Beavers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty flat, quiet stretch for the most part. We’re looking at a lot of small, weak surf with the winds all over the shop. The first week is pretty much a write-off, so don’t get your hopes up too early. You’re gonna wanna be patient.

We kick things off with nothing worth paddling out for. Through the 9th to the 14th, the swell stays tiny, around 1ft to 2ft, with periods in the mid-teens. The energy is weak, mostly in the low 100s to low 200s combined reading. The winds are mostly light, but they’ve got an onshore or cross-onshore angle, which just makes it messy and bumpy. It’s not doing anyone any favors. The water temp is 69°, which is a massive 7° warmer than average for this time of year. That’s a real anomaly, so if you do get in, you won’t need much rubber.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the 15th. The swell bumps up a touch, around 3ft, with a period of 16 seconds. The energy is starting to build, with readings in the 341 to 447 range. Light winds from the south-southwest on the morning of the 15th and 16th mean it could be glassy. But look, it’s still marginal. The 16th afternoon gets a bit cross-on, and the 17th gets blown out by a moderate cross-shore breeze from the west-northwest. For a beach and reef setup like Beavers, this isn’t exactly lighting it up.

The middle of the week shows a bit more life. The 18th afternoon has a cross-offshore wind from the northwest at 12 mph, cleaning things up with a 2ft swell. The energy is moderate, at 367. It's a step up, but it’s still small.

Then we get a proper window. The 22nd and 23rd see a new pulse of swell, but it’s coming from the west-northwest with a short period. On the 22nd afternoon it’s 5ft, but the period drops right off to 6 seconds. That’s short-period windswell, not the good stuff. It’ll be lumpy and lack shape. The 23rd morning has a 3ft swell with a 9-second period, still cross-on. It’s not going to be great.

The best of the whole run, and I mean the only real standout, is the morning of the 15th. It’s got a 3ft south-southwest swell with a 16-second period, and the winds are light and offshore. It’s not big, but it’s clean and has some push. It’s a beginner-friendly size, but the long period means it might be a bit straight at the beach break. Still, it’s the pick of the bunch.

After that, the 18th afternoon with the cross-offshore wind is the next best thing, but it’s still only 2ft. The energy is moderate, but the size is lacking.

So, overall, we’ve got a long flat spell, a few marginal days, and then one decent morning on the 15th. There’s a bit of a pulse around the 22nd and 23rd, but the short period kills it. It’s a tough stretch, but the water is warm, and if you’re desperate, the 15th is your day. Keep watching the charts though, because things can change. This is Rusty, signing off.
