The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Xivares over the next couple of weeks.
The first real sniff of anything worthwhile is a long way off, I'm afraid. For the first week and a bit, starting from Wednesday the 29th of July, it's a write-off. We're looking at tiny, weak swell with poor winds, and the combined energy is barely registering above 100. You're looking at a solid 10-day gap of nothing good to report. The waves that do show are small, messy, and not worth the paddle. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about normal for the time of year, no real surprises there.
Right, the first proper standout comes on Saturday the 8th of August. The morning is the ticket. The swell picks up to 3ft from the NNW, with a 10-second period, pushing the combined energy to a solid 316. The magic ingredient is the wind: glassy, from the north, which will make for clean, open faces. This is the best on offer in the whole window. The afternoon shows a bit more size at 4ft, but the wind goes onshore, making it a bit of a mess.
The next real highlight is Monday the 10th of August. Again, the morning is the go. A clean 4ft swell from the NNW, with a nice long 11-second period that'll give the waves some shape and energy. The combined energy is a strong 349, and with a glassy calm, no wind situation, it’s going to be absolutely pristine. This is the other standout. The afternoon has a bit of a cross-onshore breeze, so it’ll drop off in quality.
For the rest of the second week, the swell drops right back off. The 11th of August morning has a small, surfable wave but it's ordinary, and after that, we're back into the doldrums with tiny swell and poor conditions for the rest of the run.
To sum it up, don't even bother this week. The surf is dead. But, mark your calendar for the mornings of Saturday the 8th and Monday the 10th of August. Those are the two windows where it all comes together with clean, glassy conditions and a decent push of energy. The 8th is a bit smaller, the 10th has a bit more period and power. Both are worth shaking the sand out of your wetsuit 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.
