswell – perfect for the point or reef, not the beach.
The final highlight is Wednesday 22 July. Morning and afternoon both serve up 8ft S swell with a 9-10 second period, energy at 1359 and 1277, and strong offshore winds. That’s excellent for experienced surfers, but beginners, stay out – it’s a big, powerful wave.
So, if you want the best, circle Friday 17 July for the clean, glassy waist-high waves, and Tuesday 21 July afternoon for the long-period, clean groundswell. The 20th and 22nd are for the heavy crew only.
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.
