The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk about Redbill Beach. It’s a quiet stretch, an inconsistent beach break, so don’t expect a wave every set. The water’s at 57°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing extreme, but a nice little bonus.

The first real chance of anything decent comes on Monday morning, the 10th of August. A NE swell pushes in at 8ft, with a period of 9 seconds, and a clean cross-off wind from the SSW. The combined energy is strong, at 1029, so there’s some proper power. That’s top-end for experienced surfers only – over 8ft, so beginners should stay on the beach. The wind stays clean through the afternoon, though the swell drops a touch to 8ft, and the energy is still high at 1039. A solid day if you’ve got the skill.

Tuesday morning, the 11th, keeps the NE swell at 5ft, period 10 seconds, with clean cross-off wind. The energy is 665 – moderate to strong. By Tuesday afternoon, the wind goes glassy, with the swell at 4ft and the same 10-second period. That’s clean, fun, and the energy is 605. This is the standout of the first week – glassy conditions, good shape, and not too big. Crowds are possible here, so you might have company.

After that, the swell backs off. From Wednesday the 12th through to the 20th, it’s small, with heights mostly under 3ft. The wind is often offshore, but the waves are just too weak.

Then, on Friday the 21st of August, a NE swell of 7ft, period 8 seconds, rolls in with clean cross-off wind. The energy is 554 – strong. This is a long-range call, so promising but less certain. Saturday morning the 22nd is the real highlight: 8ft NE swell, period 8 seconds, glassy with no wind, and the energy is a massive 1245. That’s very strong, and the glassy surface means it’ll be clean. Expert territory only – over 8ft. The period is short, so it’ll be punchy, but with that energy and glass, it’s a serious session.

Sunday morning the 23rd keeps it good – 6ft, glassy, energy 508 – still strong and clean. The rest fades out to smaller, less exciting waves.

So, the best on offer: Tuesday afternoon the 11th for a glassy, fun session, and Saturday morning the 22nd for a big, powerful, glassy day for the experts. Crowds are a factor at times.

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.
