The Lowdown
Alright, let's look at the next stretch. It's going to take a little patience. For the next few days, the surf is going to be pretty uninspiring, so don't be in a hurry to grab your wetsuit.
The surf opens on the 9th with some 6ft waves, but it's short-period and a little jumbled. The energy is moderate, but it's not going to be a classic. It might be worth a look if you're desperate, but it won't be pretty.
Thursday the 10th is your best early bet. The wind goes glassy overnight, and we'll see 5ft of south swell with a longer period. The surface is going to be smooth as a lake, and that's going to make it clean and fun. It's not the biggest, but it's your best chance of a decent session in the first week.
After that, it backs right off. The weekend looks weak and messy, so don't expect anything. There's a small bump on Sunday the 13th with some clean conditions, but it's only around 3ft. Not really worth paddling out for unless you're on a longboard.
The second week’s proper story starts Friday the 18th. That's when the ocean wakes up. We've got a solid 8ft of south swell, short period, but it's hitting with strength. The energy really builds, and with offshore wind predicted, it's going to be heavy and hollow. This is the standout. That's the day to make time for.
There's another promising window on the 19th with glassy conditions and 5ft of swell, making it another good option. And the 20th looks fun – 6ft of swell and glassy – but the direction is not great for this break, so take that with a grain of salt.
A quiet spell follows, and it gets fairly small and mushy. The far end of the forecast shows another pulse of size, but it's so far out, we'll call it a glimmer, not a guarantee.
Keep in mind the water temp is about 56° on the 9th, which is a bit warmer than usual, so it's not going to be too cold.
Plan for Thursday morning if you want some clean waves, but the real big dog of the period is Friday the 18th. Lock it in.

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.
