Table - best surf conditions forecast for Beavers over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, breaking down the numbers for the same stretch.
Right off the bat, we’re looking at a long stretch of flat, quiet water for Beavers. Nothing worth talking about until the end of the first week. The first real chance to get wet is Thursday, July 17th.
On that Thursday afternoon, the swell is tiny at 1.3ft from the WNW, but the period is a very long 17 seconds – that’s pure groundswell energy. The wind is glassy, so the surface will be clean. Long period swells can be tricky at a beach-and-reef break, sometimes breaking too straight, but it’s a chance. The combined energy is weak (185).
The best session in the whole forecast rolls around on Sunday morning, July 19th. Swell builds to 3.9ft from the SSE, with a 15-second period, giving moderate energy (835). The wind is light and offshore from the SW, so the morning will be clean. At Beavers, which is beginner-friendly, that 3.9ft is a solid, fun size. It’s the clear standout. Water temp is 63.3°, a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
After that, it’s back to a long, quiet run. The rest of the week and into the 24th offers nothing but small, weak, and mostly cross-onshore conditions. It’s a dry spell, but it happens. Forecasts can shift, but for now, this is a waiting game.

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.
