The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this stretch of coast is looking pretty flat and quiet for the next couple of weeks. The waves are small, the energy is weak, and you’re going to have to pick your moments if you want a wave. There’s no real swell on the horizon, so we’re talking about a long, drawn-out lull. The first few days are essentially a write-off, with nothing ridable. We’re looking at a gap of about four days before things even get close to being interesting.

The action, if you can call it that, starts to pick up slightly on Saturday the 15th. The swell bumps up to a mere 2.3ft from the SSW, with a period of 16 seconds. It’s a long-period groundswell, which is good for shape, but there’s just not enough size. The energy is still weak, around 346 (moderate at the low end), and the wind is light and cross-onshore, so it’s not going to be glassy. It’s marginal at best, and only for the most patient of souls. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The outlook doesn’t improve much into the following week. The 18th sees a bit of a pulse, but it’s a messy one. The morning has a 3.3ft swell from the WNW, but the period drops to a short 8 seconds, which means weak, crumbly waves. The afternoon jumps up to 4.9ft, but the period drops even further to 6 seconds—that’s pure windswell, and with a cross-shore breeze, it’s going to be a bumpy, choppy mess. The energy is still only moderate (361), and to be honest, this setup looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for paddle surfers. The break, Beavers (Ventura), is a beach and reef setup, and with that onshore wind and short-period junk, it’s not going to have any shape.

Beyond that, it’s a return to the small, weak stuff. The 19th and 20th bring back 2ft SSW swells, but the periods are inconsistent, and the wind is light onshore. It’s just not doing anything. The rest of the second week is more of the same—tiny waves, 1ft to 1.3ft, with long periods but no power. The 22nd has a bit of a longer period (21 seconds) but the swell is only 1ft, so it’s not breaking. The wind picks up to a moderate cross-shore that day, which will just add chop.

Honestly, there’s no standout session in this entire 16-day window. The only thing even close to a highlight is that Saturday the 15th, but even then, it’s a “maybe get a couple of grovelers” kind of day. The rest is a flat spell. Keep the board in the car, but don’t get your hopes up. Forecasts can change, but this one looks locked in for a while.

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.
