The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get the lowdown. We’ve got a stretch of flat, weak surf ahead. The water’s sitting around 69°F at Deveraux Beach (Santa Cruz), which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. The first good look isn’t even on the radar – the next 16 days are pretty much a bust. We’re talking ankle-biters and knee-high slop at best.

The pattern is all over the place – mostly short-period, weak energy swells that never get their act together. The energy readings are low, often in the single digits to the 50s, and even when it bumps up, it’s not enough to do anything with. The wind is mostly cross-off or cross, which keeps the surface clean, but with almost no swell, clean and flat doesn’t help much. You’ll see some glassy moments, like the afternoon of the 24th, but the swell is a joke at 0.7ft.

The only time things look remotely interesting is late in the second week – Thursday the 27th afternoon and Friday the 28th morning. We finally get some real movement: the swell jumps to 4ft and then 4ft, with moderate energy readings around 109 and 155. That’s the most life we see, but it’s still short-period windswell, and the wind is cross-on or cross-off. It’s not going to be epic, but it’ll be the most surfable out of the whole run. Still, I wouldn’t be rushing out for it unless you’re desperate for a paddle. There’s a brief window there, but it’s more of a “might be worth a look” than a standout. Honestly, for this entire period, there’s nothing that’s going to get your heart racing. Keep the board in the car, but don't hold your breath. This is one of those flat spells that just seems to go on and on.

Information about the Deveraux Beach Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Deveraux Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Deveraux Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Deveraux Beach 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 (Deveraux Beach) 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 Deveraux Beach 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.
