The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve been staring at the charts for the next few weeks. Here’s the deal.
First up, Sunday the 19th of July. It’s not much to write home about, but we’ve got a tiny pulse at Redbill Beach. Early morning is glassy, with a 3-foot swell from the south, 12-second period. Water temp is about 57°, which is normal for this time of year. The combined wave energy is moderate (324). It’s surfable, but this spot is inconsistent, so don’t expect a wave every minute. The afternoon turns a bit cross, making it harder to find a clean face.
Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st are a little better. Swell flips to the northeast and holds around 3 to 4 feet, 11-second period. The wind is light and glassy on Tuesday morning, which is a nice little window. Combined energy is moderate (around 357-385). Still inconsistent, but if you’re just looking for a quiet paddle, these mornings are your best bet early on.
Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd? Don’t bother. The swell drops, the wind picks up, and it’s just ordinary.
Now, Friday the 24th of July – this is the one. The morning brings a 3-foot south swell, but the period jumps to 16 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. Combined energy is strong at 765. The wind is offshore and cross-off. For a spot that’s usually inconsistent, this is a rare chance where it might actually line up. The long period means it’ll break better on a clean bank, but it’s a beach break, so expect long lulls between sets. Worth setting the alarm.
Saturday the 25th is a split day. The morning is flat at 1 foot. Don’t bother. The afternoon, though, kicks up with a 6-foot south swell, 10-second period, and strong energy (723). The wind is light, nearly glassy. That’s a solid late session – but at 6 feet, it’s getting into the range where beginners will feel the pressure.
Sunday the 26th morning has clean 5-foot south swell, glassy conditions, but the 9-second period is a bit short. It’s okay, but not a standout. The afternoon gets cross-onshore, so morning is the only call.
The following week has a few flashes. Saturday the 1st of August afternoon looks promising – 6 feet from the SSE, 10-second period, combined energy 649, and light offshore winds. That’s clean, punchy, and fun. Sunday the 2nd of August morning is also strong with 6-foot SSE swell, 11-second period, and a gentle offshore. That’s another high-quality session, though the energy is still strong (640). The long period will keep the sets a bit more spaced out, which is fine for a reef or point, but at a beach it can play tricks on the lineup.
After that, things fade. The 3rd of August looks poor with onshore winds and messy conditions.
So, overall: the best waves are on Friday the 24th of July (morning) and Saturday the 1st of August (afternoon). The Friday has that rare long-period groundswell, and the Saturday has clean, solid size with good wind. The rest is a mix of small, inconsistent, or wind-affected. Pick your windows carefully.

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.
