Right, mate. Rusty here.
Look, it's gonna be a tough stretch. We've got a long, quiet run ahead at Beavers. This beach-and-reef setup (Beavers-Hazards) is usually a beginner-friendly spot, but there's barely a ripple on the cards for days. The first bit of hopeful movement doesn't show until Tuesday the 8th of July, so you're looking at a gap that runs all through Friday the 4th, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday—pretty much a blank week to start. Keep the optimism though; this spot is fairly consistent, so it never stays dead for long, and the forecasts can shift.
Alright, finally, on Tuesday morning the 8th of July, we see a pulse of energy. The swell ticks up to 3ft from the SSW with a long period of 18 seconds, and the combined energy is a moderate 516. The morning has a light cross-onshore which will keep things a little bumpy. The real standout is Tuesday afternoon, the 8th of July. The swell holds at 3ft, still SSW, and the wind swings around to a light cross-offshore from the NW. That is clean. The combined energy is up to 584, still moderate but showing some grunt. For a beginner spot, that's about as good as it gets this week—small, clean, and manageable. Remember, the water temp is sitting at 62°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Wednesday the 9th of July looks similar. The morning is a write-off with light onshores, but the Wednesday afternoon session, also on the 9th, is worth a look. The wind goes cross-offshore again from the NW with a gentle breeze, and the combined energy is a strong 603. Same 3ft, 16 second SSW swell, and it's clean. That's your best bet for the entire outlook—small but you'll get some nice, lined-up little runners without the crowd, though Beavers does often get busy, so expect company.
After that, it gets messy. Thursday the 10th brings a drop in period and more onshore influences. The swell direction swings to a short-period WNW, which means weaker, jumbled up waves. The 14th of July has a tiny glimmer with a glassy afternoon and 3ft from the WNW, but the period is only 9 seconds—short and weak, combined energy a paltry 185. It's surfable, but ordinary.
Everything in the second week is pretty marginal. The swell stays small, mostly under 3ft, with cross-onshore winds. There's nothing really worth planning a trip around. Just keep an eye on the window between the 8th and 9th of July for the cleanest, most fun waves on offer.
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.
Beavers is 19 km (12 miles) from Isla Vista. If you plan a vacation in Santa Barbara, look for hotels and other accommodation in Isla Vista. Isla Vista has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
