Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Beavers. Let’s not sugarcoat it – we’re in for a lean stretch, and you’ll need patience to find a salvageable session.

The first week opens with a long dry spell. From Saturday 11 July through to Tuesday 14 July, the surf is poor. Small, weak swells and cross-onshore winds mean it’s not worth a look. Water temp is about what you’d expect for the season, nothing wild.

The first glimmer appears on Tuesday afternoon the 14th. A clean 4ft swell from the WNW, but with a short 5 second period, it’ll be weak and disorganised. The offshore wind (NW at 12 mph) will put a nice face on it, but the wave energy is low (192) – don’t expect any power. It’s a pass for the desperate.

The best bet of the early run is Wednesday 15 July afternoon. You get a clean 5ft WNW swell with a cross-offshore NW wind at 12 mph. The period is still short at 6 seconds, so it’ll be bumpy, but the combined energy climbs to 292 (moderate). It’s marginal, but for this quiet stretch, it’s your best shot at a wave that holds up. Only for seasoned surfers – over 5ft with short period is not beginner friendly.

Thursday 16 July morning offers some hope: a 4ft WNW swell with a 9 second period, and a combined energy of 366 – the best energy reading in the first week. Winds are light cross-onshore (SW 6 mph), so expect a bit of ripple on the face. Still marginal, but probably the most rideable morning of that week.

Then it goes quiet until Saturday 18 July afternoon. The swell shifts to a 3ft SSE with a long 17 second period, and the combined energy jumps to 700 – the biggest number of the whole forecast. But here’s the rub: the swell is from the SSE, and Beavers likes it from the W. Total mismatch. The light cross-onshore (WSW 6 mph) adds a bit of texture. It’s a tease.

Sunday 19 July morning keeps the SSE theme, 3ft at 14 seconds, with 554 energy. Again, the wrong angle. You might find a wrap, but it’s a long way from optimal.

The second week has a bit more size, but the quality is still patchy. The standout is Saturday 25 July afternoon: a 6ft WNW swell at 6 seconds, with 555 energy. That’s a solid push of close-interval waves, but with an onshore wind (SW 6 mph), expect lumpy, choppy faces. Only for experts – over 5ft and onshore is not a party.

If I had to pick one window to paddle, it’s the Wednesday 15 July afternoon session. Clean 5ft WNW swell with a cross-offshore wind. Sure, the short period makes it sectiony, but the wind will tidy it up. It’s not epic, but it’s the most user-friendly option in a generally flat and funky outlook.

Otherwise, you’re waiting for the second half of the month, which brings more energy but often from the wrong direction. The first 8 days are basically a bust.

That’s the story from here. Keep your expectations low, check the wind, and if you hit the 15th, you’ll at least be out there.

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.
