Beavers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. It’s a bit of a slow grind out there, but there’s a pulse. The water temp is sittin’ at 69°, which is about 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a proper anomaly, you won’t need much more than a spring suit.

The next stretch is all about patience. We’re looking at a few days of weak, short-period bump with onshore cross-swell. Wednesday and Thursday mornings are gonna be all chop and no hope, with the swell energy sitting in the low 200s (203 and 218). Friday kicks off with a bit more push, but the morning still looks poor (251). The arvo cleans up though, and that’s where it starts to get interesting – the swell jumps to 2ft from the SSW with a 15-second period, energy building to 281, and a cross-off breeze. That’s your first real chance to get wet, even if it’s not big.

Saturday brings a pulse of WNW groundswell, but the period drops to a terrible 6-7 seconds. That’s junk. It’s gonna be bumpy and won’t break with any power. The morning is a write-off (254), the arvo is a bit better as it comes more cross-off, but the period is just too short to get excited about.

Sunday’s the one. The swell builds to 5ft from the WNW by the afternoon. Even though it’s short period (7 seconds), the energy is cranked up to 302. The light offshore/cross-off winds will make it look better than the past few days. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best of a pretty average run. Expect some cross-on bump in the morning, but the arvo should clean up into some fun, punchy shoulders.

Monday and Tuesday are a letdown after that. The swell fades back down to under 3ft, the wind swings onshore, and the energy drops back into the 199-268 range. It’s not worth paddling out for.

Wednesday the 16th looks dead. The swell drops to 1ft and the period is back up, but there’s just no energy (205). Forget about it. The weekend’s a distant memory already.

The following week, starting Thursday the 17th, the outlook is a mixed bag of the same weak stuff. A new WNW swell fills in around Friday the 18th, with the morning seeing 4ft and energy at 378. But the period is short (8 seconds) and the wind is mostly cross or cross-on. It’s not going to be pretty.

The standout, if you can call it that, is Saturday the 19th. The swell holds around 4-4ft from the WNW, the energy gets a serious boost – hitting 408 in the morning and jumping to a hearty 650 in the afternoon. The wind is light, so it'll be the cleanest and most powerful surf of the whole run. It's not huge, but it's a real sign of life. Keep your eye on this one.

After that, it starts to fade out again. The energy drops next week, with numbers dipping back under the 500 mark and the swell slimming back down to 2ft. The last few days of the forecast period, into the 23rd and 24th, are looking pretty lackluster again.

This Beavers spot is fairly consistent, but it's going to be a real pick-and-choose deal. Mostly rook-sized waves, and nothing that’s going to get the heart pumping too hard. If you’ve got a log, this is your window. Sunday’s likely your best bet for a proper session, with Saturday the 19th having the most juice on offer, though that’s a long way out. It’s promising, but let’s see how it holds up.
