The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya.
Alright folks, let's be real. I've looked at the charts for the next 16 days and, well, it's a bit of a flat spell for Beavers. There's a little bump of energy early on, but honestly, it's nothing to write home about.
We start off with some small, long-period swell from the 29th of July through the 31st. Wednesday morning the 29th sees a 2ft swell from the SW with a juicy 16-second period, but it's coming in with a light onshore breeze. The energy is there (471), but the conditions are just marginal. It's a tough call. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama. The crowds are often here, so for a wave this small, it's gonna feel busy.
Thursday and Friday are more of the same, with wave heights around 2ft to 3ft and a light cross-onshore breeze. The wind is just never quite right. By Friday afternoon, the score drops to a zero. It's not looking good.
Then we hit a real slump. From Saturday the 1st of August right through to the 13th, we're looking at poor surf conditions. The swell is small, the wind is generally onshore or cross-onshore, and the combined energy drops way down. For a stretch of about 12 days, there's just nothing worthwhile. The swell from the WNW on the 1st and 2nd is short-period (8-9 seconds) and weak, so don't get your hopes up.
There are a couple of tiny flickers of life around the 10th and 11th of August, with a 1ft to 2ft swell and a very long 20-second period, but the onshore wind kills it. The energy is moderate (272), but the conditions are just marginal at best.
Honestly, the best thing to do is give the board a rest and wax it up for another day. The setup is so weak and the wind so poor that a kite surfer might get a laugh on a few of those afternoons, but for a paddle surfer? Forget it. It's a tough stretch for this spot.
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.
