The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Redbill Beach.
Right off the bat, we're looking at a pretty quiet start. The first few days are only serving up tiny, weak waves, and while the wind is clean, there's just not enough energy to get stoked about. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th have some small 1ft to 2ft SSE swells, and Thursday morning is glassy, but the combined energy is weak (72 to 206). It's surfable, but you'll be scratching for a ride. The real action starts to build from Sunday the 19th. That morning sees a clean 3ft southerly swell with glassy conditions and a combined energy of 277. It's a step up, but still small.
The standout window is from Monday the 20th through to Wednesday the 22nd. The swell builds to 4ft from the NE with a period of 10-11 seconds, and the wind is light and glassy. The combined energy pushes into the moderate range (317 to 430), making for the best waves of the whole forecast. It's still small enough for all skill levels, but the consistency and clean conditions will make it fun. Keep in mind, crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so you might have some company.
After that, from Thursday the 23rd onwards, the wind picks up and the swell direction shifts, but the quality holds for a few more days. Friday the 24th shows a 4ft ENE swell with a longer period of 11 seconds and a combined energy of 528 – that's the biggest push of the period. The wind is cross-off, but it's still clean. Going into the second week, the swell hangs around 2ft to 3ft, but it's steady and clean until the 28th, when it starts to fade. By the 30th, it's back to tiny, weak dribble.
So, to sum it up: the best bet is Sunday the 19th through to Wednesday the 22nd for the most consistent, clean, and fun waves. If you can get out on Friday the 24th, that 4ft swell is the biggest, but it's a bit more of a gamble with the wind. For the rest, it's a slow, quiet run.
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.
