Table - best surf conditions forecast for Beavers over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
First up, the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a bit of a grind. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, marginal conditions. The first recommendation pops up on Wednesday, July 15, so there’s a gap of a couple of days with nothing to get excited about right now. The waves are just not showing any real love for Beavers.
The only real standout, and I mean the *only* one worth pointing a board at, is Wednesday afternoon, July 15. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the WNW, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate at 303. The wind is offshore from the NW at 12 mph, which will keep things clean. For a beach and reef setup, this is your best shot. It’s not huge, but it’s the most size on offer, and the offshore wind is a major positive. Keep in mind, this spot is fairly consistent, but crowds are often an issue, so don’t expect solitude.
The rest of the period is a write-off. From Thursday, July 16, all the way through to Tuesday, July 28, we’re stuck with waves mostly under 3ft. The swell direction swings around from WNW to SSW, and the periods are all over the place, from 8 seconds up to 19 seconds. That long period stuff (over 15 seconds) can be tricky at a beach and reef break like Beavers, as it tends to straighten out. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore with light breezes, which gives us small, crumbly, poor surf. The combined energy values are all over the place, from 127 to 485, but none of it translates to decent rideable waves. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
There’s a slight uptick in energy values on the 22nd and 23rd of July, with the combined energy hitting 400 and 412, but that’s paired with onshore winds and small swell heights around 3ft. It’s still just marginal. Honestly, for paddle surfing, it’s a tough run. With the persistent small, onshore swell and light winds, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
