Alright folks, Rusty here. We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Beavers. Don’t get your hopes up too high just yet, but there are a couple of moments that might be worth a paddle.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a real struggle. Sunday the 5th and Monday the 6th are offering tiny, weak swell with poor conditions, so you’re better off leaving the board at home. The combined energy is weak (258 to 444), and the wind is just messing things up.
There's a bit of a shift on Tuesday the 7th. The afternoon shows a small bump in swell to 3ft from the SSW, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NW. The wave energy kicks up to a moderate 687, and the 18-second period means there's some proper groundswell in the water. It’s still small, but the clean conditions make it the first real window for a longboard or a funboard.
The standout, and the best bet in this entire outlook, is Thursday the 9th. The afternoon session is looking glassy with a slight air, and the swell picks up to a clean 5ft from the WNW. The combined energy is a solid 558, and with the wind going dead calm, it should be as clean as it gets. This is the one you want to circle on the calendar.
After that, it gets a bit messy again. Friday the 10th through to Sunday the 19th is mostly a bust. Swell drops off, winds turn onshore or cross, and you’ll see a lot of "poor surf conditions." You might get a tiny window on the afternoon of Wednesday the 16th when the swell pushes 5ft again, but it’s from the WNW with a short, weak 8-second period and a cross-shore breeze, so the shape will be sloppy.
Looking further out, Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th see a slight bump back to 3ft from the WNW, but the winds are mostly onshore or cross-on, keeping the quality low. It’s a typical run of small summer surf – you just have to wait for that Thursday glass-off.
Keep your eyes on Thursday 9th July. That’s the one. Get out there if you can.
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.
