The Lowdown

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

Right off the bat, we've got a bit of a mixed bag. The good news is there is surf on offer, but it's going to be a game of patience. The first real standout kicks off the period on Friday morning, July 24th. We're looking at a solid 7ft south swell, with a period of 9 seconds, pushing a moderate amount of energy through (756). The wind is light and offshore from the west, which is exactly what you want to see. It's going to be clean, offering up some nice, rideable waves. This is definitely the pick of the first few days.

The weekend hangs in there but drops off. Saturday the 25th has a slightly smaller 5ft south swell in the morning, still with light winds, but it's a bit cross-off, so not quite as perfect. Sunday the 26th sees the surf drop right away, with only 3ft to 2ft on offer. It's surfable but ordinary, and the energy drops right off to just 76 by the afternoon.

Then we hit a bit of a lull. Monday and Tuesday are pretty flat. Monday the 27th has tiny 1.0ft to 1ft waves with a very long 16-second period, but the energy is weak (89-99). Tuesday the 28th sees a jump in size to 8ft, but it's a messy, short-period north windswell with a strong cross-off breeze. The combined energy is moderate (606-662), but the quality is poor. This one is a pass.

Things start to look up again on Wednesday the 29th. The swell drops back to a clean 4ft to 4ft from the south, but the period stretches out to 12 seconds on the afternoon session. With light offshore winds, the wave energy is back up to 506, and it's looking very good. Thursday the 30th is a real treat for the morning crew. Glassy conditions, a light 4ft south swell, and clean lines. It's a small day, but it will be perfect for a longboard or a funboard.

Now, here's a massive one to keep an eye on. Saturday, August 1st, looks like it could be a beast. The forecast is showing a 10ft south swell, but the period is only 8 seconds. The combined energy is a whopping 1413, which is strong. However, the note says it's predicted to be too big for this break. That amount of swell is going to turn it into a washing machine, making it an experts-only affair at best, and even then, it's borderline. The afternoon drops to 7ft, but the wind picks up. I'd be watching this one from the sand.

The following week is a steady decline into small, clean conditions. The standout there is Monday morning, August 3rd, and Tuesday morning, August 4th. Both have glassy conditions with 4ft to 4ft of south swell. The energy is moderate (429 and 272), and it's going to be smooth as glass. Perfect for a quiet paddle. Later in the week, August 7th brings a 3ft east groundswell with a 12-second period and glassy conditions in the morning. That's a nice little runner for a point break, but at a beach, it might be a bit straight. Still, clean and surfable.

Overall, the best windows are the Friday morning, July 24th, for the best size and quality, and the glassy mornings of August 3rd and 4th for the cleanest conditions. The big swell on August 1st is a wildcard, but it's a lot of raw power for Redbill.

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.
