The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you how it's looking for the next few weeks.
Straight up, I'm not gonna lie to you, this is a pretty grim run for Redbill Beach. We’ve got a big, ugly gap of quiet days to start. The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for doesn't show up until Monday, August 10th, so that’s a solid few days of flat or blown-out junk.
Let’s get into it. The water at Redbill Beach is sitting at 57°F right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus if you're in a spring suit.
Forget the weekend. Saturday and Sunday are a total write-off. Tiny, weak waves with poor surf conditions. The combined energy is barely a whisper (51 and 67), so don't even bother.
Now, Monday morning, August 10th, is where it finally gets interesting. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell hitting from the NE, with a period of 9 seconds. That's a decent amount of energy—813—and the wind is a clean cross-off from the SW. It’s gonna be a bit of a beast, though. Over 8ft, that’s experts-only territory, but it’s forecast to be clean. Tuesday morning keeps that energy pumping (1036) with a 6ft NE swell and cross-off winds. But the real standout for the whole period? Tuesday afternoon, August 11th. The wind swings light and cross-off from the WSW, the swell jumps to 6ft from the S, and the energy is cranking at 1219. The forecast says excellent conditions for experienced surfers, and I’m feeling that. That’s your best session, right there.
After that, it drops off a cliff. Wednesday, August 12th, has a tiny 3ft NW swell that’s not worth the drive, though the wind is clean. Thursday and Friday are absolute duds – tiny, long-period S swells (16 seconds) that are just too drawn out for a beach break like this. You’ll be waiting forever for a set.
The following week is just a quiet, ordinary grind. We’re talking knee-high slop, with periods of glassy conditions but no power. The combined energy dips into the double digits (37, 27), which is flat. There’s a slight flicker of life on Sunday, August 23rd, with a 3ft NE swell and glassy conditions, but it’s nothing to get excited about.
If you’re a kite surfer, the strong cross-shore winds on the 10th and 11th might look more appealing than paddling. For the rest of us, it’s a one-hit wonder. That Tuesday afternoon is the only real highlight. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
