The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, checkin’ in with a look at what’s ahead for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so let’s get into it.

We start with a couple of decent days on August 6th. Thursday morning at Redbill Beach is looking pretty sweet – we’ve got a 5ft swell rolling in from the ESE, and the wind is light offshore. That’s glassy, clean conditions, and the combined wave energy is sitting at a solid moderate 589. Thursday afternoon holds up well too, with a 4ft ESE swell and glassy wind. This is the pick of the early period. Water temp is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, so no drama there.

After that, things drop off. Friday the 7th sees the swell drop to 2ft, and while the morning is glassy, the energy plummets to just 74. Saturday and Sunday are small and messy. By Sunday the 9th, we’ve got a 7ft NNE windswell but the wind is howling cross-shore at 12 mph, making a total mess of it. That’s a skip.

Monday the 10th is interesting, but not for everyone. The morning has an 8ft NE swell with 1335 energy – that’s strong. Wind is cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but at that size, this is for experienced surfers only. The afternoon eases to 6ft and stays clean. That’s the standout for the bigger wave crew. The swell period is around 10 seconds, so it’s got some push, but at a beach break it’ll be a bit fat. Still, if you’re competent, Monday afternoon is the go.

The rest of the week into the second week drops off again. We get some 4ft to 4ft swells with offshore or glassy winds on the 12th and 13th, but the energy is moderate at best. By the 14th and 15th, the swell is tiny – 1ft to 2ft – but with clean conditions. That’s more of a longboard or funboard session. There’s a bit of a spike on the 16th with a 4ft S swell, but the wind goes cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and poor.

Looking further out, the 17th of August morning is glassy with a 4ft ENE groundswell – period is 11 seconds, so it’s got some shape. The energy is moderate at 325. That’s a promising start to the week, but the afternoon gets ruined by cross-onshore wind. The 20th and 21st look like a return to cleaner conditions, with 4ft to 4ft ENE swells and light offshore winds. That’s a solid option for the tail end of the forecast, though it’s over a week away so keep an eye on it.

Honestly, if you’re paddling out, Thursday the 6th and Monday the 10th afternoon are your best bets. The 6th for the clean, fun-size waves, and the 10th for the bigger, punchier stuff if you’ve got the skills. Everything else is either small, windy, or just ordinary. The long gap between Monday the 10th and the 17th is a bit of a bummer, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.

Stay stoked, and I’ll see you out there.

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.
