The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what Playa de Xago is serving up. Usually this break is super consistent, but this 16-day window is a mixed bag. The first week is a real struggle – tiny waves, iffy winds, not much to ride. Water temp is about 68°F right now, which is a touch warmer than average.
From now through the 19th, it's pretty much flat or close to it. The 15th and 16th mornings are glassy but with swell barely 2-2 ft and short period – not worth it. The 17th and 18th stay poor. The 19th sees period bump to 9s but only 1-1 ft – still not happening.
Then Monday the 20th – finally something. Morning brings a 5 ft NE swell, period 7s, with a clean cross-off breeze. Combined energy is 257 – moderate. It's not epic but it's your first real chance. Afternoon gets bigger at 6 ft but wind picks up to 16 mph, so morning is better. Expect crowds – this spot often gets busy.
After a few days of nothing, Saturday the 25th stands out – a 4 ft NNW swell with a very long period of 13 seconds, energy of 506 (strong). The problem? Onshore wind at 3 mph. Not ideal, but that long-period groundswell will wrap around. Morning is the best pick.
But the crown jewel is Tuesday the 28th – morning shows a clean 6 ft NW swell, 11-second period (long period groundswell), glassy conditions, and energy of 676 – strong. This is the one. The point break here will love that NW direction and long period, giving you clean, powerful waves. Afternoon gets a little cross-chop, so hit it early. The size is perfect for intermediate to advanced surfers.
Also worth noting: Monday the 27th morning has 4 ft NW and clean, and Wednesday the 29th morning has 4 ft NW and glassy – both solid backup days.
So yeah, there's a long dry spell until the 20th, then a few average days, then the real action on the 25th and especially the 28th. Mark that Tuesday morning, 28th July – it's your best bet.
Rusty out.

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).
