Beavers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Beavers.

Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this is a tough stretch. For the next week and a half, the surf is pretty marginal. The energy is mostly weak to moderate (combined swell energy in the 200s and 300s), and the swell heights are hovering around 2ft to 4ft, which is small. The wind is often cross or cross-onshore, which messes with the shape. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.

The first real standout doesn’t come until Thursday, 3rd September. That morning, we’ve got a nice 4ft swell from the south with a 13-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a solid 560 (moderate). The wind is glassy, so the surface will be clean and smooth. That’s the best window of the whole outlook. The swell direction is from the south, which is a bit off the optimum (west), but with glassy conditions and decent size, it’s worth a paddle.

Then on Friday, 4th September, another glassy morning with a 2ft, 17-second groundswell from the south-southwest. That’s a long period, so it’ll have good shape and power for its size, and the combined energy is 421 (moderate). The sets will be spaced out, but it’ll be clean. After that, things drop off again into small, poor surf through the second week.

Honestly, the rest of the days are mostly poor or marginal—small swell, cross-shore wind, and not much juice. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations. If you’re a beginner, the small stuff on 3rd September morning is fine, but 4ft is about the limit. The 17-second swell on the 4th is better for intermediate or above.

So, to sum it up: the best bet is Thursday, 3rd September morning, with glassy 4ft south swell and a shot of clean energy. Friday, 4th September morning is a close second with that long-period groundswell. Otherwise, it’s a skunked run for the most part.
