Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Redbill Beach has in store for us.

The opening few days are pretty lackluster, with some small, weak swell and wind that's all over the shop. Not worth paddling out for.

It looks like we will finally see some action kick off on Sunday the 5th. The morning brings a solid 7ft swell from the S with moderate wave energy (1130), and that cross-off wind will keep it reasonably tidy. This is the standout of the whole outlook—definitely the best on offer for experienced surfers. The afternoon backs it up with a 6ft swell from the SSE.

Monday the 6th morning is looking sweet with glassy conditions and a 5ft SSE swell (368). Perfect for a session. The rest of that week continues to deliver, with Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th offering up plenty of chest to head-high sets from the SSE and SE, all with clean waves. Friday the 10th is also worth a mention with glassy conditions and 6ft ESE swell (720) in the morning.

There is a bit of a lull on the 11th, but Sunday the 12th gets a bit of energy back with a 7ft swell from the N (376), though the period is short at 7 seconds. The following week has some decent pulses, with Tuesday the 14th morning looking good—offshore wind and a 6ft S swell (639).

The long-range stuff on Sunday the 19th is promising but less certain: a glassy morning with a 7ft NNE swell (552) could be a nice surprise for those still holding out hope.

Best options: Sunday morning 5th July for the biggest, most powerful swell of the period, and Friday morning 10th July for clean, glassy conditions on a solid 6ft ESE swell.

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.
