The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look what's cooking at Redbill Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it's a slow start. We've got a few tiny, ordinary waves to kick things off, but nothing really worth paddling out for. The first real glimpse of something decent doesn't show up until Monday morning, August 10th. That's when a solid 10ft NE swell hits, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is a hefty 1665, so there's plenty of power in the water. The wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping things clean. But honestly, this is a big one – over 8ft, so it's strictly for the experts. Anyone else should sit this one on the beach. The water temperature is sitting at 57°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Tuesday morning, August 11th, looks like a sweet spot. The swell drops back to a much more manageable 4ft from the NE, still with a 10-second period, and the energy is a solid 634. The wind is calm and cross-offshore, making for some glassy, clean conditions. This is a good window for the intermediate crew to get amongst it.
We get a bit of a lull after that, with some choppy, messy days. Then, keep an eye on the morning of Saturday, August 15th. This one is interesting. It's not big, only 2ft, but the swell is from the south with a very long period of 21 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy (519). The wind is light offshore, so it'll be clean. This long period stuff can be a bit straight at a beach break, so it might be a bit walled up, but the quality of the energy should be there for a few fun ones.
The standout, without a doubt, is Monday morning, August 10th. That 10ft NE swell with the clean offshore wind is the biggest, most powerful swell of the whole outlook. It's a beast. But remember, it's for experts only. The next best call is the clean, fun-sized waves on Tuesday morning, August 11th, which is a much better bet for most surfers.
After that, it's a long, slow fade into tiny, weak surf for the rest of the second week. Nothing really worth chasing.
Rusty, signing off.

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.

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.
