Table - best surf conditions forecast for Xa over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, let’s break down the next few weeks for Xa.
Alright, first up, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The waves are there, but the wind is all over the place, making things messy. The first few days have some chest-high swell, but it’s cross-shore or onshore, so it’s gonna be choppy and hard to get a clean ride. The combined energy’s in the moderate range (513), but the conditions just aren’t cooperating. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there.
The first real standout comes on Thursday, July 16th. The morning is looking glassy clean with a light offshore breeze, and the swell is picking up to 6ft from the ESE. That’s solid head-high plus, with a moderate energy reading of 559. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s not a super long groundswell, but the clean conditions will make it fun. Xa is a reef break, so it’ll handle the swell well. This is the best bet for the whole run, but it’s a spot for advanced surfers only, and it can get crowded sometimes.
After that, we drop back into a long stretch of average to poor conditions. The swell stays around 3ft to 5ft, but the wind keeps swinging cross or cross-on, and the period drops to 8 seconds or less. The energy numbers are weak, dropping into the 100-200 range. It’s a real lull from July 17th all the way through to July 23rd. There’s nothing worth paddling out for.
On Thursday, July 23rd, we get a little bump of hope. The morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 4ft from the E with a short 7-second period. The energy is low (151). It’s surfable for a lukewarm session, but nothing to get excited about. The afternoon turns onshore again.
The rest of the run into July 25th stays on the poor side. The wind is cross-on, the swell is short period, and the energy is inconsistent. It’s a lean period overall.
So, the one day to circle on the calendar is Thursday, July 16th, early. That’s where the magic is. The rest of the time, you’re better off waiting for the next forecast.
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.
