Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what Xa is dishing up.
Water temp is about average for the season. The first few days are a slow start. Don’t bother with Sunday, it’s flat and messy.
Monday the 6th of July has our first real look. Xa is a reef break, very consistent and exposed to the east. We’ve got a clean 3 ft SSE groundswell (300 combined energy) with an 11-second period. Wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSW, keeping the face tidy. It’s not big, but it’s clean and only for the advanced crew. Crowds are only "sometimes", which is nice.
Tuesday the 7th of July morning is the standout. Swell bumps up to 4 ft from the SSE (567 energy – moderate to strong), with an 11-second period. The wind is light and cross from the north, so just small ripples. This is the best window for the experienced surfer. Still under 5 ft, so not too intimidating.
We get more clean slots on the 9th and the 12th, but smaller. Thursday the 9th morning: 4 ft SE swell (347 energy) with a light cross-offshore breeze. Sunday the 12th morning: 3 ft ESE swell (346 energy) with a light cross-offshore. Good, but not the peak.
Then we hit a dry spell from the 14th to the 16th. Choppy and poor. Not a session in sight.
The last standout is a week and a half out. Monday the 20th of July morning. The wind goes dead calm – glassy from the NNW. The swell is a 12-second groundswell from the south at 3 ft (305 energy). The direction is off for this reef, but the glassy surface and consistency make it a wildcard for the dedicated surfer.
So the real call is Tuesday the 7th of July morning – the biggest cleanest swell. The second pick is Monday the 20th for the glassy conditions. Tuesday the 7th is the one to circle.
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.
