The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’.
First up, we gotta be straight with you – the next few days are a write-off. The surf is tiny and the wind is blowing straight on or cross-on, making a mess of things. The combined swell energy is weak, barely scratching 103 (moderate wave energy) at best on Saturday afternoon, but with short-period, messy windswell, it’s just not worth paddling out. You’ll be looking at a flat, choppy ocean from now until Sunday the 26th of July. Don’t bother.
Things finally start to turn around on Monday, July 27th. That’s the standout. The early morning session at Playa de Xago is your best bet. We’re looking at a clean 6 ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 10 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, bringing some real shape and energy. The combined energy jumps to a strong 532! The wind is a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the ENE, and the wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions”. This is the one to circle. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird there. This spot is very consistent, so you can rely on it. But keep in mind, it does get crowded often, so get there early.
After that Monday morning peak, the rest of the week fades. Tuesday the 28th has some waist-high swell, but the wind turns cross-on and the energy drops. By Wednesday and Thursday, it’s back to weak, ordinary conditions with combined energy values under 150. Friday and Saturday (31st July / 1st August) are tiny, with occasional glassy moments but no real power. The swell is just too small to get excited about.
The second week stays pretty flat. There’s a few clean, glassy mornings on August 2nd and 4th, but the swell is barely 3 ft with short periods. The energy is weak (under 100). It’s surfable if you’re desperate, but it’s not going to get your heart racing. A couple of mornings on August 6th and 7th offer clean conditions with a little pulse from the WNW, but again, tiny. Forecasts can change, but right now it looks like a long blank run after Monday’s stand-out.
Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Playa de Xago may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
