Beavers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next sixteen days for Beavers.

It’s looking like a tough forecast. There’s a long, flat spell to start, and the surf that does show up is mostly small and messy. There’s no single day that’s a real winner, just a few windows where the wind cleans things up enough to make it worth a look.

The water is weirdly warm. It’s 69°F, which is a full 6°F above the long-term average. That’s a big anomaly, a real freak warm spell. It feels like a different season out there, but the waves are stuck in a summer slump.

The first few days are a bust. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th are tiny and poor, with cross-shore or cross-onshore winds making the surface bumpy. The combined energy is weak, between 246 and 360.

Saturday the 5th through to Tuesday the 9th is a long stretch of small, inconsistent swell. Wave heights are around 2ft to 4ft, with the combined energy peaking at 611 on Sunday the 6th. The wind is mostly side or onshore, keeping it choppy. The morning of Monday the 7th has a clean offshore breeze from the SSW, but the swell is only 4ft from the south with a 14-second period. That’s a long period groundswell, but on a beach and reef setup it can break a bit too straight. You might snag a few, but it’s a gamble.

The first real opportunity comes on Wednesday the 9th. The afternoon that day looks good with a cross-offshore wind from the NW at 15 km/h. The combined energy is 360, and the 3ft swell from the SSW with a 12-second period will be clean. The report says "expect good surf conditions." It’s small, but for a longboard, it’s your best shot of the week.

Thursday the 10th has a similar clean afternoon, but the energy is a touch lower at 355.

The next, and best, window is Friday the 11th. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the WSW with a 12-second period. The combined energy jumps to 711, a solid moderate energy. The wind is a cross-shore from the WNW at 15 km/h. It’s not perfect, but it’s the most powerful wave in the forecast. This is the standout for size and energy.

After that, it’s a steep drop. Saturday the 12th has a weird 5ft swell from the WNW with a super short period of 5 seconds. That’s pure windswell, weak and crumbly, with a combined energy of only 252. The rest of the second week is a disaster of tiny, poor surf with combined energy often dropping below 200. The morning of Friday the 18th has a 2ft swell from the SW with a 20-second period, giving a combined energy of 442, but the wind is onshore and the height is tiny. It’s a long wait for a very small wave.

So, plan your sessions. The afternoon of Wednesday the 9th for a clean, small wave, or the morning of Friday the 11th for the best combo of size and energy. Everything else is a skip. This spot is in a deep lull.

Rusty.
