Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Beavers has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the outlook is pretty flat and quiet for most of the run. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf with energy levels mostly hanging in the low hundreds – think (271) to (363) range for most days – so don’t expect any real punch. The first real opportunity doesn’t show up until Monday the 6th of July, when we start seeing some slightly more hopeful signs.

The standout – and I mean the only real standout in this whole 16-day window – is Thursday the 9th of July. We’ll see a 3ft swell rolling in from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds, which is short but it’s something. The combined energy hits (436) for the morning and (417) in the afternoon, which is moderate. The wind is light and variable – morning has a light offshore breeze from the SW, and the afternoon has a slight air from the W with cross conditions. That’ll keep things clean enough, especially for a beginner-friendly spot like this. Beavers is a beach and reef setup, fairly consistent, but the crowds are often there, so don’t expect to have it to yourself. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.

Before that, from Friday the 3rd through Sunday the 5th, we’re looking at tiny 1ft to 2ft swells from the SSW and SW with poor surf conditions – not worth paddling out for.

After the 9th, it drops right back down. From the 10th to the 18th of July, we’re back into marginal, poor-quality surf. Swell heights bounce between 1ft and 4ft, but the periods get short again (8 to 9 seconds) and the winds turn cross-on or onshore. The energy levels drop into the low 100s and 200s, like (141) or (192). It’s basically a stretch of flat, weak days.

So, bottom line: if you’re desperate, the morning of Thursday the 9th is your best bet for a small but potentially fun session. The rest of the period is a write-off for paddle surfing. Given how inconsistent the forecast is, it’s a pretty normal quiet spell for this area. Things can change, but right now, don’t hold your breath.

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.
