The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Beavers stretch over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a lean run. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. We're looking at a long, frustrating gap right from the start, with nothing worth getting wet for until well into the second week. The first real glimmer of anything is on Saturday, August 8th, and even then it's a struggle.

The main issue is the swell. For the most part, we're looking at tiny, weak waves. The combined energy figures are mostly in the low to mid hundreds, which is just weak, gutless stuff. The swell direction is all over the shop too, coming from the S and SW, which isn't the optimum W direction that Beavers really needs to fire. The winds are light, which is a positive, but with almost no swell to work with, it doesn't mean a thing.

So, the only spot that even gets a whisper of a mention is Beavers. It's a beach and reef setup, and it's fairly consistent in terms of it *being a wave*, but the quality is the problem. It's a beginner-friendly spot, but you’d be a beginner with a lot of patience. The water is currently sitting at 69°, which is a massive 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – that's very unusual, almost like a warm bath out there.

Now, if you're desperate, the best it gets is on Saturday, August 8th in the morning. We’ve got a 1ft swell from the S with a long period of 18 seconds, but the combined energy is still only moderate at 273. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the SW. It's described as "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions," so you’d be scratching for a tiny, clean but weak wave. It’s not a standout, it’s just the least-bad option on the board.

After that, Sunday, August 9th afternoon offers a 2ft swell from the WNW with an 11-second period and a light onshore wind. The energy is moderate at 257. Again, the scale is just so small. The rest of the run into mid-August is a similar story: tiny, weak swells that are more of a rumor than a reality. The conditions are just "poor" across the board.

Honestly, this stretch is a dud. If you're a surfer, you're better off leaving the board in the car. The setup is so weak and the waves so small, that if the wind picked up, it'd look more interesting for a kite than a paddle. Forecasts can change, but for now, this is a blank run that's pretty normal for an area that just can't catch a break.

Later, 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.
