The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Xivares over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty flat and messy. There’s a long gap of almost nothing until the morning of Sunday, August 9th, when we finally see something surfable, but it’s nothing to get excited about.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Sunday morning, August 9th. The swell is tiny at 2ft out of the NNW, but the wind is glassy, which is a major plus. The energy is moderate (101). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. That’s about as good as it gets for a while.
Another small window pops up on the morning of Sunday, August 16th. The swell is 3ft from the NNW, and it’s glassy again. The energy is moderate (148). Same story: surfable, but nothing special. The period is only 7 seconds, so it’s a bit of a weak, short-period swell.
The water temperature is 69°, which is about 2° warmer than normal for this time of year, so pretty average for the season.
Given the lack of any decent size or quality, and the persistent onshore or cross-shore winds, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the period. The swell is just too small and the conditions too sloppy to recommend a paddle out.
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.
