Table - best surf conditions forecast for Redbill Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get this outlook sorted. I’m Rusty, and I’ve had a good look at the charts for Redbill Beach.
Starting off, it’s a bit of a slow burner. We’ve got small, messy energy hanging around, and it’s gonna take a while before anything really gets going. The first real surf worth talking about shows up on Sunday, July 12th, but it’s not a classic. We see a northerly wind swell coming in at around 5ft from the NNE, but it’s a short-period affair at 7 seconds and the cross-offshore breeze won't help it look its best. The combined energy is only moderate (200). It’s surfable, but it’s not the kind of day you’d cancel plans for. Monday the 13th drops off into a tiny, near-flat spell with long-period leftovers, barely worth a paddle.
We get a stretch of pretty ordinary, small surf through until Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th. Thursday morning offers something a little cleaner with glassy conditions and 2ft of southerly swell at 12 seconds, giving a moderate energy reading (139). It’s clean, but tiny. The water temp is about average for the time of year here.
Friday the 17th is more of the same – small and clean, but not really doing much.
The first real standout comes into view on the weekend. Saturday the 18th is a beauty. 3ft of southerly swell with an 11-second period, and the wind is near glass – cross-off in the morning and glassy by afternoon. The combined energy climbs into a moderate range (210 and 205). The break is inconsistent, but if you get a set, it’ll be clean and lined up. Crowds are sometimes around, so it might be worth an early look.
Sunday the 19th holds onto some small, clean energy with moderate readings, but nothing special.
Now, here’s the big one. Things ramp up seriously around July 20th. That Monday afternoon we see a solid 5ft of northerly swell at 7 seconds, but the combined energy jumps to a very strong 706 – there’s a lot of power in the water. Tuesday the 21st keeps the energy high (765 and 794) with 4ft to 6ft of easterly swell at 11 seconds, but the wind is a cross-off and the conditions are described as marginal. However, the true standout hits on Wednesday the 22nd. We get a 5ft swell from the ENE at an ideal 11-second period, with light offshore wind in the morning and completely glassy conditions by the afternoon. The combined energy is strong (601 and 505). This is the best session of the whole outlook. The swell direction matches the optimum for Redbill Beach perfectly. Because the height is over 5ft, it’s solid expert territory – this is not for beginners. The long period and strong energy will give bombs, especially good for a beach break setup, but be ready for long lulls between sets.
Thursday the 23rd is still good, with 4ft from the ENE at 10 seconds and glassy morning conditions (447), but the afternoon picks up a light cross-shore that might put a wrinkle on it.
From Friday the 24th through to Sunday the 27th, we see a steady drop-off in size, with the last real standout on Monday the 27th: a 7ft pulse from the north at 8 seconds and strong energy (661), with clean conditions. That one is also solidly in expert territory.
Overall, the week of the 22nd is when you want to be in the water. Wednesday the 22nd is the hands-down highlight: solid size, perfect direction, and glassy conditions. The runs before and after are mostly small or marginal.
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.
