The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a 16-day window for Playa de Xago, and I’ll be honest with you—it’s a pretty lean stretch of surf. The opening days are a slow start, but there are a couple of moments that might just get you wet.
The first real chance to paddle out comes on Friday, 31 July. Don’t get too excited, though. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft NW swell with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is weak (28). The morning is glassy, which is a beauty, but these are just poor surf conditions. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-shore breeze, making it even less appealing.
Saturday, 1 August, brings a slight improvement. The morning offers a 2ft NNW swell, cross-offshore wind, and clean conditions. The energy is still modest (69), but it’s surfable. Still, this is very ordinary stuff.
The standout for the entire period, and the only one I’d really call a highlight, arrives on Friday, 7 August. The morning shows a 4ft WNW swell, which is the biggest we’ll see. The combined energy jumps to moderate (167). Now, the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s not going to be grinding walls, but it’s a pulse. The wind is onshore, so expect some bump. This is the best on offer, but it’s really only for those who are keen to get out and won’t mind a bit of chop. It’s a bit much for beginners, but not big enough to scare off a solid intermediate.
After that, things drop back down. Sunday, 9 August, has a 2ft NNW swell with a 10-second period and clean cross-offshore wind in the morning. Energy is 90, so it’s surfable, but again, very ordinary. The week that follows is a real snoozer, with tiny swells rarely breaking 1ft and most days offering poor surf with onshore or cross-shore winds. There’s a stretch from the 11th to the 15th where the swell just disappears, with combined energy dropping into the teens and twenties. You’ll be lucky to find a wave over knee-high.
Water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no need for a steamer or a shortie unless you run cold.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, the morning of the 7th of August is your best bet. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game. Conditions can change, but for now, it’s a quiet run.
Rusty out.
