The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer for Xivares over the next couple of weeks.
First off, we're gonna have to wait a bit. The next week or so is looking pretty grim for decent paddle surfing. We've got a lot of poor surf conditions and choppy, cross-onshore wind hanging around, with swell a bit weak and messy. The water is sitting at a warm 71°, which is a good four and a half degrees warmer than usual for this time of year – that's a real plus when you're sitting out there.
The real stand-out, the one that's got my attention, is Monday the 27th of July. The morning is shaping up to be something special. We're looking at a clean 6ft swell rolling in from the NNW, with a solid 10-second period. That's a nice groundswell with some proper energy behind it (the combined energy reading is 798). The wind is going to be glassy – dead calm – so the surface will be like a mirror. That's a top-tier session for an intermediate surfer if you ask me. The swell direction is perfect for the spot, and with that longer period, the waves will have some real shape and punch.
Before that, the only other hint of something surfable is Sunday the 26th of July in the morning. We'll see a 6ft WSW swell with a cross-offshore wind, which will keep things clean. The combined energy is a solid 376, so it's got some weight, but it's not quite the standout that Monday is.
Tuesday the 28th of July morning also has a chance, with a 4ft NW swell, again glassy wind. It's a much smaller day, but it'll be clean and fun on a longboard, with a combined energy of 246.
After that, it looks like we're back into a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions right through to the 4th of August. The swell drops right off, and the wind turns back onshore. There's just not enough quality to get excited about in that second week. So, keep your eyes on the 27th – that's the one to book off work for.
Rusty.

Information about the Xivares Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Xivares provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Xivares can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Xivares 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 (Xivares) 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 Xivares 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.
Xivares is 6 km (4 miles) from Gijon. If you plan a holiday in Asturias, look for hotels and other accommodation in Gijon. Gijon has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
