Redbill Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Redbill Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Right now, we’re looking at a pretty quiet start. The first real window of anything surfable is Monday morning, 31st August. The swell is small, around 3ft from the south with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (226). The real kicker here is the wind: glassy, from the ENE at just 3 mph. That’s about as clean as it gets. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing unusual. It’s a small day, but if you’re after a longboard or a funboard, that Monday morning session is your best bet for a while.

After that, things drop off fast. The wind turns on Monday afternoon and stays messy through Tuesday. Wednesday is small and ordinary, with swells dropping to 2ft or less. Thursday morning brings a tiny 3ft north swell with a very short 7-second period, and the energy is weak (161) – it’s surfable but nothing to write home about.

The next real standout doesn’t come until the Sunday morning of the 6th of September. That morning the swell jumps to 6ft from the south, with an 11-second period and strong energy (831). The wind is light from the WSW, clean and cross-off. That’s a solid, powerful groundswell hitting the beach. The 6ft size is getting up there – it’s not for beginners, it’s more for the experienced crew. The afternoon goes cross-on and choppy, so get in early.

The following Monday morning, 7th September, still has some leftover south swell at 4ft, energy at 435, and clean cross-off wind from the NNW. It’s a good follow-up session, but not as strong as the Sunday.

After that, the second week gets small and inconsistent again. There’s a brief spike on the 13th of September with a 6ft north swell, but the wind is onshore and messy, so it’s not worth getting excited about. The 14th of September cleans up with a 5ft north swell and light cross-off wind, but the swell is short-period (6-7 seconds) and the energy is moderate (250-287). It’s rideable, but it’s not the kind of day that’ll have you phoning in sick.

Overall, the best call is to aim for the 6th of September, Sunday morning. That’s the clear winner. The 31st of August Monday morning is a distant second if you’re desperate for a glassy, small-wave session.
