Beavers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Beavers.

First off, we’ve got a stretch of pretty small, clean surf to kick things off, but nothing that’s going to get the heart racing. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The week starts on Tuesday the 28th with a small 3ft SW groundswell. The period is a long 17 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (565). The wind is light and offshore from the SSW in the morning, so it’ll be glassy. But with the tide and swell size, it’s a marginal one. The afternoon sees the wind swing cross-shore, staying light. Still small at 3ft.

Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th are similar stories – tiny 2ft to 2ft swells, long periods, and light offshore winds in the mornings. The energy stays moderate (around 400-500). The afternoons get a light cross-onshore breeze which messes with the surface a bit. Honestly, it’s a suffer-fest on a foamie for the absolute beginner, but not much else.

Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August follow the same pattern: 2ft to 3ft, long-period S/SSE swell, light offshore or cross-shore winds. The energy is dropping a bit (300-400 range). The quality is still marginal.

Now, Sunday the 2nd of August brings a change. We see a 4ft WNW swell with a short period of 9 seconds. The wind is light cross-shore all day. The energy is moderate (275 in the morning, 385 in the afternoon). This is a short-period, windswell-type wave, so it won’t have the same grunt as the long-period stuff. It’s still a marginal call, but the size is a bit more promising for a beginner on a small board.

From Monday the 3rd of August onwards, things get pretty grim. The swell drops to 3ft and then shrinks to 1.0ft by the 6th. The energy falls off a cliff, dipping into the double digits (92) and staying weak. The wind stays light, mostly offshore, but the surf is just flat or tiny. The whole second week is a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. The period on the 10th of August spikes to 20 seconds, but with only 1.0ft of swell, it’s a non-event.

So, the best on offer is probably the Sunday the 2nd of August morning. The swell is 4ft with a clean cross-shore wind. It’s not pretty, but it’s the biggest wave of the whole outlook. The crowds are likely to be around at Beavers, though, since it’s a consistent spot.

For nearly two weeks after that, from the 3rd of August onwards, it’s a flat spell. The combined energy drops to weak for most of it. Not much to get excited about, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.
