The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I'm lookin' at what's on the cards for Beavers here. Let's be straight with each other – this stretch ain't lookin' like a classic. We've got a long run of marginal to poor conditions, so don't be expectin' to score any epic waves without a bit of patience. The water temp's about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothin' wild there.
The best of a pretty average bunch is shaping up for Friday, the 24th of July. It's not a world-beater, but it's the closest we're gettin' to a standout. Mornin' will see a touch of groundswell, a 2ft swell from the SSW with a very long period of 24 seconds – that's got some serious energy behind it (700). The wind is light onshore, but that long period groundswell is better suited for a point or reef than a beach-and-reef setup like Beavers, where it can break a bit straight. The wave energy is moderate (700). Still, with a 2/10 potential, it's the only moment that's anywhere near worth a look.
The run-up to that is average. Wednesday the 22nd has a 6ft Westerly swell in the arvo, but it's a short-period 6-second windswell, and while the wind is clean, the size is over 5ft, so it's a bit much for beginners. Thursday the 23rd is a similar story – small and messy.
After that Friday, things take a real dive. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are poor, with small weak swells and cross-onshore winds. The entire first week of August is the same story: poor surf, small waves, and nothin' worth paddlin' out for. Monday the 3rd of August sees a 3ft WNW swell, but with a 7-second period and a cross-offshore wind, it's just a weak, choppy mess. The energy is low (119). We're lookin' at a gap of several days with no decent recommendations at all.
Look, if you're desperate for a paddle, Friday morning the 24th of July is your best shot. But keep your expectations at ground level – this is a quiet spell for Beavers.
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.
