Table - best surf conditions forecast for Beavers over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, looking over the next couple of weeks for our local stretch.
Honestly, for the first week or so, it’s pretty quiet. Not much to get excited about, and definitely no standout sessions. We’ve got a long run of days where the surf is small and the conditions just aren’t cooperating.
Things start to look a bit more interesting from around July 22nd (Wednesday) onward. We finally see some moderate wave energy building, hitting values in the 500 to 600+ range (moderate combined energy). The swell starts to come from the SSE and S, with heights around 3 ft to 4 ft, and the period gets up to around 14-15 seconds – that’s a decent groundswell, giving the waves some shape and push.
The real standout window looks like Thursday, July 23rd. The water is about average for the time of year at 63°. We’ve got a clean S swell at 4 ft to 4 ft with a period of 14 seconds, which will wrap in nicely. Winds will be light and coming from the SSE to SSW, keeping the surface clean. The combined energy is strong, hitting over 650 (moderate to strong combined energy). This should be the best run of the forecast period, with consistent, shapely waves at Beavers (United States). The direction matches the optimum W swell pretty well, and with the longer period, it’s going to hold up nicely on the bank. Keep in mind, this spot can get crowded often, so get in early.
The days around that will also have some fun, smaller waves, but nothing with the same quality. Thursday the 23rd is the one to mark on the calendar.
So, overall, a slow start, but a promising finish to the outlook. The long-range call for that Thursday is looking like a solid bet.
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.
