Righto, let’s have a look at what’s comin’ up for Beavers (Beavers-Hazards). It’s a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed to the west, and it’s a beginner-friendly spot that breaks fairly consistently. The water temp is sittin’ at 63° – that’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner suit.

Honestly, the next week or so is pretty flat. We’ve got a real dry spell from now right through until about July 12. There’s just tiny, onshore slop with combined swell energy that barely gets past 200, and the wind’s mostly on it or cross-on, so it’s gonna be poor. Not worth paddlin’ out for.

Things start to stir from Monday July 13. That Monday morning we’ve got a glassy start – proper ‘slight air’ and glassy conditions – with a 3ft swell from the WNW, period a middling 9 seconds. The combined energy is only 248 – weak, but it’s clean. Then Monday afternoon is the first real standout: the swell bumps to 4ft from the WNW, still glassy, and the energy climbs to 363. That’s a moderate energy pulse, and with glassy conditions, those little runners should be fun for beginners and cruisers alike. Best of the whole run, right there.

Tuesday July 14 still has some push – 4ft to 4ft from the WNW – but the wind shifts cross-on, so it’ll get a bit crinkly. Not the crisp quality of Monday afternoon.

Then it fades again. The rest of the second week is mostly small and weakly energetic, with some clean cross-off windows on July 17 and 18, but the swell’s only around 2ft, even if the period’s a decent 17 seconds. That long period groundswell will be better formed but tiny – maybe a knee-high glassy wave for the patient soul.

The one real highlight is Monday July 13 afternoon – get on it if you can. The rest is quiet, with a few little clean windows but nothing to get your heart pumping.

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.
