Table - best surf conditions forecast for Xa over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let me lay it out for you. It's been a rough patch at Xa, and this 16-day forecast is a real bummer. The swell and wind just aren't playing nice.
Your first real chance is Sunday, July 26th. We have a glassy morning with some clouds, and a 3 ft swell from the SSE. The period is a short 9 seconds, so it's not going to have much power, but with no wind, it'll be smooth. The combined energy is 202 (moderate). It's the best of a bad run, but by the afternoon the breeze ruins it.
After that, it's mostly poor conditions. On Monday, July 27th, there's a small 3 ft SSE swell with a long 12-second period, but the wind is cross, and the surf is rated poor. That long period might make it break too straight for a beach break, too.
Your next real look is Monday, August 3rd in the morning. A 4 ft east swell with an 8-second period and a light cross breeze. The energy is a solid 326 (moderate), the biggest number in the whole run, but it's only rated as marginal. Don't get your hopes up.
Wednesday, August 5th morning has a cross-offshore wind from the SW. The swell is 4 ft from the east, period 8 seconds, and the energy is 271 (moderate). The notes say "clean," and the wind is light at 9 mph, so it's worth a check for a small, clean wave. Thursday, August 6th is similar with a 4 ft east swell and clean conditions. These are your only other standouts, but they're still average.
Friday, August 7th morning gives us a glassy 3 ft east swell with an 8-second period. The energy is 170 (moderate). Clean, but tiny.
The biggest swell tops out at 5 ft on Saturday, August 1st afternoon, but with onshore wind and poor surf, it's a washout. At that size with that wind, this beach setup might actually be better for kite surfing.
Your best pick is that glassy Sunday morning on July 26th for a small, clean wave. After that, the Wednesday and Thursday mornings on August 5th and 6th offer a bit of clean, knee-high surf. The rest is a write-off. It's a tough window, mate.

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.
