The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s happening at Beavers over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, straight up – the first week is a real grind. Through the 15th to the 23rd, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. It’s wave-starved, with small, weak swell and a persistent cross-onshore breeze messing things up. The combined wave energy is mostly in the 200s to 400s range, which is just weak, gutless stuff. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
The first real glimmer of hope comes in the final week. The standout is the morning of Sunday, July 26th. The swell pushes up to 5ft from the S with a period of 14 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a solid 1146, bringing some proper grunt. The wind is light from the WSW, right onshore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s surfable. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a WNW cross-shore, but the swell drops a little.
The next best option is the Monday, July 27th morning. It’s a bit smaller at 3ft from the SSW, but it’s a long-period groundswell (18 seconds) that will have some real push. The energy is still good at 716. The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it’ll be a little bumpy, but it’s the best shape of the run.
Honestly, for the first two weeks, you’re better off checking the cams or doing something else. The 26th morning is the best on offer, and the 27th morning is a solid backup. Keep your expectations low for the rest of it.
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.
