Alright, Rusty here, looking at what's coming for Playa de San Xurxo.
The first few days are a total write-off. Tiny, weak swell with a bunch of wind messing it up. The wave energy is real low, so just leave the board in the car.
Things get a little better on the morning of Thursday, July 9th. The swell is only 3ft from the WNW, but the wind is glassy, so it’s clean. It’s surfable, but nothing special. The same goes for the mornings of Friday, July 10th, and Saturday, July 11th. Those early glassy sessions on a clean 3ft NW swell are your best early bet. The energy bumps up a bit on Saturday morning, but it’s still small.
The real standout, the one you want to watch, is the morning of Sunday, July 19th. That’s when we get a jump in energy, with a 3ft swell from the west. The period is 12 seconds, so it’s a proper groundswell with some shape. The wind is cross from the WSW, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the biggest and most powerful swell of the whole forecast. It’s a couple of weeks out, so it’s a wait-and-see, but it’s the one with the most promise.
The rest of the second week is mostly small, 2ft to 3ft, with a lot of onshore breeze. The morning of the 22nd has a 4ft swell, but with a stiff cross-offshore wind, it could be clean, but the energy is only moderate.
So, for this spot, get up early for the glassy mornings if you want a clean, tiny wave. The 19th of July is the one to keep an eye on for anything with a bit more size. Otherwise, it’s mostly small and choppy.
Rusty.
