The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s heading our way for Redbill Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’re not exactly spoilt for choice. It’s a quiet start and honestly, the first few days are pretty average. Thursday the 3rd has a tiny 1ft SSE swell, but it’s a bit of a battle with that 25 km/h west wind. The water’s sitting at 57°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Not one to get excited about.
Friday the 4th shows a glimmer of hope with a 2ft S swell, a 16-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the NW. It’ll be clean, and the wave energy is moderate (213). A solid little session for a longboard if you’re keen, but it’s not a standout.
The real action starts to build from the 9th. Wednesday the 9th afternoon sees a jump in swell – 4ft from the SSE, with a very long 18-second period. The combined energy is strong (1501), and the wind is cross-off. This is a groundswell with serious power, but that long period at a beach break can make it break a bit too straight. It’s a promising sign for what’s coming.
Now, the one to circle on the calendar – Thursday the 10th morning. This is the best on offer. We’ve got a solid 7ft S swell, with an 11-second period, putting the combined energy at a whopping 1573. The wind is offshore from the west, so it’s clean and lined up. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers only – that’s a big wave for a beach break, and it’ll be powerful. If you’ve got the skills, this is your window.
After that, it settles back down. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are smaller, with messy winds and dropping energy. The second week is a bit of a write-off, with a lot of rain and strong onshore winds, especially from the 16th and 17th. There’s a pulse of long-period S swell on the 17th, but with 30-35 km/h winds and rain, it’s a mess. Not worth the paddle.
So, the pick is clear: Thursday the 10th morning. If you’re an advanced surfer, be there. Otherwise, the rest of the window is pretty ordinary.

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.
