Redbill Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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

Right off the bat, the first couple of days are a write-off. Saturday the 22nd and Monday the 24th are pretty flat with weak, short-period leftovers and messy winds – not worth getting wet for. The real story starts to build from Sunday the 23rd.

Sunday morning, the 23rd, is where it finally gets interesting. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell rolling in from the south, with a period of 9 seconds, and it’s glassy – dead calm winds. That’s a rare treat for a Sunday session. The combined swell energy is moderate (241), and the water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. It’s a solid, clean option for a paddle.

The standout of the whole forecast, though, has to be Thursday the 27th. Both morning and afternoon serve up glassy conditions with a 4ft to 3ft swell from the east-northeast, period around 7-8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (207), and the wind is near zero. This is clean, user-friendly surf that’s well within reach for a good session. No crowds mentioned, but it’s a beach break, so keep an eye out.

After that, Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th offer some clean, smaller waves – around 3ft to 3ft from the northeast – but the quality drops a notch. Sunday the 30th brings a big spike in energy with a 3ft swell from the south-southeast and a very long 17-second period, pushing the combined energy up to 557 (moderate). But the wind is cross-shore, and the wave comments are marginal, so it’s a bit of a gamble. That long-period groundswell will be better for the points or reefs, not a straight beach break.

The first week of September sees a few pulses of 4ft to 6ft swell from the south and north-northeast, but the wind is often cross or cross-off, and the period is short (7-8 seconds). It’s surfable but not epic. The real kicker is the very end of the window: on Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th, we’re back to small, clean, glassy conditions with 3ft to 3ft south swell, period 10 seconds. Nice, relaxed waves to finish the run.

So, bottom line: if you’re looking for the best, aim for Thursday the 27th – it’s the cleanest, most consistent day of the whole outlook. Sunday the 23rd is a close second for a morning glass-off. The rest is a mixed bag of small, clean days and a few bigger, wind-affected pulses. Keep your expectations in check, and you’ll find a few windows of fun.
