The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Redbill Beach over the next sixteen days. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of windows that'll get the heart pumping.

We start off with a bit of a wait. The first decent session doesn’t roll in until the end of the month. On Friday the 31st of July, we’ve got a clean morning with a 4ft SSE swell, period of 8 seconds pushing in from the east. The wind is light and offshore, so it’s clean. The water’s sitting at 58°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s a small, fun-sized wave, but the energy is moderate (204). Afternoon goes a bit ordinary with the wind turning cross-on, so the morning is the pick of that day.

The real standout of the whole run comes on Saturday the 1st of August. The morning is glassy with a 4ft SE groundswell. The period jumps to 12 seconds, bringing in some proper energy (316) and shape. The wind is dead calm, so it’s glassy perfection. The afternoon holds the same quality, with some clouds moving in but the wind staying glassy. The swell energy actually bumps up a touch (341). This is the best on offer, no question.

Sunday the 2nd of August keeps the good run going, with clean, cross-off wind and a smaller 2ft to 2ft SE swell. The period stays at 11 seconds, so it’s still got some push. The energy is moderate (216-225). It’s clean and fun, but definitely smaller.

Monday the 3rd of August is a bit of a curveball. The morning is glassy but the swell is a weak 3ft from the NNE with a short 7-second period. The energy is low (147). It’s surfable, but ordinary. The afternoon turns ugly with onshore wind and a poor surf rating.

The next few days are largely a write-off. Tuesday the 4th of August has onshore wind and a messy 4ft swell in the morning. The afternoon cleans up with a cross-off breeze and a 6ft S swell, but the period is short (6 seconds) and the wind is light. Wednesday the 5th of August sees a 7ft S swell with moderate energy (516), but the wind is cross-shore and the rain is blowing in. It’s a messy, choppy beast, probably more interesting for kite surfing than paddling. Thursday the 6th of August morning is clean with a 4ft SE swell, but the afternoon turns cross-off and the rating drops.

The second week of August is a bit of a slow burn. The next real standout is a long way out. On Sunday the 9th of August, the afternoon is looking very promising. The wind goes glassy and the swell jumps to a 8ft N swell with a very strong energy reading (531). That’s a solid, powerful wave, but at that size it’s moving into expert territory. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit walled up, but glassy conditions on a big swell is a rare treat.

After that, it’s a mixed bag of small, clean days and messy cross-shore wind. There’s a window around Wednesday the 12th of August with glassy mornings and a 4ft S swell, and again on Thursday the 13th of August with a glassy 3ft E groundswell, but the energy is moderate. The final weekend of the outlook, Saturday the 15th of August, is small and clean but nothing to write home about.

So, the pick of the entire run is the glassy Saturday morning of the 1st of August. The 9th of August afternoon is a big, powerful wildcard for the experts, but it’s a long way off and the period is short for that size. A classic case of the first week holding the best cards.

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.
