The Lowdown

Righto folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Beavers.

Straight up, it’s a pretty quiet run ahead. We’re lookin’ at a good stretch of small, weak swell and mostly underwhelmin’ conditions. The first few days, from Monday the 10th through to Friday the 14th of August, are pretty much a write-off with poor surf and barely any energy in the water. The water temp is a whopping 69°F – that’s 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a real head-scratcher for sure, but not much use when there’s no waves.

The combined swell energy is weak to moderate at best, hoverin’ between 145 and 311 (moderate wave energy) but the wave quality is just not there. We get a tiny uptick into the weekend of the 15th and 16th, with swell heights touchin’ 2ft to 3ft from the SSW, periods around 16 seconds – that’s a bit of groundswell. The combined energy bumps up a notch to 285-340 (moderate wave energy). Wind stays light and cross-onshore, which keeps it messy. The waves might just be rideable, but it’s marginal, and there’s often a crowd here.

Around Monday the 17th, we get a shift with a cross-offshore wind from the NW at 12 mph which cleans things up nicely, but the swell stays tiny at 2ft from the SSW. That northwesterly wind is pretty good for Beavers, but the lack of size holds it back. That’s probably the best on offer for a stand-out window – clean conditions on a small day.

The rest of the run into late August stays small, with waves rarely gettin’ over 2ft and combined energy droppin’ right off to as low as 95 (weak) by the 23rd. There’s a few afternoons with clean-ish cross-offshore or light wind, but honestly, there’s no punch.

If you’re a paddle surfer, there’s just not much to get excited about. The setup here is beach and reef, but with these tiny, weak swells and the cleanest days only offerin’ small waves, you might be better off thinkin’ of it for a kite if the wind picks up. Overall, it’s a lean 16 days.

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.
