The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week is a bit of a struggle. We’ve got a long, flat spell to start, with nothing really worth paddling out for until the 20th of July. Even then, it’s only marginal. The real story here is the second week, where things start to get interesting.
The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of the 22nd of July at Xivares. It’s just a small 4ft NNE swell, but with the wind going glassy from the NNW, the surface will be clean. Not a standout, but a chance to get wet.
The standout is the 28th of July. Tuesday morning at Xivares is looking promising with a 2ft swell from the NNW, but the real magic is Tuesday afternoon. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the NNW, period up at 13 seconds, and the wind is glassy. That’s proper groundswell, and the conditions will be excellent. The combined energy is strong at 652, so there’s some punch in the water. It’s a reef setup, so that long period will wrap in nicely. If you can get out there, it’s the pick of the forecast.
The 29th of July sees a jump in size, with 7ft NNW swell on Wednesday morning, but the cross-shore wind will mess with the surface a bit. It’s still a decent wave, but the afternoon gets choppy with onshore wind.
The 30th of July is a big one but only for the experts. The swell hits 10ft from the NNW, and the energy is intense, over 2700 in the morning. It’s just too big and powerful for most, and the report says it’s too big for the break. Leave this one to the pros.
The 31st of July, Friday morning, is another excellent window. 8ft of NNW swell, cross-offshore wind cleaning it up nicely, and the energy is still very strong at 1787. This is solid, expert-level surf. For those with the skills, this is a close second to the 28th.
After that, the first of August sees the swell drop back to a more manageable 5ft, but the wind comes onshore, so it’s more of a mushy end to the run.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The 28th of July afternoon is the absolute best shot – clean, fun groundswell. The 31st of July morning is a close second for the experienced crew. Don’t sleep on that Tuesday arvo.
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.
