The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk surf in terms you’re used to.

The next couple of weeks are mostly flat or small, but there is one later window that could deliver for the brave.

Beavers (Beavers-Hazards) is our only spot. It’s a beach and reef setup, beginner friendly, fairly consistent, but expect company – crowds are a regular thing here.

From Tuesday September 8th through Monday September 14th, it’s tiny. Swell heights under 3 ft, mostly from the S and SW. Wind is cross-on or cross, mostly light to gentle, just enough to put a bit of texture on the surface. Wave energy is weak to moderate – in the 200 to 340 range. Not worth suiting up. Water temp is about normal for the time of year.

Tuesday afternoon September 12th shows a little 5 ft swell from the WNW, but the period is short – only 6 seconds. It’s not going to be clean.

Sunday September 13th through Monday September 14th sees some size: up to 5 ft from the WNW on Sunday afternoon, with a clean cross-off wind out of the NW. But again, the period is short at 6 to 9 seconds, and the surf is still marginal. Energy Sunday afternoon is 280 (moderate). Monday morning pushes 510 (moderate to strong energy), but still marginal quality.

The big highlight is Monday afternoon, September 21. We see a solid 8 ft pulse from the WNW, with a 7-second period and light cross-shore wind. The combined energy jumps to 767 (strong wave energy). That size is into advanced territory – beginners should sit this one out. The short period means it might be a bit lumpy at a beach break, but for experienced surfers, this is the one session to target. Light wind and cross-shore is the best you’ll get here.

So if you paddle, you’re waiting until Monday afternoon the 21st. Everything before that is marginal at best, and may be more suited to kiting than surfing.

Stay patient, it’s a long lead-up.

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.

Beavers is 19 km (12 miles) from Isla Vista. If you plan a vacation in Santa Barbara, look for hotels and other accommodation in Isla Vista. Isla Vista has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
