The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour, because that’s how we measure things when we’re not being fancy.

So, Beavers. It’s looking pretty quiet. The first few days from Friday, July 31st, are all small and messy. The first morning has a 2ft S swell, but the wind is onshore, and the combined energy is 320 (moderate). It’s marginal. Then the weekend and into the start of August are poor – small waves, cross-on winds, and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions” everywhere. There’s a gap of about four to five days with nothing worth paddling for.

The one glimmer of hope comes in the second week. On Wednesday, August 12th, the morning shows a 2ft SW swell with a very long period of 18 seconds, and the combined energy hits 216 (moderate). The wind is light and onshore, so it’s clean. By the afternoon, it’s 2ft SSW swell, still a long 17 seconds, and energy at 309 (moderate). That’s your best chance. Beavers is a beach and reef setup, so that long period groundswell could work on the reef, but the beach might be a bit straight. The optimum swell direction is W, and we’re getting SSW, so it’s close enough to get a few decent ones.

The next morning, August 13th, is similar – 2ft SSW swell, 16-second period, energy 295 (moderate), light winds. Still marginal, but it’s the best on offer.

The rest of the 16 days is small, weak, and mostly onshore. A few days around the 14th and 15th have a bit more energy (up to 338 – moderate), but the swell is short period (8 seconds) and not well aligned. Not worth driving for.

Crowds at Beavers are often, so even on these small days, you’ll have company. Water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing weird.

So, bottom line: first week is flat. Second week has a couple of marginal days mid-week, especially the 12th and 13th of August. Don’t get too excited, but it’s the only show in town.

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.
