The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' down at Beavers.

Honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell we're looking at for the next couple of weeks. The surf is gonna be pretty scarce and mostly on the small side. We’ve got a long gap of poor conditions stretching from now all the way through until the weekend after next. For a fairly consistent spot like Beavers, that's a dry run.

Things are looking a little grim. The first real chance of anything getting close to rideable is on Sunday the 20th of September. Even then, it’s marginal. The morning of the 20th shows a tiny 2ft swell from the SW with a long 18-second period from a groundswell, and the energy is building to 377 (moderate). It's tiny, but the wind is light and cross-on. The afternoon is the better half of that day: the swell picks up a touch to 5ft from the WNW, period drops to a short 8 seconds, but the wind shifts to a clean, cross-off shore from the NW, and the energy jumps to 464 (moderate). It’s the only window in the whole outlook that looks clean, and while the swell isn’t great, it’s the best on offer by a long shot.

For beginners, 5ft is at the upper edge of manageable. The short period (8 seconds) means the waves won’t have much punch.

Then we roll into the new week. Monday the 21st has some clean afternoon conditions again with cross-off NW winds, but the swell drops right back to 2ft with moderate energy (381). Not worth getting wet for unless you're desperate. After that, it’s back to poor surf with tiny 2ft to 2ft swells right through to the end of the forecast on the 27th.

The one standout in the whole 16-day window is that Sunday afternoon, September 20th, at Beavers. It’s not a classic, but if you’re hankering for a paddle, that’s your window. Keep your expectations low, and you might snag a couple of clean, little ones.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
