The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've been studying the charts for your local spot, Playa de Xago. Let's get into it.
The water is sitting at about 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a bad start.
The outlook is a bit of a slow burn with a real highlight later on. We’re going to have to be patient through the first few days. Thursday the 10th is where we get our first real taste. It’s nothing massive, a clean 5ft from the NNW with a 10-second period and a light offshore breeze out of the ESE. Wave energy is moderate (377). It’s a clean little window for an intermediate on a longboard.
Then Friday morning the 11th is even smaller, 3ft from the NW, but glassy offshore conditions. It’s just very ordinary, nothing to write home about. Things get pretty quiet over the weekend, with small, short-period swell that’s not worth paddling out for.
The real action kicks off on Sunday morning the 13th. This is your first proper call. We get a solid 5ft from the NW (785 energy), with a nice 12-second period. The wind is a cross-off from the ENE and the conditions are clean. This is the best swell of the first week – solid, clean, and consistent. This is the window you want to hit.
We get another clean morning on the 14th with a 4ft NW swell, but it's a step down from Sunday.
Then there's a poor stretch through the 15th and 16th with onshore winds and weak swell. Stay home.
Now, for the standout of the whole 16-day window, look to Thursday the 17th. This one is special. We have a clean 5ft from the NW, a nice 11-second period, and the wind is absolutely glassy offshore from the NE. The wave energy is strong at 618, and conditions are described as glassy. This is the best chance for clean, lined-up waves of the whole run.
The glassy conditions show up again on Saturday the 20th on the morning session, with a 4ft NW swell, but it’s not quite the same size or consistency as the 17th.
Be warned, Sunday the 21st gets big. The forecast shows a 13ft to 15ft pulse from the NNW. That is a monster. The wind is fine, but that's for experts with a death wish or a jet ski. Absolutely not a place for any regular surfer.
That big swell drops back on Tuesday the 22nd morning to a much more manageable 6ft from the NW with a clean 12-second period. Energy is still very high (1891), so it will be powerful but it’s a much better size for experienced surfers.
To sum up:
- This Sunday the 13th morning is your clean, solid, consistent session.
- Thursday the 17th is your absolute best bet for glassy, lined-up conditions with good power.
The rest of the fortnight is a mix of small stuff and poor wind.
Stay frothy.
Rusty.
