The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's chew the fat on what's cookin' at Beavers.
Right from the get-go, this is a slow starter. The water's at 64°, which is just a touch warmer than average for this time of year. For the first part of the week, we're looking at tiny, weak waves. The combined swell energy is barely 120 (low energy) at the start. There's a bit of a run-up starting July 16th, with the swell hitting 4ft from the WNW, but it's got a short period of 8 seconds and a cross-shore breeze that'll mess with the shape. The energy gets up to a moderate 578 by Thursday afternoon, but the conditions are still marginal. It's not really worth paddling out for.
The gap in proper action stretches on. We see some long-period groundswell from the SW, with periods up to 18 seconds, but the wave heights stay tiny, between 1ft and 2ft. The energy fluctuates, hitting a moderate 546 on Sunday the 19th, but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping the surf quality poor. It's a real drag.
Honestly, the standout window is the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. That's the one to circle. The swell is set to climb to 5ft from the S, with a solid 15-second period, cranking the combined energy up to 1607 (strong wave energy). The wind is a light cross-onshore breeze, which will keep things relatively clean. At 5ft, it's borderline for beginners, but it's the best size we see in the whole outlook. The crowd is marked as "often" here, so expect some company. For the rest of the second week, it fades back into smaller, inconsistent pulses with only marginal conditions, so don't get your hopes up for the tail end.

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.
