The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s going on at Redbill Beach. It’s a real mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but there are a couple of sessions that’ll make it worth paddling out. The combined swell energy is mostly moderate, with a few stronger pulses pushing into the high hundreds and even over a thousand.

Tuesday the 15th starts off weak. The morning has a 1ft south swell, 14-second period, with a moderate offshore breeze. The combined energy is only 139, so it’s tiny. Not worth the effort. The afternoon is a bust.

Wednesday the 16th sees a big jump. The morning has a 8ft south swell, but it’s short period at 8 seconds and cross-off wind, so it’s messy and marginal, even with energy at 850. The afternoon, though, is the standout. A 6ft south swell, 9-second period, with a gentle cross-off breeze and energy of 641. Clean, punchy waves that’ll have you frothing.

Thursday the 17th is another good day. The morning offers 5ft south swell, 9 seconds, with a gentle offshore from the WSW – clean and fun, energy at 318. The afternoon is even better: glassy conditions, 3ft south swell, same period, and energy of 326. Silky smooth waves.

Friday the 18th holds clean, rideable surf. Both sessions have 3ft south swell, a long 15-second period, and clean conditions. The energy is moderate, around 355 to 394. The long period means better-shaped waves, though at a beach break it might run a bit straight. Still, it’s clean.

Saturday the 19th drops right off. Tiny 1.0ft swell with weak energy – not worth it. Sunday the 20th is poor, with onshore winds and only a brief spike of 4ft north swell in the afternoon, but it’s short period and messy.

Monday the 21st starts slow, but the afternoon is a real gem. A 3ft south swell with a very long 17-second period and a gentle offshore breeze. The combined energy is a strong 838. Very good surf – clean, powerful lines, though the long period might make it tricky at a beach break. A standout session.

Tuesday the 22nd has a promising morning with a 3ft south swell and a very long 19-second period, energy hitting 1028. But the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s messy. The afternoon turns poor. Wednesday the 23rd is mixed, but the afternoon is another highlight: 6ft north-northeast swell, short 7-second period, but with a light cross-off breeze and energy of 506. Very good, clean conditions, and solid size.

Thursday the 24th is onshore and marginal. Friday the 25th has a standout morning: glassy conditions, 5ft north-northeast swell, 8-second period, energy at 341. Clean and fun. The afternoon gets a bit choppy.

The second week sees the surf fade. Saturday the 26th has small clean waves in the morning and a long-period south swell in the afternoon, but it’s weak. From Sunday the 27th onwards, it’s mostly poor with onshore winds and weak energy. Not much to get excited about.

So, your best calls are Wednesday the 16th afternoon and Thursday the 17th for the best combo of size, clean conditions, and good energy. Monday the 21st afternoon and Friday the 25th morning are also top-notch if you can wait. Crowds at Redbill Beach are sometimes an issue, so keep that in mind.

Stay stoked,
Rusty

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.
