The Lowdown
Alright, fellow surfers, Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks for this little corner of the coast. Let's get straight into it.
Honestly, looking at the 16 days ahead, there’s not much to get the heart racing. We’ve got a long quiet stretch upfront. The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until the 6th of September. Up until then, it’s mostly poor, small dribble with onshore and cross-shore winds messing things up.
Things start to look a bit more promising around the 6th of September. The standout session, the one you should circle on your calendar, is the morning of Sunday, the 6th. Beavers will be super clean, flat-out glassy with a light 3 mph wind. It’s only 3 ft of swell from the SSE, with moderate wave energy coming through at (619). Not massive, but it’ll be the cleanest you’ll see it for a while.
But the real highlight of this whole forecast is Monday afternoon, the 7th of September. This is where you want to be. The swell bumps up to 5 ft from the S, and the combined energy climbs into a strong range (1102). The wind goes glassy again from the SW, which means you’re in for some very clean surf. This is definitely not for beginners at that size—it's getting up there—but for the experienced crew, this should dish up some proper waves. The water temp is 70°, which is a huge 7° warmer than normal for this time of year. That's very unusual, so you can get away with a thinner suit.
After that high point, it fades again quickly. The 8th of September still has some clean 4 ft waves in the morning with a cross-offshore wind, but it’s a step down. From the 9th onwards, we're back to bumpy, weak swells and onshores. The second week is pretty forgettable: a lot of days with clean wind but next to no worthwhile swell energy, just small, weak lines.
So to sum it up, the best call is a toss-up between the glassy 3 ft waves on the morning of the 6th, and the stronger, punchier 5 ft surf on the afternoon of the 7th. For me, the 7th afternoon has the edge for quality.
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.
