The Lowdown

Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer.

To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking pretty quiet. There’s nothing really firing, and you’ll be waiting a fair while for anything worth paddling out for. The first real sniff of a wave shows up on the morning of Thursday, 31 July, but it’s only marginal. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the SSE with a long 12-second period, which could give a bit of shape, but the wind is onshore. It’s not great, and the combined energy of all swells directed here is 320 — that’s moderate energy, but it’s not translating into quality.

The real story here is the water temperature. At Beavers (Big Island), it’s 68°F, and that’s a whopping 5°F above the long-term average for this time of year. That’s way warmer than usual, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.

The surf stays small and messy through the rest of the week. On Saturday morning, 1 August, we get a 3ft swell from the WNW, but the period is a short 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore. Combined energy drops to 190 (weak). It’s just not doing anything for us. Sunday morning, 2 August, sees a 4ft WNW swell with a 9-second period, but again, the wind is onshore, and the comment is “marginal” — it’s a no-go.

Honestly, there’s a long gap here. From Thursday 31 July right through to the end of the forecast on Friday 14 August, every single session is rated as poor or marginal. The swell heights range from 1ft to 4ft, but the wind is never right. Most of the time it’s cross-onshore or onshore, and the period is all over the place — some long-period groundswells (15–20 seconds) show up, but they’re hitting with tiny height and wrong wind.

There’s no standout. Nothing to get excited about. If you’re a beginner, the 4ft on Sunday 2 August is the biggest, but with onshore wind and short period, it’s a sloppy, lumpy mess. For the more experienced, the long-period swells (like 19 seconds on Friday 7 August) are too small to do anything with, and they’d be breaking straight at the beach anyway.

The only hint of anything decent is on Thursday 13 August afternoon, when the combined energy hits 272 (moderate) with a 2ft SSW swell and 16-second period, but the wind is still cross-onshore. It’s marginal, and that’s the best of a bad bunch.

Beavers is a beach and reef setup, and it’s fairly consistent, but it’s not breaking. The crowds are often, but with surf this poor, you won’t have to worry about that. This is a stretch of flat, close-to-nothing conditions. It’s a quiet period.

Alright, stay patient. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.

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.
