The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Xivares. Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak run for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a few windows where it might be worth a paddle, but you’ll be working for it. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about average for this time of year, so no need for a thicker wetsuit just yet.
The first real chance to get a wet suit on comes on Monday, the 27th of July. The morning session is the pick of a bad bunch, with a 6ft swell from the NNW, but it’s running at 10 seconds, so it’s got a bit of shape. The energy is moderate (636), but the wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. The afternoon is the same height but with a bit more energy (723) and the same choppy wind, so it’s not going to be clean. The rating on Xivares is intermediate, and it’s fairly consistent, so it’s a spot that can handle some swell, but the wind is the enemy here.
Thursday morning, the 30th, is a real tease. The swell has dropped to 3ft from the NW, but the wind is glassy. The energy is weak (95), and the period is only 8 seconds, so it’s not going to be doing much. It’s surfable, but just barely.
The next interesting window is a way off. On Thursday, the 6th of August, the afternoon shows a 5ft swell from the NNW with an 11-second period. That’s a longer period, so it’ll have more push and shape, but the wind is onshore and the energy is strong (610). It’s marginal, but it’s the best size we see in the whole outlook.
The standout, if you can call it that, is Friday morning, the 7th of August. The swell is 4ft from the NNW, and the wind is glassy. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s not a groundswell, but the energy is moderate (470). The conditions are expected to be good. The swell direction matches the optimum for Xivares (NNW), and the glassy wind will make it clean. This is the one to circle. The crowd profile at Xivares says it can be often busy, so expect company for this one.
The rest of the outlook is a mix of small, weak swells with poor wind. The energy values rarely get into the moderate range, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore. There’s a gap of several days from the 1st of August through to the 6th where the surf is so small and weak it’s not worth the effort. The long-range stuff on the 9th and 10th is tiny and weak, so don’t get your hopes up.

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.
