The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Redbill Beach.
Right off the bat, the next few days are a write-off. Sunday the 9th is flat and ugly with a weak 1ft cross-shore bump. Nothing to get out of bed for.
Things start to get interesting Monday morning, the 10th of August. We’ve got a solid 8ft NE groundswell rolling in with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSW, keeping it clean. The combined swell energy is pumping at (1072) – that’s serious juice. This is expert territory though; over 8ft is no joke for the average punter. Monday afternoon stays good but drops slightly to 8ft, still clean, but the wind picks up a notch.
Tuesday the 11th is a standout. The morning has a 6ft NE swell at 10 seconds, clean cross-offshore winds from the WSW, and solid energy (1029). Tuesday afternoon is even better for the average surfer: 5ft, still clean, with the wind dropping to a mere 3 mph cross-offshore from the NW. That’s about as good as it gets for a Tuesday session. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
From Wednesday the 12th through the rest of the first week, the swell drops fast. Wednesday morning is a knee-high 3ft, and it just peters out from there. We get a couple of glassy mornings around the 15th and 16th, but the swell is tiny – 1ft to 2ft. Ordinary conditions.
There’s a long gap of small, poor surf until the 20th of August. Thursday the 20th sees a jump back up to 7ft NE windswell, but it’s messy cross-shore wind and short period (7 seconds). It’s marginal. Friday the 21st is similar, 8ft NE but still cross-shore and chopped.
The real second-week highlight is Saturday the 22nd of August. We’ve got a clean, glassy 4ft NE swell with no wind. That’s a fun, clean size for everyone. The energy is moderate (251). Sunday the 23rd is onshore and messy again. Monday the 24th offers a 5ft SSE swell with light cross-shore wind – marginal but the best of the final few days. Keep in mind, Redbill Beach is an exposed, inconsistent spot, so you’ve got to pick your windows.
The pick of the whole forecast is Monday morning the 10th for the experts, and Tuesday afternoon the 11th for anyone looking for clean, manageable waves.

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.
