The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here, in feet and degrees Fahrenheit.

It’s a quiet stretch at Beavers. This is a beginner-friendly beach and reef break, fairly consistent, but the conditions over the next couple of weeks are mostly ho-hum. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is a solid 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s noticeably warm, so leave the thick wetsuit at home.

The outlook starts with nothing really worth paddling out for. Sunday the 6th through to Tuesday the 10th of September are all marginal, with tiny swell under 3 feet. The best of that early stretch is Sunday afternoon with a clean 3-foot south swell, a light offshore wind from the SSW at 5 km/h, and moderate wave energy (514). That’s about as good as it gets in the first week, but it’s still small and average.

Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th see a long-period SW groundswell (17 seconds) but it’s tiny – just 1 to 2 feet. The energy is moderate (387 to 478), but the size just isn’t there. The cleanest window is Thursday afternoon with a cross-off NW breeze at 20 km/h, but you’re still looking at knee-high waves.

Friday the 11th is similar with a 2-foot SSW swell, 15-second period, and clean conditions in the afternoon. Still nothing to get excited about.

Then we get a little spike. Saturday the 12th of September afternoon sees a 8-foot WNW swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds – windswell, really. The energy is strong (617), but that short period means it’ll be lumpy and won’t hold shape well. The NW wind is cross-off and clean at 20 km/h, so it’ll look tidy, but for a spot like Beavers, that kind of short-period swell tends to close out. It’s more interesting for the kite crew than paddle surfers. This is the only real standout in the whole 16 days, but it’s not a classic.

After that, Sunday the 13th through Tuesday the 15th drop back to 3 to 5 feet, with periods around 6 to 9 seconds. Energy is moderate (360 to 533), but the winds are mostly cross-on or onshore. Not great.

From Wednesday the 16th of September all the way through to Monday the 21st of September, it’s a long stretch of poor surf. Swell drops to 1 to 2 feet, mostly from the SW or SSW with long periods (15 to 19 seconds), but the size is just too small to do anything. Winds are light and mostly onshore or cross-on. This is a real blank run – over a week of virtually nothing rideable.

Overall, if you’re desperate, the best bet is the afternoon of Saturday the 12th of September. You’ll get the biggest waves of the window, but be ready for a short-period, messy affair. For everything else, it’s a waiting game.

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.
