The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, lookin’ at the charts for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but we’ve got a few windows to get wet.
The first real surf on offer kicks off on Tuesday the 28th of July. The water is sitting at 68°, which is pretty standard for this time of year, nothing too wild. We’re looking at a clean, workable swell for the intermediate crew. The waves are coming in at 4 ft from the NW, with a 10-second period that gives them some push. The combined swell energy is a moderate 286, and with a light east-northeast breeze keeping things clean, the morning session is your best bet. Playa de Xago is the spot, and it’s very consistent, so you won’t be waiting around for long. Keep an eye out, though, as it can get crowded.
The next real standout to pencil in is Saturday the 8th of August. After a lackluster run of small, onshore rubbish, we get a return of fun-sized swell. The morning brings a clean 5 ft from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds and moderate energy at 223. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the faces will be clean. This is a solid morning wave for the intermediate surfer. It’s the best pick of the second week, but it’s over a week away, so treat it as promising but not locked in.
The rest of the period is a mixed story. The end of July and start of August are mostly tiny, weak, or blown out. There’s a pulse of energy on the 6th and 7th of August, but it’s paired with strong onshore winds and rain, making it a write-off for paddle surfing—looks more interesting for the kite crew. So, for the best waves, focus on Tuesday the 28th and that Saturday the 8th of August.
Rusty.
