Xivares Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks look pretty bleak for Xivares. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf and onshore or cross-shore winds messing things up. It’s a classic summer flat spell, and you might be looking at a week or more of not much to get excited about. Don't toss the board in the attic yet, though. There is a glimmer of hope out there in the distance, but we're gonna have to earn it with patience.

The first real chance of anything rideable doesn't show up until Sunday the 16th. There's a jump in the energy, but it's still not firing. The morning of the 16th has the best call with a clean 4ft of northwest swell at 10 seconds. The energy is still moderate at 319, but it’s the cleanest we've seen. The wind is dead calm, which is a huge plus. It’s small, but it could be fun on a longboard. The afternoon sees a bit more size at 4ft but the wind goes cross-on, so it’ll get a bit lumpy.

Then Monday the 17th looks like it might build, with the afternoon pushing 5ft from the northwest, but the wind is on it again, making it messy. The conditions just don't line up. The real standout is early on Tuesday the 18th. The swell jumps to 8ft from the northwest with a 10-second period, and the energy is strong at 1389. That's a proper push of water. For a more experienced surfer, Xivares (Asturias) will be handling some serious power. It's going to be a big, raw day, and with that size, it's only for the experts. The wind is light cross-shore, so it might have some texture on it, but the size is undeniable.

After that, it starts to ease off. Wednesday the 19th morning is another standout moment. Swell drops to a still-chunky 5ft from the northwest, but the winds go glassy. That's the combination we dream about. That will be the pick of the bunch for a surfer who wants some size but with clean, groomed faces. The energy is still strong at 687. This one has the best chance of being a really good session at Xivares. After that Wednesday, it fades back down into the small stuff, and we're back to waiting.

So, your window is the 16th for small clean waves, but the real meat is the 18th for experts, and the standout is the glassy 19th. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but there is some life in the old place yet.
