Alright, let’s get into it. Redbill Beach is the only spot on the radar, so that’s where we’re looking. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.
The first real surf worth paddling out for is Sunday afternoon, July 5th. We’ve got a 7ft SSE swell pushing in at 10 seconds, and with a light cross-off breeze, it’s looking clean. The energy’s moderate, around 813, and the conditions are set to be really good. This is a solid start.
Monday morning, July 6th, drops a bit to 5ft from the SSE, but the wind goes glassy out of the west. That’s a beautiful window – clean, smooth, and the swell still has some push to it. The energy is moderate at 386. Early session all the way.
Things get smaller and less exciting through the middle of the week. Tuesday morning the 7th is just 2ft, and by Friday the 10th it’s dropping to 2ft with messy cross-shore winds. Not worth stressing about.
But hold on – Monday, July 13th, we get a fresh pulse. 5ft from the NE with glassy conditions again in the morning. That’s a clean, fun size for just about anyone, and the energy is solid at 342. Tuesday morning the 14th is smaller and cross-off, but still rideable.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Wednesday, July 15th, the models are throwing a 10ft swell from the south at Redbill. That’s a big one – energy is cranking at 1251 – but the wave comment straight up says it’s too big for this break. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it might be a washing machine. Not recommended for a paddle session unless you’re absolutely frothing for a beating.
Thursday, July 16th, comes back down to a much friendlier 6ft from the SSE with clean cross-off winds. The energy is still strong at 644, and the conditions are expected to be very good. This could be the standout of the run if you want size without the danger.
But the real cherry on top is Friday, July 17th. Both morning and afternoon are serving up 7ft to 7ft from the SE with a very long period of 13 seconds. That’s groundswell – proper energy. The wind is glassy, the energy is pumping at 1476 to 1704, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best day of the whole 16-day window, no question. The long period means these waves will have serious shape and power, but at a beach break like Redbill, they could close out a bit. Still, for a surfer who knows what they’re doing, this is a session to clear your calendar for.
Saturday, July 18th, still has good size at 7ft from the ESE with a 12-second period, but the wind goes cross-offshore. It’s still solid, but not quite as perfect as Friday.
After that, it fades. Sunday, July 19th, is down to 4ft and the following week drops off into weak, small surf. By Monday, July 20th, it’s barely a ripple with 2ft and then a weird 1ft with a 19-second period that’ll be super inconsistent and gutless.
So to sum it up: the first real standout is Sunday the 5th, but the absolute best on offer is Friday, July 17th – glassy, 7ft to 7ft groundswell from the SE with a 13-second period. That’s the one to aim for. Thursday the 16th is a solid backup. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or too big for the break.
Stay stoked.

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.
