Beavers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Beavers has in store for us over the next few weeks. I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is looking pretty quiet. There’s hardly any real surf on offer, and most of the time it’s going to be a bit of a struggle to find anything worth paddling out for. The first real solid opportunity doesn’t show up for a week and a half, so don’t be in a rush.

For the first several days, from Friday the 17th right through to the 24th, there’s nothing doing. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the winds are either onshore or cross-onshore. It’s a flat spell with poor conditions, so leave the board in the car. There’s a long gap with no real recommendations at all.

We finally get a bit of a pulse on Saturday the 25th of July. That morning we see a jump in size to 4 ft from the south, with a moderate energy reading (1105). The wind is a light cross-onshore from the southwest, which isn’t perfect, but it’s light enough that it won’t completely ruin it. This is about as good as it gets in this outlook. The swell direction is from the S, which isn’t the optimum W that Beavers really likes, so it won’t be firing on all cylinders, but there’ll be some rideable waves for a keen beginner. The crowd factor is listed as 'often', so expect company out there.

The 26th drops back a bit to 2 ft from the SW with a very long 19-second period. That kind of period can make a beach-and-reef setup like this a bit wonky – the waves might come in too straight. Keep that in mind. Winds stay light and cross-onshore.

By Monday the 27th, we’re back to 3 ft from the SSW, with the energy still moderate (977). Winds stay light and cross-onshore. It’s pretty marginal.

Then into the end of the month, Wednesday the 29th afternoon shows a weird spike – 6 ft but with a terrible 6-second period from the WNW. That’s basically all chop and no wave face. Not for surfing.

The Standout: If you’re itching for a paddle, Saturday the 25th of July is your best bet. It’s not a classic day, but the 4 ft south swell is the biggest and most consistent window we see. The light breeze will keep the surface decent. Just know it’s a beginner-friendly size so it won’t be charging.

The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Overall, it’s a lean spell. Don’t hold your breath for anything epic before that last week of July.

Rusty.
