The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s cookin’ for our stretch of coast.

Right off the bat, things are pretty quiet. The water’s sittin’ at a balmy 69°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year at Beavers—that’s a real treat if you’re keen to skip the thick wetsuit. But don’t get your hopes up just yet because the surf is slim pickin’s.

Kickin’ off Tuesday the 25th of August, it’s small and messy. Tuesday morning’s got a tiny 2ft swell out of the SW with a long 16-second period, so there’s some deepwater energy, but with a cross-onshore breeze it’s just bumpy and weak. The combined swell energy is only 206—real weak stuff. Tuesday afternoon is even smaller at 1ft. Not worth paddlin’ out unless you’re after a float.

Wednesday the 26th shows a tiny bump—3ft from the SSE with a period around 12-13 seconds. Still marginal. Energy climbs a bit to 376, but light cross-onshore winds and ‘questionable tide conditions’ just mean it’s not gonna be a classic. Thursday the 27th gives us a glimmer: afternoon sees glassy conditions with a 2ft S swell at 11 seconds, and the combined energy is 261. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary—not a standout.

Friday the 28th, the swell nudges up. Morning have 4ft from the WNW, but with a short 8-second period, it’s choppy. The afternoon gets a 7ft WNW swell, period only 6 seconds, and the wind swings cross-offshore and clean. The energy hits 439, but with that period, it’s gonna be lumpy and steep. That size is gettin’ into the territory where only the more experienced crew will be comfortable. The best bet on this day is the late afternoon for the cleaner lines, but it’s not going to be the pick of the window.

Saturday the 29th has 2ft SW groundswell at 17 seconds—nice long lines, but the energy is moderate (560). Morning is cross-onshore, so a bit bumpy, but the afternoon cleans right up with a cross-offshore breeze (12 mph). That’s a decent look for a small, clean wave. The crowd factor at Beavers is “often,” so expect some company, but it’s worth it for a few long-period runners.

The next standout pops up a bit later. Sunday the 6th of September through Tuesday the 8th is a dry spell with tiny 1-2ft SSW swells and weak energy. Not much action there. But then on Wednesday the 9th of September, we get a 2ft SW swell at 17 seconds—the combined energy is 275. The morning should see some hollow lines with that 17-second period, and the wind is light onshore at 3 mph, so it’s not glassy, but the swell quality will be better than the flat days before. Afternoon is cross-shore with a gentle breeze, so it’ll be okay but not epic.

Overall, this 16-day stretch is pretty mellow. The best session will likely be Saturday afternoon the 29th of August at Beavers—small (2ft), clean cross-offshore winds, and long-period SW groundswell giving it some shape. The other highlight is Wednesday the 9th of September morning: similar 2ft long-period SW swell, with light winds. But don’t expect barrels—just clean, cruisy waves for a longboard or a fun shape.

There’s nothin’ over 8ft here, so it’s all manageable for a decent skill level, but the consistent theme is small and marginal. Take what you can get, and enjoy the warm water.

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.
