The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at Xivares across the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it starts off slow. The first few days have tiny swell and wind that’s not helping. From Thursday the 23rd through to Saturday morning the 26th, there’s really nothing worth paddling out for.
Sunday the 26th is the first chance to get wet. That morning, the wind goes light and cross-offshore, cleaning it right up. Swell is only 4ft from the NNW with a short 6-second period, so it’s weak. Wave energy is low (122). It’s a small, weak day – grab a longboard or a foamie. Not the best, but it’s surfable.
The real window to watch is Monday the 27th into Tuesday the 28th. Monday morning, swell jumps to 6ft from the NNW with the period stretching to 10 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, with a moderate energy reading of 580. The wind is cross-on from the ENE, so there’ll be some bump on the face. Not perfect, but there’s enough size for some fun lefts and rights. It’s marginal, but the push is there.
The cleanest standout? Wednesday the 5th of August morning. Glassy conditions, no wind at all, a clean 3ft from the NNW with a 10-second period, and energy at 249. Xivares will be smooth, clean, and playful. Crowds can be a thing here, but on a weekday morning you might get it quiet. That’s the top pick for quality.
Water temp on the 23rd was 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – about 3° above average. Not extreme, but you’ll feel it’s a little more like summer.
The second week has a couple more glassy mornings like Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th, but the swell is smaller (around 3ft) and the energy is low. Fine for a paddle, but not the standouts.
So, short version: the first few days are a bust. Best bet is Wednesday 5th August morning for clean, fun waves. Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th July offer the biggest swell but with some chop. Otherwise, it’s small and quiet. Watch for those glassy mornings – they’ll be the ones.

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.
