The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about Xa.
It’s a reef set-up that wants easterly swell, and looking over the next sixteen days, we’re in for a real dry spell to start. From now until the 5th of August there’s almost nothing worth suiting up for – just tiny, weak windswell under 5ft with poor, onshore winds. The energy (under 300) just isn’t there.
The first flicker of life comes on the morning of Thursday the 6th of August. A small 3ft ENE swell only has a 7-second period, but the wind goes glassy. The combined energy is weak (119), so it’s small, but it'll be squeaky clean. Not a standout, but the first real chance to paddle out in a while.
The best session of the whole outlook hits on the morning of Friday the 7th of August. The wind swings light offshore from the W and the surface goes glassy. We see a 4ft NE swell with an energy reading of 203, and the report says “expect good surf conditions.” For a reef that likes easterly swell, this northeasterly should wrap in nicely for some clean, peeling lines. It’s an advanced spot, very consistent, but it does get crowded – so expect company.
Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th of August also start clean but the swell fades fast by the afternoon.
Looking into the second week, the energy builds big. By Friday the 14th of August we have a 6ft NE swell with moderate offshore wind and the energy surges to very strong (515). That’s a lot of power, but with a short 7-second period it could be a bit messy. Saturday the 15th holds size but gets lumpy. These are expert-only waves over 5ft, and the direction isn’t a perfect match for the break. It’s promising, but uncertain that far out.
Bottom line: if you want the best, cleanest chance, be on the reef early Friday the 7th of August. That’s 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.
