Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ at Redbill Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, I gotta level with you. The first week or so is pretty grim. We’re looking at a real slow start with tiny, weak swell. The first few days are mostly for the die-hards who just need to get wet. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing wild there.

The best window by a long shot kicks off on Saturday, July 18th and runs through the weekend. That’s where the real standout is. On Saturday afternoon, the ocean just goes glassy with a 1ft S swell creeping in, but the energy is building (213). It’s clean, it’s small, but it’s *there*.

Then, Sunday, July 19th is the absolute pick of the lot. The morning is glassy as a mirror, with a 2ft S swell and the energy ramping up to 269. The wind is dead calm, so it’s going to be silky smooth. If you’ve got a log, this is your morning. The afternoon keeps that glassy feel with a 2ft ESE swell, and the energy jumps to 334. That’s the best combo of the whole forecast. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so expect a few mates out, but with the conditions this good, it’s worth the company.

After that, the swell drops off again. The Monday, July 20th afternoon has a small 2ft SE swell with glassy conditions, but it’s not as punchy. Tuesday and Wednesday are a bit of a write-off with weak, short-period windswell.

Now, for the second week, things get interesting again. Friday, July 24th morning looks promising. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the NE, the energy is strong at 341, and it’s dead glassy. That’s a session for the guys who have a bit of experience; it’s not for beginners, but it’s not a beast either. The period is only 10 seconds, so it’s a bit of a workable windswell.

Then on Monday, July 27th, we get another glassy morning with 4ft E swell and energy at 226. It’s a long way out, so don’t book the day off work yet, but it’s something to keep an eye on.

Overall, the first week is a tough slog, but that Sunday, July 19th is the real gem. Get on it.

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.
