The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ for Redbill Beach over the next couple of weeks.
First few days are pretty flat and ordinary, not much to get excited about. Things start to turn around on Friday the 24th. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is just a hair warmer than usual for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
The real standout comes Friday morning, July 24th. Swell is 6ft from the S, with a 10-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the W at 9 mph. That’s going to produce some tidy, well-shaped waves. The energy is moderate (715), so there’s some push. That’s the call of the first week, no question.
The swell hangs around 5ft on July 25th, but the wind goes cross-offshore, so it’s not as clean. Saturday arvo gets messy with cross-shore wind.
We get a quiet spell Sunday and Monday morning, but Monday afternoon, July 27th, is a surprise. The swell jumps to 8ft from the N, but with a short 7-second period. It’s clean with offshore wind, but that short period will make it a bit lumpy and less consistent. Energy is moderate (611).
Now the second week brings some serious heft. From July 29th, it’s big. Wednesday afternoon, July 29th, sees 8ft from the S, and by Thursday July 30th, we’re at 11ft to 13ft with very strong energy (up to 3441). This is expert-only territory. The wind is glassy or light offshore at times, but the sheer size will be a battle. The long period (12 seconds) on the bigger days will make it wall up hard. For the average surfer, it’s a pass.
The best of the big stuff for the brave is Friday morning, July 31st. 11ft from the SSE, 12-second period, strong offshore wind from the WNW at 6 mph, and a massive energy of 3788. Clean, powerful, and pure hell for anyone not ready for it.
Finally, August 1st brings a welcome drop. Saturday morning, August 1st, has 6ft from the SSE, glassy calm, and moderate energy (732). That’s a nice, clean, manageable wave to end the outlook.
So, to wrap it up: Friday July 24th morning is your pick for a clean, fun session. For the big-wave crew, Friday July 31st morning is the one to watch, but don’t even paddle out if you’re not ready for serious size.
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.
