The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about Xa.
Alright, it's a bit of a flat spell for the next week or so. The forecast is a tough one for Xa, a reef break that needs an east swell to be at its best. We're looking at a long stretch of weak, choppy conditions with onshore winds messing things up. The energy is just not there for the paddle surfer.
We're in for a quiet run from Saturday the 1st to the 10th of August. The swell is small, mostly under 4 ft, and from the east, but the wind is almost always a problem – either a stiff cross-shore or a lumpy cross-onshore. The ocean is a mess of wind chop. The only real flicker of hope comes on Monday the 10th of August. The early morning shows a glassy surface with a light southerly breeze and a 5 ft swell from the northeast. The combined wave energy is moderate (224) and the water temp is a comfortable 74°, which is bang on average for this time of year. This is the one standout window. It won't be perfect, but that glassy morning should tidy up the lines for a few hours.
After that, the winds pick right back up, and the swell drops off again. The second week of the window is a write-off, with a lot of northerly wind and weak, short-period swell. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for much of this period.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
