Redbill Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ at Redbill Beach.

The forecast kicks off with a real slow start. We’ve got a little window of small surf coming up, but the first few days are nothing to get too worked up about.

Saturday the 4th afternoon sees a tiny 2ft swell from the SSE, but with a 16 mph cross-off breeze, it's messy. Not worth the wetsuit peel.

Now, Sunday the 5th morning is where the fire starts to light. A solid 7ft swell from the SSE, with a 9-second period. The combined swell energy is strong at 1160, and with a light 6 mph cross-off breeze, this is the standout of the whole period. This is a call for experienced surfers only – 7ft is no joke. The water’s sitting at 58°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a bonus. Sunday afternoon drops a touch to 7ft, but still very good with that same light breeze.

Monday the 6th is clean and glassy with a 5ft swell in the morning. Winds are totally off, 3 mph from the west. This is a great session for intermediate crew, and the combined energy is a solid 365. The afternoon stays glassy with a 4ft SSE swell.

Tuesday the 7th is a big step down – 2ft in the morning, and only 3ft in the afternoon. Just ordinary.

We get a nice glassy morning Wednesday the 8th with a 4ft ESE swell and 3 mph glass-off wind. Good shape, clean faces. The afternoon turns onshore and rougher.

From Thursday the 9th through the whole second week, things get patchy. There’s a long gap of flat or tiny surf right through to Monday the 14th. Most days are under 3ft, with some glassy mornings but tiny energy. The combined swell energy often dips into the double digits.

Tuesday the 15th afternoon throws up a big 8ft S swell, but it’s a short period swell of 7 seconds. That’s a punchy, lumpy wave – more suited to experts with strong arms. The wind is 12 mph cross-off, so it’ll be clean but heavy.

The last real highlight is Sunday the 19th morning – a small 2ft E swell, but with a 13-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell bringing clean lines. Combined energy is 311, and with a gentle cross-off breeze, that would be a fun, mellow session for a log or a single-fin.

Overall, the absolute standout is Sunday the 5th morning. The swell is big, the wind is light, and it’s a proper session for the experienced crew. The later weeks see a few flashes of promise but nothing that high.

Signing off,
