The Lowdown
Alright, hold on to your leggies, 'cause it's not exactly pumping out there. We've got a pretty mellow stretch of surf, and you're gonna have to work for what you get. Decent waves are few and far between in this outlook, but there are a couple of windows if you're patient.
Today, the 16th, there's some cross-off wind and a decent amount of south swell showing in the 7-8ft range. It might be a bit wild and wooly, but there's some push out there. The water is 57° and that's 2° warmer than what we normally see, so that's a bonus.
Thursday the 17th cleans up as the wind swings offshore and the swell drops to around 3-4ft. It's glassy and clean, a big improvement. The energy is low, so it's all about the quality of the ride, not the power.
Friday and the weekend are on the small side, with the swell dropping right off. Friday shows a bit of energy but at 2-3ft it will be a log sort of day. Saturday morning, the 19th, is glassy and clean, but you'll be lucky to find a waist-high wave. There is a tiny pulse for the afternoon, but it's not worth getting fired up about.
From the 20th through the 23rd, it's looking pretty bleak. You got some strong winds and tiny, weak swells. The waves are going to be messy with more of a cross-chop on the water. The surf is going to be pretty much flat.
Things get interesting around Thursday the 24th as a new north-east swell fills in. It's still small, but there's a peak around the morning of Sunday the 27th when we see the biggest swell of the period: a 6-foot north-east groundswell with a period of 8 seconds. The ocean is going to be glassy, which is a huge plus. Now, that short period is a bit of a warning for a beach break like this – it can close out, but if you find the right bank it will be the most fun we've had.
After that, the swell fades again with strong onshore winds and messy conditions heading into the 1st. It's a bit of a dead end, so get your best waves in over the next few days or go chase that Sunday the 27th swell. Until then, keep your head on a swivel.
Catch you down the beach.

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.
