Explicit asymptotical formulas for wave beams in a strongly nonlinear and weakly inhomogeneous three-dimensional medium with saturated nonlinearity are obtained. These formulas describe the evolution of these beams. Two methods for determination of the axial line of the beam are found: the Cauchy problem method and a variational principle which contains the total beam intensity as a parameter.
