Beavers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good, hard look at what’s on offer. Honest truth? This is a tough one. We’ve got a 16-day window, but the first real glimpse of anything worthwhile doesn’t show up until the latter half.

The standout session is undeniably Saturday afternoon, September 19th at Beavers. The swell pushes up to 8ft from the WNW, and here’s the kicker – the wind is cross-offshore and light. That’s pure gold for a beach-and-reef setup like this. The energy in the water climbs to 751 (moderate energy), and the forecast is calling for very good surf conditions. That’s the day to block out. It’s a long way out, nearly two weeks, so take it with a pinch of salt, but the potential is there for a proper session.

Before that, though, it’s a slog. The water is 69°F with a 5°F anomaly, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – a nice surprise. But the surf itself? Marginal at best. The first glimmer of hope comes on Thursday afternoon, September 10th. Swell hits 5ft from the SW with a short period of 10 seconds, and the onshore wind is light. The energy is up at 720 (moderate energy), and it scores a 2. It’s not perfect, but it’s the first sniff of something rideable.

We have a gap of several days after that with nothing but poor conditions. Then Thursday morning, September 17th, shows a bump to 5ft from the WNW, but it’s short period (6 seconds) and cross-on. The afternoon picks up to 6ft with the same short period, but now a cross-shore light breeze. Still looking marginal.

The day before the big one, Friday, September 18th, the afternoon shows 8ft from the WNW with a short period of 7 seconds. It’s cross-on, so a bit messy, but the energy is 648. It’s a marginal call, but the size is there.

Saturday, September 19th, afternoon is your best bet. That 8ft WNW swell, cross-offshore wind, clean conditions, and 751 energy. It’s a solid 3. That’s the one. Be aware, though, at 8ft, this is expert territory. The crowd situation at Beavers is listed as "often" busy, so expect some company if the forecast holds.

For the rest of the run, it’s poor surf with small weak swells and cross-onshore wind. The setup really looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most days.

Stay hopeful, the forecasts can always shift. For now, that Saturday in the second week is the one to circle.

Rusty.
