The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week and a half is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with nothing worth paddling out for. From Friday the 7th all the way through to the 17th, it’s just a whole lot of nothing. Tiny swell, mostly under 2 ft, with a mix of onshore and cross-onshore winds. The combined energy is weak, like 151 to 253 (to give you an idea), and the wave comment keeps saying "poor surf conditions". It’s a real flat spell, and honestly, if you’re not a kite surfer on a blustery day, there’s no reason to get wet.
Things finally start to show a glimmer of life on Tuesday the 18th. That afternoon, Beavers (Beavers-Hazards) could be your chance. The wind goes cross-offshore from the WNW at 9 mph, and the conditions are described as "clean". The swell is still small, only 4 ft, coming from the WNW with a short period of 6 seconds – so it’s lumpy wind swell, not groundswell. The combined energy bumps up to 264, which is still moderate. For a beginner-friendly break that’s fairly consistent, this is the best window in the whole outlook. It’s not a world-class day, but it’s the only time you’ll get a clean wave.
After that, the 19th and 20th slip back into marginal or poor conditions, with small 2 ft to 2 ft swell and cross-onshore or onshore winds. The 22nd looks like a washout again.
So, if you’re desperate, circle Tuesday the 18th afternoon. The rest of the 16 days? Honestly, keep the board in the car and the wax in the wrapper. It’s a quiet run.

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.
