Table - best surf conditions forecast for Redbill Beach over the next 16 days.
Right, let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line at Redbill Beach.
The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, honestly. We’ve got some small windows of clean, rideable surf, but a lot of the time the conditions just aren’t coming together. Best to pick your moments carefully.
We kick off on Thursday the 9th of July with a tiny 2ft easterly swell, period a short 10 seconds, and the combined wave energy is weak (104). The wind is glassy though – dead calm – so the surface will be like a mirror. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. By the afternoon, a light cross-onshore messes it up further.
Friday the 10th is similar: a small 1.0ft southerly swell rolls in with a long 15-second period, but it’s weak energy (97). The morning is glassy again, so it’ll be clean, but you’ll be scratching for waves.
Saturday the 11th is one to skip. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the north, but with a brutal onshore cross-wind. The afternoon gets worse: 6ft of messy, 6-second wind swell. It’s a poor setup, honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Sunday the 12th is cleaner. Morning sees a 3ft northerly swell with cross-offshore wind, making for clean faces. The energy is weak (99). The afternoon turns offshore but drops to 2ft.
Monday the 13th: a tiny 0.7ft southerly groundswell in the morning is a no-go. The afternoon brings a 4ft northerly pulse (177 energy) with a moderate offshore, but it’s still considered poor conditions.
Now, the first real standout arrives on Tuesday the 14th of July. The morning brings a clean 2ft southerly swell with a nice long 16-second period, and the energy climbs to a solid moderate 315. Combined with a light, clean cross-offshore breeze, this is the pick of the first week. The afternoon holds similar quality with a 2ft, 16-second period swell (206 energy) and offshore wind.
Wednesday the 15th gets a bit gnarly. A 6ft southerly swell hits, period short at 8 seconds, but combined energy jumps to 529. Problem is, a strong onshore cross-wind creates a chop. It’s a messy one, again more for the kite crew.
Thursday the 16th looks sweet. The morning is glassy again with a clean 3ft southerly groundswell at 11 seconds, moderate energy (224). Great conditions for a cruise.
Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th see the swell drop back. Small 2ft and 1.0ft swells with glassy conditions keep it clean but tiny.
Now, here’s the big one for the second week. Sunday the 19th of July. The morning brings a solid 5ft southerly swell with a very long 12-second period. The combined wave energy is 728 – that’s strong. The wind is a light cross-offshore, so the surf will be clean and powerful. This is the standout of the entire forecast. It’s a bit too big for beginners, but for anyone with experience, this is the session to aim for. The afternoon drops slightly to 5ft but stays rideable.
Monday the 20th is still good. A 3ft southerly swell with offshore wind (359 energy) makes for clean, fun waves in the morning.
Tuesday the 21st sees a 4ft northerly pulse with a gentle offshore – clean, good energy (252).
Wednesday the 22nd of July has a 7ft northerly swell in the morning with glassy conditions – that’s a serious wave (414 energy). Only for experts. The afternoon gets a cross-on wind and stays big at 7ft.
Things drop back to small, clean surf from the 23rd onwards.
So, if you want the pick of the crop: Tuesday the 14th is your clean, fun, long-period gem for the first week. For the real power, mark your calendar for Sunday the 19th of July – that’s the one worth waiting for. Long range, so keep an eye on the forecast, but it looks promising.

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.
