The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Beavers. The next couple weeks are looking pretty flat and weak. We’ve got a bit of long-period SW groundswell coming in, but it’s small and the quality’s just not there. Water’s way warmer than normal – 68°F, that’s over 5 degrees above average, which is unusual. But don’t get excited, the surf’s not worth the drive.
Starting Sunday the 26th afternoon, we’ve got a 2ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period, cross-shore wind from the WNW at 6 mph. Combined energy is moderate (483), but the forecast calls it marginal – tide or something’s off. Monday morning the 27th bumps up to 3ft from the SSW, still 18 seconds, but wind goes cross-on. Still marginal. Monday afternoon drops back to 2ft. Tuesday the 28th stays around 3ft, same story. Wednesday the 29th sees a tiny 2ft, then 3ft from the SSE with 15 seconds – still marginal. Thursday the 30th morning has 2ft, offshore wind from SSW at 3 mph, but the wave comment says marginal. Honestly, nothing pops. The best of a poor bunch is maybe Monday morning the 27th with 3ft and a long period, but the wind’s cross-on and the score’s low.
After that, the swell shrinks. From Friday the 31st onward, we’re into 3ft or less, periods dropping into the 13-second range, and the comments go to “poor surf conditions”. By Sunday the 2nd of August, the swell switches to a short-period 8-second WNW windswell at 3ft – combined energy drops to 241 (weak). The rest of the first week of August is a sad run of 1.0ft to 2ft, with periods all over the place, and the energy barely hits 100. Even the long-period swell on the 6th of August (21 seconds) is only 1.0ft – not enough to bother with. The last few days, the 8th to the 10th, show a tiny uptick to 2ft-2ft from the south, but still poor.
So there’s no standout day. The whole 16-day window is a dud. Beavers is a fairly consistent break, but when the swell is this weak and the direction is off (optimum is W, we’re getting SW/SSW/S), you’re not missing much. If you’re desperate, maybe sneak out Monday morning the 27th for a longboard session, but don’t expect much. The water’s warm, the waves are not. I’d wait for a better forecast.

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.
