After recurvature Beverley crossed the coast near Learmonth as a degenerating system. It maintained its identity while travelling southsoutheastward bringing substantial rains to the Gascoyne's and Southwest division. Eventually the low pressure system which had been tropical cyclone Beverley crossed into the Southern Ocean and amalgamated with a southern cold front.
