Alright, Rusty here, and this is the only show in town—Redbill Beach. There’s nowhere else to look for a wave, so let’s dig into what’s coming our way over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, this Saturday morning, July 4th, is a write-off. Tiny 1 ft NE windswell with 15 mph cross-offshore winds. The water temp is sittin’ at 58°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only good news. The combined swell energy is a weak 38, and the surf is just poor. By Saturday afternoon we get a weird spike in period to 15 seconds, giving us 3 ft from the SSE with some serious energy (321), but it’s still marginal and messy.

Now, Sunday morning, July 5th, is where things kick off proper. We’ve got a solid 7 ft southerly swell rolling in, period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is pumping at 1229. That’s a lot of juice. Light cross-offshore breeze at 6 mph. This is excellent surf, but over 5 ft and pushing towards 8 ft means this is only for experienced surfers. Sunday afternoon drops a hair to 6 ft, still very good, and that light wind holds.

Monday morning, July 6th, is a real treat. Glassy conditions with a light WNW breeze, 5 ft SSE swell, 9-second period, and 362 energy. That’s clean, shoulder-high stuff for the guys who know what they’re doing. This could be the standout of the first week—glassy, consistent, and clean. Monday afternoon gets a bit lumpy with a cross-onshore kick.

Tuesday morning July 7th, the swell drops to 3 ft, and it’s just ordinary. Not worth paddling for. Wednesday, July 8th, sees a return to 5 ft with a 7-second period—a bit short and choppy but still rideable. The real highlight of the whole block lands on Thursday morning, July 9th. Absolute glass, zero wind, 6 ft SE swell at 9 seconds, and 518 energy. That’s gonna be beautiful. Friday morning July 10th keeps it going with another 6 ft ESE groundswell, period of 10 seconds, and glassy conditions. This is clean, powerful, and well-shaped for an exposed beach break.

After that, the second week gets quieter. Saturday and Sunday, July 11th and 12th, are mostly messy with cross-shore winds and weak, short-period swell—skip those. Monday July 13th is small and ordinary. Tuesday July 14th the swell bumps back up to 6 ft from the south, period of 8 seconds, and it’s clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. Good fun for intermediate-to-advanced crew.

From Wednesday July 15th onwards, it drops into a long period of tiny or inconsistent waves. The 15th shows 1.0 ft in the morning, then a 5 ft glassy afternoon. The 16th and 17th are flat and unremarkable. Saturday July 18th is the last real stand-out: morning glass, 4 ft ESE groundswell with an 11-second period, and 355 energy. That’s the pick for the second week—clean, long lines, but probably a bit fat and straight for a beach break given that period. Ideal for a point, but here at Redbill, expect longer waits between sets with better shape when they come. Sunday July 19th builds to 7 ft by the afternoon with a cross-shore wind and 11-second period, energy at 1028, but the wind will chop it up, so it’s more for the dedicated.

Bottom line: If you’re looking for a score, hit Thursday July 9th or Friday July 10th mornings. Second week, Saturday July 18th morning is your best bet. This break is inconsistent, so when it’s good, it’s good, but there’s plenty of flat in between.

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.
