The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Playa de Xago over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got some small, weak swell with onshore or cross-onshore winds, so it’s going to be messy and bumpy. The water is feeling much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 71°F with a positive anomaly of 4°F, which is pretty notable.
We finally see a pulse of energy arrive on the Monday morning of the 27th of July. That’s the standout window. The swell picks up to 6ft from the NNW, with a period of 10 seconds, giving it some decent grunt. The combined energy hits 635 (moderate to strong), and with a light easterly breeze keeping things clean, the morning session is going to be the pick. The wind is cross-offshore, so the lines should hold up nicely. This is the best on offer.
The Tuesday morning of the 28th of July is still decent, with a 6ft NNW swell and a clean cross-off breeze, but the energy is already dropping a bit to 561. It’s still worth a paddle, but that Monday morning is the one to circle.
After that, the swell fades quickly. By Wednesday the 29th, we’re down to 3ft, and by Thursday the 30th, the onshore winds creep back in, ruining the shape. The rest of the run into early August is small, weak, and mostly messy, with a few glassy moments on the 1st and 2nd of August, but the waves are tiny – barely 1ft to 3ft. Not worth getting excited about.
This is a spot that’s very consistent, but it’s not a long run of quality. The one true standout is that Monday morning, 27th of July – get in the water early.
Rusty.
