Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the line for Beavers.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a real slow spell. The first couple of weeks aren’t offering much that’ll get you out of bed. We’re talkin’ a long gap of mostly small, weak, and messy surf. The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until Monday morning, July 6th, and even then, it’s a marginal call.

That Monday morning, July 6th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell rollin’ in from the SSW with a long period of 16 seconds. That’s a groundswell, but it’s got no push – the combined energy is only 377, which is weak. The wind is a light cross-on from the W at 10 km/h, so the surface will be a bit bumpy. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 63°, which is nice, but the waves themselves are just too small to get excited about. This is a beginner-friendly break, but with that little energy, it’s more of a paddle than a surf.

The week trundles along with similar small stuff. Tuesday afternoon, July 7th, sees a slight bump to 3ft from the SSW with a period of 18 seconds. The wind goes cross-off from the WNW, cleaning things up, but the energy is still moderate at 630. It’s a bit better, but still marginal.

The real stand-out, the only one worth circling on the calendar, comes on Sunday, July 19th. That morning we see a jump in energy – a 4ft swell from the SSE with a period of 15 seconds. The combined energy hits 820, which is moderate. The wind is a slight air from the S, barely a breath, making for a light cross-on that’ll keep things clean. The afternoon holds similar with a 4ft swell and 834 energy. This is the best on offer for the whole 16-day window, but it’s over a week away, so treat it as promising but not yet set in stone. For a beach and reef setup, that long period from the SSE will produce some nice lines, but it’s not huge, so it’s still a fun size for the more experienced crowd.

The rest of the outlook is a write-off. Swell drops back to 2ft and below, energy sinks into the 100s, and the wind is mostly onshore. It’s a real flat patch. Hang in there, keep an eye on that July 19th date, and hope the forecasts firm up.

Rusty.

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.

Beavers is 19 km (12 miles) from Isla Vista. If you plan a vacation in Santa Barbara, look for hotels and other accommodation in Isla Vista. Isla Vista has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
