The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and we’ve got a bit of a slow start before some cleaner moments show up. The next 16 days are mostly quiet, but there are a couple of windows worth getting wet for.
The first surf on offer is Friday, August 14th at Redbill Beach – a tiny 2ft south swell with a long 16-second period. The cross-off breeze keeps it clean. Water temp is 57°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Combined energy is 244 – weak. That long period is going to make it break a bit too straight for a beach break. Not the best start.
Saturday, August 15th is the first real highlight. The morning is glassy, with a 4ft south swell and a 9-second period. Energy jumps to 438 (moderate). Clean, small, and rideable. The afternoon gets a cross-on breeze, so morning is the call.
From Sunday, August 16th through Thursday, August 21st, it’s mostly tiny surf – under 3ft – with ordinary winds. A few mornings are glassy but flat. The 21st afternoon has a clean offshore wind and a 4ft north swell, but the period is short at 5 seconds and energy is only 100. Surfable, but nothing special.
Sunday, August 23rd is clean with a 3ft SSE swell and gentle offshore wind. Then Monday, August 24th brings a big pulse: a 10ft south swell, glassy conditions, and combined energy of 1220. That’s too big for Redbill – it’s an exposed beach, and that setup will be a mess. Experts only, and maybe better for a kite.
The standout is Tuesday, August 25th. Both morning and afternoon are glassy, with a 6ft swell from the SSE/SE and an 8-second period. Energy is 495 to 636 (moderate to strong). Dead calm wind – the waves will be clean and fun for anyone with a bit of experience. The afternoon session has the edge.
From Wednesday, August 26th through Friday, August 28th, you’ve got moderate swell (5ft to 7ft) with good offshore or cross-off winds. Energy is in the 400-789 range. Not a standout, but solid enough for a session.
Saturday, August 29th fades back to a small, glassy 3ft east swell – a mellow finish.
If you can, get out on Saturday the 15th morning or Tuesday the 25th. The 25th is the one to circle. The rest is small or ordinary, but with a few consistent days, it’s not a total bust.
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.
