The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Playa de Xago.
Alright, to be totally honest with ya, the next week and a half is pretty grim. The wave energy is weak, with a combined energy reading of just 89 on Tuesday morning, and for days on end it barely cracks a hundred. We’re looking at a real flat spell. The water temp is sitting at a pleasant 69°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least it’ll be nice to sit out there and get nothing.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Saturday the 22nd, early in the morning. We see a jump in energy with a combined swell energy of 528. That’s a moderate push from the NW at 5ft, with an 11-second period – proper groundswell. The wind is cross-on from the WSW, though, which will chop it up a bit and make it feel a little sloppy. Not the cleanest, but it’s something.
The standout, the one to really circle on your calendar, is Sunday the 23rd, morning session. This is where the stars align for a few hours. Combined swell energy sits at 270, with a clean 4ft NW swell. But the magic is the wind: glassy. Dead calm. The kind of morning that makes you forget all the flat days before it. NW is the optimum direction for this break (Playa de Xago), so the swell will wrap in nicely. Get out there early before the crowds roll in, because this spot is often busy for good reason. That 4ft is solid intermediate territory, but beginners will be fine with the size.
After that, Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th keep the swell alive, with energy shooting up to 615 and 471 respectively, and waves holding around 5ft to 6ft. But the wind is messy – cross-on or onshore – so it won’t be as clean as that Sunday. Tuesday the 25th morning is glass again, with a 5ft NW swell and a 10-second period, which will be a much better option than Monday. That’s a decent option if you missed Sunday, but Sunday is the one.
For the rest of the run into the 26th, the wind turns onshore again, and the quality drops off.
So, plain speaking: the first week is a write-off. The second week has some real potential, but Sunday 23rd morning is your best bet by a mile. Get it while it’s clean.
Rusty.
