The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here with the imperial outlook for Redbill Beach. This east-facing beach break is inconsistent and for advanced surfers only. Water temp is 58°F – a touch warmer than usual for early August, which is nice.
First decent surf hits Thursday morning, August 6. Expect 5 ft of ESE groundswell with a 10-second period, light offshore breeze from the WSW at 3 mph. Moderate energy reading of 689. Afternoon stays glassy with 5 ft from the ESE, period 9 seconds, energy 572. Still good, but the morning is cleaner.
Friday, August 7, drops hard – 2 ft SE swell, 8 seconds, energy 74. Glassy morning but waves are ordinary. Afternoon is poor.
Saturday, August 8, is flat-ish. Morning has 2 ft SE, glassy, energy 96. Afternoon not much better.
Sunday, August 9, is messy. Morning 3 ft NNE windswell at 6 seconds, choppy. Afternoon gets 6 ft NNE with a 20 mph cross-shore – poor.
Monday, August 10 is the big day. Morning sees 8 ft NE swell at 10 seconds, clean cross-off wind at 16 mph, and strong energy of 1333. Expert-only, powerful, and heavy. Afternoon drops to 7 ft but still clean.
Tuesday, August 11, glassy morning with 4 ft ENE, 10 seconds, energy 488. Good clean waves. Afternoon clean with 3 ft.
Wednesday, August 12, is average – 5 ft north at 7 seconds in the morning, fading off.
Thursday, August 13, afternoon brings 8 ft S swell with an 8-second period and 13 mph offshore wind, energy 780. Clean but short-period, so a bit dumpy.
From Friday, August 14, onward it’s tiny and frustrating. Small 1.0 ft to 3 ft swells, often with very long periods (16–18 seconds) that don’t work on a beach break. Combined energy mostly under 200, often below 100. August 19 morning has 3 ft from the south, glassy, 8 seconds – clean but tiny.
One standout: Monday morning, August 10 with 8 ft NE swell and clean conditions. The rest is quiet or small. Keep watching.

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.
