The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on this forecast.
So, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty sleepy, with a brief window of something to ride early before a long dry spell hits. The water temp is the big story right now – it's 68°F, which is a whopping *6°F* warmer than usual for this time of year. That's a real oddity, so you'll be in a shorty or even a spring suit.
Your first chance to paddle out is Sunday morning, July 26th, at Beavers (Hazards). We've got a 0.8ft swell from the SW, but the period is a super long 19 seconds. That's proper groundswell. The energy is moderate (490), but with that long period, it can sometimes break too straight at a beach-and-reef setup. The wind is light and offshore, so it'll be clean. It's a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, but with crowds "often," you won't be alone. The afternoon shifts to a light cross-shore breeze, same size.
Monday the 27th sees a nudge up to 1.0ft from the SSW in the morning with a cross-on wind, so it'll be a bit bumpy. Energy is still moderate (706). Tuesday the 28th through Friday the 31st of July is a rinse and repeat of small, 0.7ft to 1ft surf, all with that "marginal" feel. Winds stay light but mostly cross-on or onshore, so it's not going to be a beauty. The energy hangs around the 500-600 mark, so there's a pulse, but the shape is lacking.
Come Saturday, August 1st, it's pretty much the same – 1ft dropping to 1.0ft, with some afternoon chop. Then, the lights go out. From Sunday, August 2nd, all the way through to Monday, August 10th, the forecast is all "poor surf conditions." The swell drops to 0.4ft or less, the energy plummets to weak two-digit numbers (down to 61), and the period gets short and messy. The wind is mostly cross-on, so it's just not worth it. That's a solid week-plus of nothing.
The one that stands out, if you're desperate, is Sunday morning July 26th for the cleanest conditions. Otherwise, it's a quiet stretch. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.
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.
