The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s keep it real – the next 16 days are lean times at Beavers. This is a beginner-friendly beach and reef break that’s fairly consistent, but the conditions are just not coming together. We’ve got a long stretch of marginal, mostly unsurfable weather. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 69°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit while you wait.

The first hint of anything rideable shows up Thursday afternoon, 23 July. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the WNW with a short, fat 6-second period and combined energy of 451. The wind is a cross-off from the NW at 9 mph, which should keep the surface clean enough, but that period is killing the shape. It’s marginal.

Friday the 24th through to Wednesday the 30th of July is flat. The swell drops to 1ft to 3ft with OK wind but tiny, gutless waves. The energy numbers are decent in the 300–600 range, but the heights just aren’t there. You’re looking at long-period swells (17–24 seconds) that would work on a point break, but here at a beach and reef, they’ll most likely break too straight and close out. Don’t bother.

The best chance of the whole period runs from Thursday, 31 July through to Sunday morning, 3 August. On the 31st, we get a 4ft SSE swell with a 14-second period, and light, clean offshore SSW winds. It’s still marginal, but it’s the pick. Then Saturday, 1 August pushes a 4ft swell from the S at 14 seconds with light offshore winds on the morning session. That’s the biggest swell of the run and with the wind glassy and from the south-southwest, it could be clean. Nothing special, but that Saturday morning is your best bet.

From Sunday afternoon, 3 August, it fades fast. Swell drops, period drops under 10 seconds, and the energy craters to 268 and lower. The last week is just poor surf conditions with tiny 1ft to 2ft slop and onshore winds. Not worth the drive.

Honestly, this is a blank window. The setup looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle on anything after that first few days of August because the wind stays light and cross-shore. Hang tight – forecasts can change, but this one’s a dud for now.

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.
