Redbill Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Redbill Beach. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of sessions that are going to be worth paddling out for.

The overall pattern is slow to start, with a couple of tiny, glassy days on the 8th that are really just for getting wet. The real action kicks off later in the week. The standout period is from Thursday the 10th through to the 16th, where we see a solid pulse of S/SSE swell. The combined energy on the 10th morning is a solid 968 (moderate), with a 6 ft S swell at 10 seconds. That’s a decent groundswell, and with light offshore wind from the west, it’s going to be clean. This is the pick of the bunch. The face will have some push, and the offshore breeze will keep those walls lined up. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit surprises.

Following that, the 11th is still fun with a 4 ft S swell and glassy conditions in the morning, making for a really enjoyable session. The 12th drops off a cliff, with a tiny 2 ft SSE swell from a very long 19-second period. That kind of period can make a beach break close out, so it’s more of a cruise than a classic. The 16th morning sees a bit of a return with a 6 ft S swell and moderate offshore wind, but the energy is a little messy.

The second week looks less reliable. The 17th has a clean 7 ft SSE swell, but it’s a little on the bigger side, and the 18th gets messy with onshore wind. The 19th is ordinary, with a short-period 4 ft S swell. The final days from the 20th onward are limp, with small swells and poor wind direction. A true blank run sets in from the 19th afternoon to the 23rd, with only tiny, weak waves.

For the beginner, the 6 ft swell on the 10th is a touch chunky, and the 7 ft on the 17th is definitely for experienced heads only. The smaller, glassy days like the 11th morning are better for the learner crew.

The highlight is undeniably the 10th of September morning at Redbill Beach. The wind is glassy, the swell is solid from the south, and the energy is there. The 11th morning is a close second for a cleaner, slightly smaller option. The rest of the month is a waiting game.

Rusty, signing off.
