The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, looking at what’s on the cards for Redbill Beach over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow start, with the first proper session not showing up until Thursday the 30th of July.
The early patch is a mixed bag, but we get a real standout on the Saturday morning (1st of August) when a clean, glassy 4ft swell from the SE rolls in with a long period of 12 seconds. Combined wave energy is sitting at (322), so there's some good grunt behind it. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 58°F, which is a nice little bonus. That Saturday arvo stays glassy too with 3ft of SE swell, making for a quality day all round. Sunday the 2nd holds up alright with clean 3ft waves, but nothing to write home about.
Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are pretty ordinary – either cross-shore winds or tiny, weak swell – so you wouldn’t bother. The swell drops right off mid-week, with nothing worth paddling out for through to the 9th of August.
Now, the real standout is a long way off, on Monday the 10th of August. We’re looking at a solid 8ft NE swell early in the morning with clean, cross-offshore winds from the NNW. The combined energy hits a whopping (1106), so it’s powerful, strong stuff – this one’s for experienced surfers only, as it’s way too big for beginners. The water will likely still be around the average mark for this time of year. It stays good through the arvo with 8ft waves and clean conditions. Just keep in mind, that’s over a week and a half away, so it’s a promising but not locked-in call.
The following Friday the 14th of August also looks good: 7ft S swell in the morning with a light offshore, then glassy 7ft waves in the arvo – another one for the experienced crew, with energy (726) and (1360) respectively.
If you’re a beginner, steer clear of those 6ft+ days. The breaks here are exposed to the east, and with a long-period SE groundswell on the Saturday, it might be a bit straight for the beach break, but the glassy conditions will make it a joy for those who know what they’re doing. The crowds here can be around sometimes, so it could get a little busy. For the kite crew, those big NE swells mid-August with onshore wind earlier in the week might look more appealing than for paddle surfing.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
