The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you how it’s lookin’ for Redbill Beach over the next couple weeks. Honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag—some clean moments but nothin’ that’s gonna get your heart racin’ too hard. We gotta wait a bit for the action.
The first real standout worth paddlin’ for is the Wednesday morning, the 16th of September. Swell jumps up to 8ft from the S with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is pumpin’ at 772—that’s some solid moderate-to-strong wave energy there. But listen, this one’s only for the advanced crew. At that size, beginners are gonna get worked. The wind’s cross-off from the SSW at 16 mph, so it’ll be clean, but that bigger S swell at a beach break can get a bit lumpy. Still, it’s the biggest push of the stretch.
Then we got a real beauty on Thursday morning, the 17th. Swell drops to 4ft from the S, period at 8 seconds, combined energy at 230 (moderate). But the wind? Dead calm. Glass. Zero knots. That’s gonna make for some silky clean waves. This is your chance for a fun session without the crowd stress—though Redbill can get a few heads sometimes. Definitely the best all-rounder in the first week.
Later on, Friday morning, the 18th, the swell gets a real long period—16 seconds from the S, with 3ft waves and combined energy at 414 (moderate-strong). Light offshore wind from the W at 3 mph. That long period will have some real push, but on a beach break it can straighten out. Still, clean and promising.
Water temp’s sitting at 57°F—that’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 3°F above average, so it’s a bit more comfortable than usual.
After that, we drop into some smaller days. There’s a few clean mornings with light winds and small swell, but nothin’ to write home about until the end of the window. Saturday morning, the 26th of September picks up a bit with 5ft from the S, period at 6 seconds, combined energy 233 (moderate). Wind’s light cross-off, so it’ll be rideable, but short period means it’s a bit weak and crumbly.
All in all, the best bet is Thursday the 17th for a glassy, fun-sized surf, or if you’re experienced and want some power, Wednesday the 16th early.
Stay stoked, 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.
