The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with only small, marginal waves. The first real chance to get wet kicks off Monday, July 27th, but don’t get your hopes up too high. The water is sitting at a very unusual 69° — that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a weird little bonus.
The only spot on the radar is Beavers. Monday morning, July 27th, we’ve got a 3ft swell from the SSW, but it’s wrapping in with a cross-on breeze from the SW. That period is a long 18 seconds, which means it’s proper groundswell, but it’s just not got the energy to push through cleanly here. The combined energy is weak (734) and the forecast calls it marginal. The wind is light, which is nice, but it’s on the wrong side to make this place shine. The afternoon flattens out even more to 2ft.
Tuesday, July 28th, is more of the same: tiny 3ft to 3ft swells, light cross-on winds, and still marginal. The energy stays weak (568-683). For a beginner-friendly spot like Beavers, these waves are small and a bit messy, but not impossible for a learner on a soft top. The crowds are often here, so you might have some company for the tiny lumps.
From Wednesday, July 29th, through the end of the first week and into the start of August, it’s a real drought. The swell drops, the periods get shorter, and the scores are all poor. We’re looking at 2ft to 3ft of weak, short-period windswell, mostly onshore or cross-on. There’s a brief glimmer on Sunday, August 2nd, with a 4ft WNW swell, but the period is a short 9 seconds and the wind is onshore. It’s a write-off.
Then from Monday, August 3rd, right through to the end of the forecast on August 11th, we’re in a flat spell. The swell heights are mostly under 2ft, the energy is negligible (down to 51), and the conditions are poor. There’s no standout, no hidden gem, and definitely no reason to stress about getting a board wet.
If you’re a kitesurfer, the light onshore breezes and small chop might offer something, but for paddle surfing, this is a two-week stretch of very little to work with.
Stay patient, and check back with me. Forecasts can change.
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.
