The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for Redbill Beach.

To be honest, the next 16 days aren’t looking like a classic run for this place. There are a few windows where you could get wet, but nothing that’s going to fire for days on end. We’ve got a bit of a slow start mid-week, but the standout session is actually kicking things off.

The best bet by a long shot is Tuesday morning (August 11th) at Redbill Beach. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell pushing in from the northeast with a 10-second period, and the water is sitting at 57°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The combined swell energy is solid at 679 (moderate wave energy), and with a gentle cross-offshore breeze, it’s going to be clean and lined up. That’s your window.

Tuesday afternoon holds up nicely too, with 4ft from the east-northeast and even more energy (816) with barely any wind. Definitely worth a session if you can sneak away.

Wednesday morning (August 12th) drops off a little; the swell dips to 4ft and the wind shifts, making it harder work for not much return. Wednesday afternoon actually cleans up with an offshore wind and 3ft from the east. It’s small but rideable.

Thursday through Sunday (August 13th to 16th) we are looking at small surf. Mornings are mostly clean, but the swell hovers around 2ft to 3ft. Saturday morning (August 15th) is glassy with 3ft from the south, which is about as good as it gets in this stretch, but still small.

From Monday the 17th through the end of the third week, it’s pretty grim. Swell drops to ankle-snappers and the wind is messy, with only a few glassy pockets in the mornings of the 19th and 20th. The 23rd and 25th see a bit more size (4ft to 6ft) but the wind is cross or choppy, and the period is short, so it’s not going to be pretty.

There’s a flicker of hope on the morning of Wednesday, August 26th. We get a clean 4ft from the north-northeast with an offshore wind, and the energy jumps to 265. That afternoon turns glassy with 5ft. That could be a decent end to the run, but remember, this far out (over a week away), treat it as a promising maybe, not a lock.

So, if you’re keen, hit Tuesday morning (August 11th). That’s the real standout. The rest is mostly small and ordinary, with a few clean but tiny windows.

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.
