The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again, swapping over for the imperial crew.

We’ve got a pretty quiet run ahead. Don’t get your hopes up for any big days in the next 16. The water at Beavers is sitting at 69°, which is about 6° warmer than usual – that’s a big deal, feels like a warm spell.

Starting Saturday the 1st, it’s all small and weak. Swell is under 3ft, mostly from the WNW or SW, with periods around 8 to 9 seconds – not much power there. Combined energy is low, mostly under 250 (moderate at best). Winds are light but cross-onshore or onshore, so nothing is cleaning up. You’ll just see small ripples and some chop.

Even on Sunday the 2nd, when the swell hits about 3ft, the wind is onshore. First week is a total bust.

The only real hope comes around Thursday the 14th. A long-period swell from the SSW shows up with periods hitting 18 seconds, and combined energy climbs past 380 (moderate). Swell is still small, only about 2ft, but that long period means proper groundswell energy. Winds are light and cross-onshore, so it could be worth a look for the patient surfer. It’s a beginner-friendly beach and reef setup, so long-period swells might break a bit straight, but the light wind could make it workable.

The 15th and 16th stay marginal, and by Sunday the 16th the wind picks up to a gentle breeze with cross-onshore, getting choppy again. Keep an eye on that Thursday the 14th.

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.
