Beavers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's see what we got for the next couple of weeks at Beavers.

To be straight with you, the next week and a half is lookin' pretty flat and sad. We’ve got a whole lot of nothing happening from now until around Friday, August 14th. The swell is tiny – we're talkin' 1 to 2 feet, and mostly from the SSW. Sure, there's some long-period energy in the water, those 15 to 18-second intervals, but it's just got no power behind it. The combined energy is weak to moderate at best (values of 140-236), but every single session is rated as "poor surf conditions." It's just not gonna be worth paddling out.

The water temperature is sittin' around 69°, which is a good 7° warmer than average for this time of year – that's really unusual, almost like a warm bath out there. But, you can't surf on warm water alone.

Now, Friday morning, August 14th, things get a tiny bit interesting. We finally get a window of glassy conditions with winds swingin' light and variable from the S at 3 mph. The swell is still tiny at 2 feet from the SW, but it's surfable. The combined energy picks up to 210 (moderate). It’s the first real chance to get wet and catch a few knee-to-waist high dribblers at Beavers. It's not gonna be a classic, but it's the best we've seen all week.

The next little flicker of hope comes Sunday, August 16th. The swell bumps up a notch to 3 feet from the SW with a moderate 376 combined energy. The afternoon sees a clean cross-off wind from the WNW at 12 mph. Still marginal, but you could find a clean little wave if you're patient. Beavers is fairly consistent and can get crowded on the 'often' side, so don't expect to have it to yourself.

Then we hit a weird little period on Monday and Tuesday, August 17th and 18th. We get a pulse of short-period, weak swell from the WNW, only 6 seconds! It's 4 to 6 feet, but that's a messy, choppy windswell. The wind is howlin' cross-shore at 10-12 mph. Honestly, this looks more like a kite-surfing setup than a surf session. The energy is moderate (values around 272-379), but the quality is just not there for a paddle surfer.

After that, it fades right back to those same old tiny, weak, SSW swells for the rest of the outlook. August 19th to the 23rd is more of the same – small, weak, and pretty ordinary. The only standout, if you can call it that, is Sunday, August 23rd, when we might see a 3 to 4 foot swell from the W. The wind is light cross-on in the morning and moderate cross in the afternoon. Still a marginal call. If you're desperate, it's worth a look, but keep your expectations on the floor.

Honestly, for this stretch, if you're chasin' a wave, Friday morning, August 14th, is your best and only real bet for a clean, glassy surf. After that, it's a long wait for anything decent.
