Table - best surf conditions forecast for Beavers over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Beavers is a long, slow burn. The first week and a half is pretty grim, with small, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. The glimmer of hope, and the only real standout, comes right at the end of the second week.
We kick off on Thursday, July 9, with a small 4ft swell from the WNW, but it's chopped up by light cross-onshore breezes. The combined energy is moderate (480) but the surf is poor. This same story of weak, 3ft to 2ft waves and poor conditions drags on right through until Saturday, July 19. We're looking at a solid ten-day stretch of nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first real hint of life shows up on the morning of Saturday, July 18. The swell starts to build, but it's still small. The real turnaround is on Sunday, July 19. The morning brings a 4ft swell from the SSE, with a long 15-second period, and the combined energy is a strong 889. The wind is barely a whisper, making for light cross-onshore conditions. It’s still just a marginal call, but the potential is there. This is your best bet. The afternoon holds similar size at 4ft, but the energy jumps to 956. The swell direction is a good match for Beavers' optimum westerly swell, and the long period will mean proper groundswell lines. Keep in mind, with that long period, it might wall up a bit on a beach break, but for a consistent spot like Beavers, it should still offer some fun, clean waves.
After that, it drops off again. The Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st see the swell fade back to knee-high, inconsistent leftovers. The very end of the outlook, on Friday, July 24, offers a tiny bit of junky 3ft SSE swell, but nothing to get excited about.
So, the takeaway: Write off the first ten days. The only window to keep an eye on is the morning of Sunday, July 19, where a clean, long-period SSE swell might just make the long wait worth it. It's a promising one, but it's a long way out, so don't book the time off just yet.
Rusty.

Information about the Beavers Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Beavers provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Beavers can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Beavers 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 (Beavers) 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 Beavers 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.
