The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about Xa in feet and miles per hour, because that's how we measure it in some parts.
It's a tough outlook, boys and girls. The wind is going to be a pain for the first week and a half, with a lot of cross and cross-on chop making a mess of things. We're looking at a long dry spell with no real quality surf.
The only real beacon of hope is the morning of Friday, August 14th. The swell is from the SSE at 6ft, which is a serious size, and it's got a very long period of 15 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is a massive 1459, meaning it's packing a punch. That kind of long-period swell will be a treat at a reef like Xa. The wind is a light N breeze at 10 mph, so it'll be a cross wind, but light enough to keep the surface clean. This is strictly for experts; 6ft is a big wave, and with that power, beginners shouldn't even think about it.
Before that, there's a few mornings that are just "okay." The morning of Tuesday, August 4th has a small 4ft swell from the E, but it's a short 8-second period and the wind is cross. It's surfable, but it's not going to set the world on fire. The water temp is about average for the time of year at 74°F.
The morning of Tuesday, August 11th is actually clean with a nice cross-off breeze from the SSW at 15 mph, but the swell is only 4ft from the S with a short 7-second period. It'll be a weak, crumbly wave (combined energy of 337), so it's a longboard or a mess-around day.
That Friday the 14th is the one to watch. It's a week and a half away, so it's a long-range call, but the potential is there. The afternoons of the 18th and the morning of the 19th do show some glassy conditions, but the swell is tiny and weak, so it's not a game-changer.
So, to sum it up: the next week is a bust, but there's a big, powerful, long-period groundswell coming in for the 14th. That's your best and only real shot.
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.
