The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first few days are a bit of a fizzer. We’re looking at a pretty long dry spell with no decent surf recommendations until Sunday the 6th. That’s nearly a week of small, messy, and mostly onshore conditions. The wait is on, but it ain’t all bad.
The real action, and the only standout worth getting excited about, kicks off on Sunday afternoon, September 6th. We’ve got a 5ft SSE swell rolling in with a solid 16-second period – that’s proper groundswell folks. The best part? The wind is going glassy. It’s a rare treat. The combined energy is a solid 952 (moderate), so there’s some grunt in the water. This is the pick of the fortnight. This kind of long-period swell is often best at a point or reef, so keep that in mind for Beavers.
Monday the 7th is also a cracker. The morning starts glassy again with a 5ft SSE swell (959 combined energy), though the period drops a touch to 14 seconds. The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the north. You’ll want to be in the water both days.
The water is running at 70°F, which is a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so don’t expect a winter wetsuit – you’ll be sweating in a spring suit at most.
After that high, the surf fades fast. By Tuesday the 8th, the swell drops to 3ft and the period crashes to 9 seconds – that’s junky, short-period wind swell. The rest of the second week is a write-off with tiny 1ft to 2ft slop and poor conditions. Save your energy for that Sunday and Monday window.
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.
