The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s check out what Beavers has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

It’s a pretty scratchy outlook for the most part, with a lot of small, iffy surf. But there are a couple of sessions that might make it worth dragging the board out. The water is sitting at 68°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – a real bonus, feels like a late summer holdover.

We start on Saturday, September 5th with a small, so-so swell. The afternoon has a 2ft swell from the SSW, but the wind is a cross-on from the WSW at 6 mph, putting a little bump on the surface. The combined swell energy is weak (474). It’s marginal, but you could get a few.

Sunday, September 6th looks a bit better. The morning brings a 3ft swell from the SSE with a light offshore wind from the SSW at 6 mph. That’s a clean look, and with a 14-second period, there’s some proper groundswell energy, even if it’s small. The afternoon stays clean too, with a 3ft swell from the S and a glassy 3 mph SW wind. Combined energy is a moderate 534. This is the best window of the first week – small but clean.

Monday, September 7th continues the trend. Morning offshore winds (SSW, 6 mph) with a 4ft S swell (13-second period, moderate energy at 471). Conditions are clean, but the swell is still in the beginner-friendly range. The afternoon gets a bit lumpy as the wind swings cross-on.

From Tuesday, September 8th through the rest of the first week, it’s a downward slide. Swell drops to 2ft to 2ft, and the wind is mostly cross-on or light. The energy drops into the 200s. It’s poor surf, lads. Not much to get excited about.

There’s a shift around Saturday, September 12th. The afternoon brings a 6ft swell from the WNW, but with a short 6-second period and a cross wind of 12 mph, it’s going to be a messy, wind-affected mess. The combined energy is moderate (332), but the quality is poor. This is more kite-surfing territory than a clean paddle session.

The following week, from September 13th onward, we see a persistent pattern of small to moderate WNW swell, mostly in the 3ft to 6ft range. The periods are short (6-8 seconds), so these are windswells, not groundswells. The wind remains a constant cross-on or light, which keeps the surface from getting totally blown out, but it’s not going to be glassy. The energy is moderate, ranging from 236 to 454.

The standout is definitely the Sunday, September 6th window. It’s not pumping, but the combination of offshore wind, decent period, and clean conditions makes it the pick of the bunch. After that, it’s a waiting game for the rest of the fortnight. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a thin run.

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.
