Table - best surf conditions forecast for Xa over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Xa.
First thing you gotta know, the water is sitting right around average for this time of year, so nothing freaky there.
To be honest, for the next few days, it’s a bit of a grind. The surf is there, but it’s mostly an east-southeast windswell with a bit of energy, though the conditions are constantly getting messed up. The first real window to get excited about is Wednesday morning the 9th. The swell settles to 4ft from the southeast at a decent 11 seconds, and with a light cross-offshore breeze, it should be clean. That’s your best call in the early stretch – a real chance to score some fun, lined-up waves at Xa before the afternoon chop ruins it.
We hit a rough patch from the 10th through the 12th, with onshore winds and choppy seas, nothing worth paddling out for. Then Monday morning the 13th is a standout. Super clean, light offshore wind, and a wave height of 3ft from the SSE with a 12-second period. The combined energy is a solid 539 (moderate), and it will be glassy and organized. That’s the pick of the first week. Get out there early.
Don’t get too excited for the days after; we get a mix of small, weak, and wind-plagued surf. A couple of those mornings look okay, but it’s not consistent.
Now, the real meat on the bone shows up way out there. On Tuesday the 21st of July, the swell jumps to 6ft from the SE, period at 11 seconds, and the energy reading is a big 858 (strong). Morning sees a light cross-offshore breeze and very clean conditions. This is heavy, powerful reef swell, so this is only for the advanced crew. The next morning, Wednesday the 22nd, is even more special. It’s glassy, the swell is 6ft from the ESE, and the energy is 704 (strong). Absolutely firing conditions for experienced surfers.
If you’re a beginner, steer clear of those bigger days. Anything over 5ft starts getting tricky, and that late-July pulse is too much.
For that second week, keep an eye on the 21st and 22nd. It’s a long-range call, so don’t book the trip yet, but if that forecast holds, Xa is going to be pumping.
Stay salty.

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