The Lowdown

Right then. Let's have a look at what’s on the table for this stretch of coast. The window is a long one, but I gotta be straight with you—there's not a whole lot of quality lined up. We’re talking about a spot that’s fairly consistent, but the swell energy is pretty weak and the conditions are often a bit off. We've got a few sessions that are worth a look, but you’ll have to be patient and pick your windows carefully.

Alright, so the first sniff of anything rideable comes in on Friday the 11th of September. It’s small, clean-ish, with a long-period groundswell—16 seconds—coming from the southwest. Swell is only 2 ft, and the combined wave energy is low (282). The morning has a light onshore breeze, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but that’s about as good as it gets for that day. The afternoon goes cross-shore and the quality drops right off.

Saturday the 12th is more of the same, tiny 2 ft southwest swell. The morning is cross-on, the afternoon gets a bit of a clean-up with a cross-offshore breeze, but it’s still too small to get excited about. The energy is moderate at best (255-272).

Sunday the 13th sees a bump in size—4 ft in the morning, and 6 ft in the afternoon. That afternoon swell is short-period at 6 seconds, which is just a messy windswell, but the combined energy is strong (400). The wind goes cross-offshore in the afternoon, so it’ll be clean, but the wave quality is still poor. That’s a lot of energy for a beach and reef setup, and with that short period, it’s going to be a bit of a washing machine. Might be more fun for the kite crew than paddlers.

Monday the 14th drops back to 4 ft, and the winds are onshore or cross-on all day. Not great.

From Tuesday the 15th through to Wednesday the 23rd of September, it’s a real grim run. Swell heights bounce between 1 ft and 2 ft, periods are all over the place, and the wind is almost always on the wrong side of the compass. The combined energy is mostly weak to moderate, and the scores are consistently poor. There’s a morning on the 16th with a 16-second period swell, but it’s only 1 ft and onshore—just a tease. The 17th has a 21-second period, which is very long, but again only 1 ft. That kind of long period on a beach break setup will just make it break too straight. You’d need a point or a reef to make that work, and this isn’t it.

The only real standout in this whole 16-day run is on Saturday the 19th of September, in the afternoon. We’ve got 6 ft of short-period (6 seconds) swell from the west-northwest, and the combined energy jumps to 546, which is strong. The wind is cross-shore at 9 mph, so it’s not perfect but it’s workable. It’s the biggest swell of the period, and the energy is there. This is for experienced surfers only—6 ft with that much punch is not for beginners. Keep an eye on that session.

The next day, Sunday the 20th, is similar but a touch bigger—7 ft in the afternoon, with energy at 652. The period is still short (7 seconds) and the wind is cross-shore. Again, big and punchy for the experts.

After that, it fades back to tiny, weak swell until the end of the forecast. Friday the 25th of September morning is the only other bright spot—a clean, cross-offshore wind on a 2 ft, 13-second swell. Combined energy is only 164, so it’s weak, but at least the conditions will look nice. Just don’t expect much push.

So, to wrap it up: the best bet is the afternoon of Saturday the 19th of September, with the Sunday the 20th as a close second if you want a bit more size and don’t mind the short period. Everything else is a struggle for a wave. If you’re a beginner, give it a miss until we get a proper swell and some clean wind.

Stay stoked, and check the charts again in a few days.

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.
