Redbill Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. Redbill Beach is the only spot on the radar, so that’s where we’re looking. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.

The first real surf worth paddling out for is Sunday afternoon, July 5th. We’ve got a 7ft SSE swell pushing in at 10 seconds, and with a light cross-off breeze, it’s looking clean. The energy’s moderate, around 813, and the conditions are set to be really good. This is a solid start.

Monday morning, July 6th, drops a bit to 5ft from the SSE, but the wind goes glassy out of the west. That’s a beautiful window – clean, smooth, and the swell still has some push to it. The energy is moderate at 386. Early session all the way.

Things get smaller and less exciting through the middle of the week. Tuesday morning the 7th is just 2ft, and by Friday the 10th it’s dropping to 2ft with messy cross-shore winds. Not worth stressing about.

But hold on – Monday, July 13th, we get a fresh pulse. 5ft from the NE with glassy conditions again in the morning. That’s a clean, fun size for just about anyone, and the energy is solid at 342. Tuesday morning the 14th is smaller and cross-off, but still rideable.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Wednesday, July 15th, the models are throwing a 10ft swell from the south at Redbill. That’s a big one – energy is cranking at 1251 – but the wave comment straight up says it’s too big for this break. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it might be a washing machine. Not recommended for a paddle session unless you’re absolutely frothing for a beating.

Thursday, July 16th, comes back down to a much friendlier 6ft from the SSE with clean cross-off winds. The energy is still strong at 644, and the conditions are expected to be very good. This could be the standout of the run if you want size without the danger.

But the real cherry on top is Friday, July 17th. Both morning and afternoon are serving up 7ft to 7ft from the SE with a very long period of 13 seconds. That’s groundswell – proper energy. The wind is glassy, the energy is pumping at 1476 to 1704, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best day of the whole 16-day window, no question. The long period means these waves will have serious shape and power, but at a beach break like Redbill, they could close out a bit. Still, for a surfer who knows what they’re doing, this is a session to clear your calendar for.

Saturday, July 18th, still has good size at 7ft from the ESE with a 12-second period, but the wind goes cross-offshore. It’s still solid, but not quite as perfect as Friday.

After that, it fades. Sunday, July 19th, is down to 4ft and the following week drops off into weak, small surf. By Monday, July 20th, it’s barely a ripple with 2ft and then a weird 1ft with a 19-second period that’ll be super inconsistent and gutless.

So to sum it up: the first real standout is Sunday the 5th, but the absolute best on offer is Friday, July 17th – glassy, 7ft to 7ft groundswell from the SE with a 13-second period. That’s the one to aim for. Thursday the 16th is a solid backup. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or too big for the break.

Stay stoked.
