The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a pretty quiet start, I’m not gonna lie. The first proper surf we can talk about doesn’t show up until late in the first week. The water is running at 70°F right now, which is a solid 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a notable warm anomaly, so you’ll be shedding the wetsuit layers a bit earlier than normal.
The real action, and the standout window of the whole forecast, kicks off on the morning of Monday, July 27th. We’ve got a swell coming in from the NNW at 5ft, with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a decent groundswell, and the winds are cross-off from the ENE at 9 mph. The combined energy is sitting at 356 (moderate wave energy), and the conditions are clean. This is a solid intermediate wave. The swell direction is NW, which is close to the optimum NW direction for this spot.
The next true highlight, and the one that looks the best on offer, lands on Wednesday, July 29th. For the morning session, it’s glassy – dead calm wind from the NE at just 3 mph. Swell is a clean 4ft from the NNW with a long 11-second period, giving it a bit more punch. The combined energy bumps up to 307 (moderate). The water is still warm, the winds are nil, and the lines will be clean. This is the session to mark.
We’ve got a few other mornings that are worth a paddle. Tuesday, July 28th morning has 4ft NW swell with cross-off winds, clean but a bit smaller. Then again, Sunday, August 2nd morning is glassy again with a 3ft WNW swell, and Monday, August 3rd morning has a 4ft NNW swell with clean cross-off winds. These are all decent, but that Wednesday the 29th is the pick.
After the first week of August, the swell really drops off. From the 4th onward, we’re looking at small, weak waves under 3ft and poor conditions. It’s a long, flat run to the end of the forecast window.
So, best bet: Wednesday, July 29th morning. Glassy conditions, 4ft groundswell from the NNW, and the water is warm. You don’t get better than that on this stretch.
Keep an eye on the 27th as a warm-up and the 2nd and 3rd of August as follow-ups, but the 29th is the one.
Rusty.
