The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk feet and degrees. Honestly, the forecast for Beavers starts off flat as a pancake. There’s some action waiting further down the road, but the first week is mostly a struggle.
Monday 7th is messy. You get a 4ft south swell, 12-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore, chopping it up. Water temp is 69°, which is nearly 3° warmer than normal – very unusual. Combined energy reads moderate at 392.
Tuesday 8th and Wednesday 9th are trash. Tiny waves, bad wind. Save your energy.
Thursday 10th afternoon gives you a clean window. Swell is only 2ft from the south-west, but a light cross-offshore breeze from the north-west cleans it right up. It’s small, but it’s the first real chance.
Friday 11th afternoon is the same story – tiny but clean.
Saturday 12th afternoon brings 5ft from west-north-west, short period, but clean enough. It’s not great, but it’s rideable.
Sunday 13th afternoon is the first standout. 6ft from west-north-west, cross-offshore wind, clean conditions. Combined energy hits 414. This is a proper session for the first week.
Then it dries up. From Wednesday 16th through Friday 18th morning, there’s nothing. A solid three-day gap with no recommendations.
Friday 18th afternoon is clean but only 1ft – pointless.
Saturday 19th morning offers a clean, glassy 2ft swell from the south-west with a long 18-second period. If you’re on a longboard, it could be fun.
Sunday 20th afternoon is the big winner. Swell hits 8ft from west-north-west, 7-second period, but the wind is flat glass. Combined energy is strong at 839. This will be big, clean, and punchy. Not for beginners – this is for experienced surfers only. And with “often” crowds, it’ll be busy.
After that, Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd fade fast back to tiny, marginal surf.
The one to mark on the calendar is Sunday 20th afternoon – glassy, 8ft waves at Beavers. That’s the real deal. Sunday 13th afternoon with 6ft and clean wind is your second-best shout.

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.
