Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Redbill Beach over the next couple of weeks.

First off, I’ll be straight with you – it’s a pretty lean run. We’ve got a long stretch of small, pretty ordinary surf before anything really gets going. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real standout I can see is a long way out, on the morning of Wednesday, July 22nd. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at a solid 8ft swell from the south, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a decent amount of energy pushing through – the combined energy reading is a hefty 1164 (moderate-to-strong). The wind is glassy, which is a major positive, meaning it’ll be clean as a whistle. This is strictly for the experienced crew, though. At that size, it’s well into big-wave territory, so beginners should give it a miss. The swell direction is from the south, which is fine for this exposed beach.

The afternoon of that same day, Wednesday the 22nd, is also a cracker – 8ft from the south, glassy wind, and the energy jumps up even higher to 1555 (strong wave energy). Conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s your best two sessions of the whole outlook, right there.

Before that, things are pretty quiet. There’s a small bump on the morning of Monday, July 20th that’s worth a mention. It’s a 6ft swell from the north, with a gentle offshore wind from the west-northwest. The energy is 469 (moderate), and it’s described as “good surf conditions.” That’s a solid option for the more advanced surfers, and it’s a lot more accessible than the big stuff on the 22nd. The afternoon of the 20th is also decent with a 5ft north swell and clean offshore wind.

Other than that, the rest of the days are filled with small, weak waves – mostly under 3ft, with short or long-period leftovers that just don’t have the push. There’s a long gap from now until the 20th where the recommendations are pretty poor.

So, to sum it up: the surf is looking pretty average for a long stretch, but the 20th offers a decent, clean north swell, and the 22nd is the absolute standout for the big-wave hunters. Keep an eye on the long-range forecast, but for now, I’d be planning around that Wednesday the 22nd.

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.
