Redbill Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about Redbill Beach. It’s a quiet stretch, an inconsistent beach break, so don’t expect a wave every set. The water’s at 57°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing extreme, but a nice little bonus.

The first real chance of anything decent comes on Monday morning, the 10th of August. A NE swell pushes in at 8ft, with a period of 9 seconds, and a clean cross-off wind from the SSW. The combined energy is strong, at 1029, so there’s some proper power. That’s top-end for experienced surfers only – over 8ft, so beginners should stay on the beach. The wind stays clean through the afternoon, though the swell drops a touch to 8ft, and the energy is still high at 1039. A solid day if you’ve got the skill.

Tuesday morning, the 11th, keeps the NE swell at 5ft, period 10 seconds, with clean cross-off wind. The energy is 665 – moderate to strong. By Tuesday afternoon, the wind goes glassy, with the swell at 4ft and the same 10-second period. That’s clean, fun, and the energy is 605. This is the standout of the first week – glassy conditions, good shape, and not too big. Crowds are possible here, so you might have company.

After that, the swell backs off. From Wednesday the 12th through to the 20th, it’s small, with heights mostly under 3ft. The wind is often offshore, but the waves are just too weak.

Then, on Friday the 21st of August, a NE swell of 7ft, period 8 seconds, rolls in with clean cross-off wind. The energy is 554 – strong. This is a long-range call, so promising but less certain. Saturday morning the 22nd is the real highlight: 8ft NE swell, period 8 seconds, glassy with no wind, and the energy is a massive 1245. That’s very strong, and the glassy surface means it’ll be clean. Expert territory only – over 8ft. The period is short, so it’ll be punchy, but with that energy and glass, it’s a serious session.

Sunday morning the 23rd keeps it good – 6ft, glassy, energy 508 – still strong and clean. The rest fades out to smaller, less exciting waves.

So, the best on offer: Tuesday afternoon the 11th for a glassy, fun session, and Saturday morning the 22nd for a big, powerful, glassy day for the experts. Crowds are a factor at times.
