The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch gears for the imperial-speaking crew. Rusty here. Lookin’ at Xa, and I gotta tell ya, it’s a rough patch. We’re talkin’ a solid two weeks where the wind is just off and the conditions are a mess. There’s hardly a good window, but we’ll find the best of the worst.
The first real chance to paddle out comes Monday, the 10th of August. Xa is a reef break, strictly for advanced surfers, and it’s very consistent. The morning of the 10th brings a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW with a 4ft swell from the ENE, period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (158). The conditions are clean, but the energy is just not there. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The water temp is about average for the time of year. The next morning, Tuesday the 11th, is a similar story – a tiny 3ft ENE swell, same short period, with a clean cross-offshore wind. Energy drops right off (83). It’s just ankle to knee-high.
Now, the real highlight is Thursday, the 13th of August. This is the best we’ve got. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze from the SW, and a small but long-period swell from the S. Height is only 2ft, but the period is a solid 13 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is moderate (284). That long period will make for super clean, lined-up waves on the reef, even if it’s small. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might see a few others, but it’s worth it.
After that, the second week is all onshore junk. The 16th of August Sunday afternoon sees a 6ft swell from the ESE, but it’s directly onshore from the E, with a short 8-second period, and a high combined energy of 792 (strong wave energy). That’s a lot of power, but it’s gonna be a complete mess – blown out, lumpy, and unrideable for a paddle surfer. That setup is more interesting for kite surfing than a regular board. The 17th of August Monday is the same – 6ft ESE swell, onshore wind, energy still strong (691). Just a constant wall of chop.
The long-range swell on the 13th is the only real standout, but it’s tiny. Don’t expect much else. This is a lean run.
Rusty.

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.
